Where should you draft Williams?
Williams’ fantasy value should be solid this season thanks to the wide receiver corps and offense that will surround him.
Williams will have one of the top wide receiver trios in the league, which includes DJ Moore, Keenan Allen, and Rome Odunze, who was drafted 9th overall in 2024 out of Washington. Also enhancing the offense and Williams’ stats will be RB D’Andre Swift and TE Cole Kmet who are both experienced veterans.
While Williams is still unproven in the NFL, draft him starting in the 6th round. He is not the best QB in the draft by any stretch of the imagination, but he has shown his potential throughout the preseason, including an ability to escape the pocket and pick up yards on the ground. Do not let him fall out of the 8th round. With a highly-touted offense around him, he will add value to any fantasy team.
