Mike Williams Week 2 Outlook - 49ers at Jets

He went from not expected to play for a few weeks, to maybe he'll be on a snap count, to getting 43.3 percent of the team's air yards. He looked great, too, though I was worried about his health as Taylor continually threw the ball high, leaving him getting hit hard down the field. This matchup would've been one to avoid last year, but the Chiefs secondary is likely going to be missing their top two perimeter cornerbacks, as Bashaud Breeland is suspended, and Charvarius Ward broke his hand last week. That would leave them with L'Jarius Sneed and Rashad Fenton to start. Sneed is a fourth-round rookie, while Fenton is a sixth-round pick from last year who's only seen 30 targets come his way to this point in his career. If Taylor is willing to throw it up to Williams, he can win one-on-one in these matchups, though we have to be a bit cautious based on what the Chargers are saying (they want to get Ekeler more targets), as well as Keenan Allen's plus matchup. I'd still consider him someone who should be in the low-end WR3/high-end WR4 conversation.
