inherits 3% of DET targets (20% vacated, his claim 16%)
Williams secured six of eight targets for 102 yards in the Lions' 32-26 loss to the Panthers on Sunday night.
Williams led the Lions in receiving yards on the night, and all three components of the fourth-year speedster's receiving line were also season-high figures. The productive performance was an especially welcome sight for fantasy managers who were banking on a true breakout season for Williams after back-to-back 1,000-yard campaigns, and the 2022 first-round pick should have a good opportunity to carry over the momentum into a favorable Week 5 road matchup against the Cardinals next Sunday.
Williams brought in two of four targets for 33 yards in the Lions' 41-31 loss to the Bills on Thursday.
Williams produced modest numbers for the second time in as many games to open the season, and the speedy wideout didn't even record his second reception until just before the two-minute warning in the second half. Both of Williams' catches Thursday went for first downs, but he saw a sizable reduction from the nine targets he'd logged in the season-opening overtime victory against the Saints on Sunday. The 2022 first-round pick will look to put together his first standout performance of the season in a Week 3 home matchup against the Jets on Sunday, Sept. 27.
Above the line the plan was to throw; below it, to run.
