Antonio Williams Fantasy Stats

Washington Commanders rookie wide receiver Antonio Williams will have an elevated role in his team's passing attack for the rest of the 2026 season with fellow wideout Terry McLaurin (knee) expected to miss the rest of the year after he injured his knee in Monday night's loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 6. The 22-year-old 71st overall pick in the third round from Clemson has caught 18 of his 26 targets for 205 yards and one touchdown in his first six NFL games with the Commanders. The demand for Williams remains low with the Commanders on their bye in Week 7, but starting in Week 8 against the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles, the young pass-catcher will be much more intriguing as a waiver-wire pickup for WR depth, as he will have a chance to become Washington's WR2 behind veteran Stefon Diggs. Most of Williams' competition for targets will come from former first-rounder Treylon Burks. In Monday's loss to the 49ers, Williams caught three passes for the third straight game for 50 yards, which was his second-highest receiving total through six contests. He has been a steady contributor early on, but his fantasy ceiling will be raised for the rest of the season with McLaurin out.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Antonio Williams has gotten off to a strong start to his rookie season, and the third-round pick from Clemson could be in for even more work following his Week 7 bye week. In the first half of the team's Week 6 loss in San Francisco, star receiver Terry McLaurin (knee) appeared to suffer a significant injury, and if he is out as expected, Williams would likely get even more targets and chances to make an impact. In that Week 6 loss to the Niners, Williams led all the Commanders' receivers with a 67% snap share on Monday Night Football and has played over 65% of snaps in each of his last three games. He has multiple catches in each of his six games this season, totaling 18 catches for 205 yards and a touchdown. He had a season-high eight targets against the Colts in the one game McLaurin missed earlier this season, and the team will give the rookie a long look and plenty of chances to prove his role on the team moving forward after the Commanders' disappointing 1-4-1 start to the season. Williams is worth rostering in nearly all formats given his projected increase in workload.

Washington Commanders rookie wide receiver Antonio Williams has caught multiple passes in every game so far this season. Williams currently ranks third among rookie wide receivers and tight ends with 31 yards per game (minimum 100 routes). The rookie third-rounder has seen his role spike over the past two weeks with both Terry McLaurin (hamstring) and Stefon Diggs (hamstring) missing a game each, leading the team with a 74.4% route share after being at 36.5% over weeks one through three. While both McLaurin and Diggs are listed as questionable for Monday night, both veterans are trending toward playing, which severely limits Williams's fantasy upside. Williams is best left on the bench in Week 6 except for deeper leagues.

Washington Commanders rookie Antonio Williams caught all three of his targets in his team's 27-27 tie with the Giants in Week 5. He played 68% of snaps, which was second on the team at receiver behind only Treylon Burks. Stefon Diggs (hamstring) missed that contest, and Terry McLaurin was limited to 58% of snaps while playing through a hamstring injury of his own. With both veterans working through injuries, Williams could continue to step into a more expanded role. The third-round pick has 15 catches for 155 receiving yards and a touchdown in his five games and is a solid waiver wire option in deep leagues while he stays so involved and the Commanders focus on his development. He's still a high-risk starter in standard-sized leagues, but he can be rostered to help navigate bye weeks.

Washington Commanders rookie third-round wide receiver Antonio Williams played a season-high 69% of the offensive snaps in Sunday's Week 4 blowout loss to the Indianapolis Colts in London with fellow wideout Terry McLaurin inactive due to a hamstring injury. The 22-year-old from Clemson did little with a season-high eight targets, though, catching three passes for 21 yards. It did not help Williams' cause that veteran quarterback Marcus Mariota (knee) left the game with an MCL sprain, leading to third-stringer Athan Kaliakmanis entering the game. Through his first four NFL games, Williams has caught 12 of his 19 targets for 124 yards and one touchdown. He is currently rostered in only 6% of Yahoo leagues, but Williams deserves some attention with McLaurin injured and potentially up in the air to play this weekend against the division-rival New York Giants. If McLaurin misses another game and starting QB Jayden Daniels returns from his dislocated left elbow, Williams will be a sneaky flex play in deeper fantasy leagues in Week 5.

Washington Commanders rookie wide receiver Antonio Williams may be in line for an increased role in Week 4 against the Indianapolis Colts, with Terry McLaurin (hamstring) now not expected to play. Williams has had multiple receptions in every game so far this season and has looked impressive with his limited opportunities. It will be interesting to see how much the rookie third-rounder's role increases after he saw his route share down to a season low of 22.9% in Week 3. Veterans Treylon Burks and Dyami Brown have maintained steady roles and are expected to be a part of a rotation again in Week 4. Williams should still have more opportunities this week and could have some flex appeal in deeper formats in an appealing Week 4 matchup against a Colts defense that has allowed the third most passing yards per game (276) and the fourth most yards per pass attempt (7.8).

Washington Commanders wide receiver Antonio Williams is hopeful to break out of his slump against the Indianapolis Colts this weekend. Williams was solid in the season opener when he hauled in four receptions for 64 yards and a touchdown. Since then, Williams has been quiet, but he has a chance to break out this weekend. Fellow wideout Terry McLaurin (hamstring) is currently listed as questionable to suit up for Sunday's game. He appears to have tweaked something during Friday's practice, so he won't have a ton of time to get ready for Sunday's game. If McLaurin is out, Williams could step into a larger role in the passing game, which might put him in flex territory for Week 4.

Washington Commanders rookie wide receiver Antonio Williams saw his snap share increase from Week 1 to Week 2 after his impressive performance against the Philadelphia Eagles. Williams was quieter in Week 2's loss to the Cowboys, hauling in all three of his targets for 24 yards. The rookie wideout will also now be without Jayden Daniels (elbow) and will look to establish a connection with veteran Marcus Mariota. Washington's offense operated slower and more run-heavy with Mariota last season, but new offensive coordinator David Blough could operate differently. Williams remains a solid bench stash, but projects as a deeper league fantasy option in Week 3 against the elite Seattle Seahawks defense.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Antonio Williams caught all three of his targets for 24 yards in Week 2's loss to the Dallas Cowboys. The rookie receiver out of Clemson has been good so far this season after catching four passes for 64 yards and a touchdown in Week 1 against Philadelphia. At 5-foot-11, 195 pounds, Williams operates mostly in the slot and is fighting for the No. 3 wide receiver role with Washington behind Terry McLaurin and Stefon Diggs. He's showed some promise, but with quarterback Jayden Daniels set to miss some time it puts a cap on all the Washington receivers' fantasy value. Williams has done a nice job so far in his rookie season, but it might be worth a close examination on the waiver wire. It is a risky move to pickup Williams as a starting receiver for your fantasy teams although he does have some deep-league value.

Washington Commanders rookie wide receiver Antonio Williams had an outstanding NFL debut, catching all four of his targets for 64 yards and a touchdown. The rookie third-rounder looked great despite seeing limited action and was among the top waiver adds this week. Williams ran only 11 routes in Week 1, but posted an absurd 5.82 yards per route run, which ranked only behind Zay Flowers (minimum 10 routes). Williams has almost certainly earned himself an expanded role in Washington's offense, especially with tight end Chig Okonkwo (hamstring) ruled out for Week 2 against the Dallas Cowboys. Williams is ranked as RotoBaller's WR65 in PPR leagues for Week 2.
