Mike Williams being released by Los Angeles Chargers

The Los Angeles Chargers intend to release WR Mike Williams. They would like to bring him back, but he will explore the open market.

Fantasy Impact

Williams, who was set to have a cap hit of $32 million, will save the Chargers about $20 million with his release. He's coming off of a season-ending injury and will be heading into Year 8 in the NFL. He will turn 30 in October but has multiple 1,000-yard campaigns and is a boundary receiver who can threaten defenses on the outside and in the red zone. There was speculation he could be traded but will be cut instead, and the Chargers could be in on WR in this year's NFL Draft.

Mike Williams undergoes ACL surgery Wednesday

Chargers WR Mike Williams underwent successful surgery for his torn ACL Wednesday and is expected to be ready for training camp.

Fantasy Impact

Williams will now turn his focus to rehabbing to get ready for the 2024 season. The Chargers do have an out in Williams’ contract after this season, which they could choose to exercise heading into the last year of his three-year contract. Fantasy managers should expect Joshua Palmer and rookie Quentin Johnson to see additional snaps with Williams out for the season.

Mike Williams out for season with torn ACL

An MRI today revealed that Chargers WR Mike Williams has a torn ACL and will miss the remainder of the season.

Fantasy Impact

Williams suffered the knee injury in San Diego's Week 3 game against Minnesota. Joshua Palmer and Quentin Johnston will see an increase in targets and opportunities on a team with 122 passing attempts through three games. Both should be rostered in all fantasy formats.

Mike Williams to receive MRI, fear of significant injury

According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, WR Mike Williams will receive an MRI on his knee to test it with the fear being that he suffered a significant, potentially season-ending, injury.

Fantasy Impact

The hope is that his injury will be lesser than the initial fears, but we will not know until we get back the results. If Williams misses any significant time, rookie WR Quentin Johnston will likely see a significant increase in role. He has played behind WR Joshua Palmer, who will likely pair with Keenan Allen in two-WR sets, but could see increased usage in the passing game.
