Antonio Williams Fantasy Stats

Washington Commanders wide receiver Antonio Williams didn't hear his name called until the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, but he could still have a starting role as early as Week 1. The Clemson product had 130 catches, 1,508 yards, and 15 touchdowns over his last two seasons at school. Now, he immediately projects as the Commanders' No. 2 receiver behind Terry McLaurin. That's good enough to get him into the starting lineup right away, assuming Washington doesn't make any other big additions at the position. There's still a chance they could go out and acquire someone like Brandon Aiyuk, but for now, all signs point to Williams having a significant role. Third-round draft capital doesn't usually translate to first-year success in fantasy football, but there are exceptions, especially for receivers with as much projected volume as Williams.

The Washington Commanders have selected Clemson wide receiver prospect Antonio Williams with the 71st overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. A four-year contributor at school, Williams had 130 catches, 1,508 yards, and 15 touchdowns over his last two seasons. This selection addresses an area of need for the Commanders. Washington lost Deebo Samuel Sr. in free agency, leaving Terry McLaurin as the team's only fantasy-relevant receiver. The Commanders continue to be linked to 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, but for now, Williams should slot into the No. 2 role behind McLaurin in this Jayden Daniels-led offense. He entered the draft as the overall WR93 in RotoBaller's dynasty fantasy football rankings.
