Tyrell Williams

It almost feels like I'm looking at the deep version of Jason Witten when I look at Williams' stats over the weeks. He's tallied in-between 4-6 targets in each of the last four games with 3-4 receptions in each of the last six games. It just seems that he's not as heavily involved since he missed time with his foot injury. When someone has a ceiling of four receptions over a six-week period, you need some big catches and/or touchdowns to get him into the WR3 conversation, which is something that's certainly possible with him against the Jets. They've allowed the second-most fantasy points to the wide receiver position, including 15 touchdowns. The one worrisome part is that no receiver has scored more than 15 PPR points against them while seeing less than seven targets, again, a number Williams hasn't hit since returning from his foot injury four weeks ago. The Jets have Bless Austin and Arthur Maulet covering the perimeter receivers, a duo that's only seen 18 targets in coverage this year, allowing 10/84 on them, so not bad on the small sample size. Against the Redskins, you'd expect them to do well. Williams should be a WR3 this week but needs more targets if he wants to get into that top-24 conversation.
