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.

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.
