Jameson Williams Fantasy

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell said on Thursday that second-year wide receiver Jameson Williams is miles ahead of where he was last year in his rookie campaign. In 2022, Williams wasn't able to participate in spring workouts while he was recovering from a torn ACL. It's nice to hear for an extremely talented wide receiver, but the problem in 2023 is that Williams will be suspended for the first six games of the regular season for a violation of the league's gambling policy. The 22-year-old was a popular breakout candidate before the suspension announcement, but he'll still be worth stashing in most fantasy formats. Once his suspension is over, he's expected to be a much bigger part of Detroit's passing game in his sophomore season.

The NFL has suspended five players on Friday, including Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams, for violations of the league's gambling policy, according to sources. Lions receiver Quintez Cephus and safety C.J. Moore and Washington Commanders defensive end Shaka Toney are suspended indefinitely (at least for one year). Williams and Lions receiver Stanley Berryhill will be suspended for six games. It's a big blow for Detroit and for Williams, one of the league's more promising young wideouts. He got a late start in his rookie year in 2022 due to a knee injury and finished with a 41-yard touchdown catch in six games played. The 22-year-old still has plenty of exciting long-term upside for dynasty/keeper managers, but his stock in redraft leagues obviously takes a big hit with this news.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams caught one of his two targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in the 34-23 win over the Minnesota Vikings in Week 14. Since he only saw two targets, it's important to not overreact, but it was nice to see the rookie get involved in his second career game. Detroit is very much in the playoff picture, so they could begin to ramp up their 2022 first-round selection down the stretch. Detroit will face a tough New York Jets defense in Week 15 in the first round of the fantasy football playoffs.
