Tyrell Williams Week 14 Outlook -

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Thu, Dec 5th 2019, 1:19pm EST

You would've thought that Williams would see an increase in targets with Hunter Renfrow on the shelf, but that didn't happen. He's now seen in-between 4-6 targets in each of his last six games and has averaged just 2.7 receptions per game during that time. He has topped 48 yards just twice since Week 1, which hardly suggests he's a must-start every week. In fact, you need to find a reason to play him. Do we have that reason against the Titans? Maybe. It seems like their top cornerback Adoree Jackson is 50/50 at best this week, and they were already down Malcolm Butler (injured reserve) and LeShaun Sims (ankle). That would leave a trio of Logan Ryan (who mans the slot in three-wide), Tye Smith, and Kareem Orr at cornerback. Smith is a former fifth-round pick from 2015 who's played 289 career snaps, while Orr is an undrafted rookie who played his first snaps last week. When healthy, the Titans were an average matchup for receivers, but if Jackson is forced to miss this game, Williams is likely to get back into the high-end WR4 conversation.
