Jameson Williams Fantasy Stats

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams got off to a slow start in 2025, but has emerged as one of the most dynamic wide receivers in the league in the second half of the season. The 24-year-old wideout is one of only six receivers and tight ends to post more than 500 yards since Week 9, along with Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Nico Collins, Michael Wilson, Puka Nacua, and Trey McBride. Williams has taken full advantage of his increased opportunities with Sam LaPorta (back) on Injured Reserve. He possesses weekly upside for long touchdowns that few players in the league can match. He profiles as a borderline WR1 in fantasy for a potential Week 15 shootout against the Los Angeles Rams.

Across 13 games this season, Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams has recorded 45 receptions for 802 yards and six touchdowns on 72 targets. While the 24-year-old's full-season numbers are more good than great, he's been coming on very strong of late. Across six games since Detroit's Week 8 bye, Williams has hauled in 28 receptions for 513 yards and four touchdowns on 42 targets. With Lions tight end Sam LaPorta (back) on Injured Reserve, Williams has stepped in as the unquestioned number two option in the Detroit passing game alongside wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown. The Lions have a tough matchup in Week 15 against the Los Angeles Rams, who currently rank seventh among NFL defenses in fewest yards per pass attempt allowed (6.5). The Rams have also allowed just two pass plays of 40 or more yards all season long, which is tied for the second-fewest in the league. For a player like Williams, who is reliant on big plays, that should give fantasy managers some pause. Still, Williams has earned 19 targets over the last two weeks, and it seems likely that the Lions will continue to try to scheme up ways to get him the ball. Williams profiles as a high-end fantasy WR2 in Week 15.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams converted nine targets into seven catches for 96 receiving yards during Thursday's Week 14 win over the Dallas Cowboys. Each of those three statistics either tied or singlehandedly set team-highs in the Detroit victory. Williams capitalized on increased opportunities to produce with Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) less than 100 percent. St. Brown was still heavily involved, but Williams had more targets and yards than his talented receiver teammate, and the two tied for playing time with 57 snaps. The 24-year-old has now posted at least 16.6 fantasy points (PPR) in five of his last six games, with the lone exception being a zero-catch dud in Week 12. During that six-week span, he ranks as the overall WR12 in fantasy points per game, as well as the WR1 in total fantasy points. Even if St. Brown is back to 100 percent next week against the Los Angeles Rams, Williams should still be viewed as a fringe top-12 fantasy receiver and a must-start in all leagues.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams had one of the most productive games of his career in Week 13 against the Green Bay Packers, recording seven catches for 144 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets. After Lions wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) went down early in the game with an ankle injury, Williams stepped up as the team's WR1. St. Brown is officially listed as questionable for the team's Week 14 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, but he was a non-participant in practice all week. Even if St. Brown can play, he'll likely be somewhat limited, and the Lions will still be without star tight end Sam LaPorta (back) and depth wideout Kalif Raymond (ankle). All things considered, there's a solid chance that Williams will be the go-to target once again for Lions quarterback Jared Goff against the Cowboys. On paper, Dallas is a favorable matchup, as they currently rank last in the NFL in both passing yards (3,234) and passing touchdowns (28) allowed. Williams profiles as a must-start fantasy wide receiver in Week 14.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams is expected to operate as the WR1 in Week 14, when the Lions host the Dallas Cowboys. The former first-round pick has been a fantasy rockstar as of late, totaling over 66 yards and a touchdown in five of his last seven games. Last week, Amon-Ra St. Brown suffered an ankle injury that knocked him out of Week 13's loss to the Green Bay Packers. With St. Brown not practicing ahead of Week 14, Williams is likely to see more targets on Thursday night. Last week, Williams hauled in seven of 10 targets for 144 yards and a touchdown. The matchup is perfect for Williams as well, as the Cowboys have allowed the most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025. Despite being labeled as a fantasy bust earlier in the season, Williams is a locked-in WR1 in Week 14 if St. Brown is unable to play.

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell spoke highly of wide receiver Jameson Williams on Tuesday, praising his continued growth in the offense. "He's really growing. He just continues to grow and get better," said Campbell. Williams is ready to take on a larger role in the Lions' offense as the team deals with multiple injuries to their skill players, with Amon-Ra St. Brown (knee) and Kalif Raymond (calf) both expected to miss time with injuries, and tight end Sam LaPorta (back) on Injured Reserve. The 24-year-old took advantage of St. Brown leaving early against the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving Day last Thursday, recording seven receptions for 144 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets. Williams should be expected to lead the Lions in targets again on Thursday night against the Dallas Cowboys if St. Brown is ultimately ruled out.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams went off on Thanksgiving after Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) left early in the first quarter with an ankle injury, recording seven receptions for 144 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets. Williams was the clear focal point of Detroit's passing offense with St. Brown sidelined, and he delivered with his most targets, receptions, and yards in a game this season. The 24-year-old's touchdown came on what looked like a dead screen play with an unblocked defensive back closing on him, but Williams made him miss and then turned on the jets for a 22-yard score just before halftime. Williams had multiple other explosive chunk gains throughout the game and took advantage of multiple star teammates being sidelined. St. Brown is reportedly expected to miss one to two weeks, which sets Williams up for another strong game in Week 14 against the Dallas Cowboys.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams had a brutal showing in Week 12 against the New York Giants, recording zero receptions on three targets. The 24-year-old is one of the most difficult players for fantasy managers to predict. He's recorded at least 66 receiving yards and a touchdown in four out of his last six games, but the two contests where he did not reach those marks were both zero-catch performances. Williams and the Lions now get a tough matchup in Week 13 against the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving Day. Through 12 weeks, the Packers defense is allowing the fewest yards per pass attempt (5.9) in the NFL. Williams struggled against Green Bay in his first matchup against them back in Week 1, recording four catches for 23 yards on five targets. However, the Lions will be without wide receiver Kalif Raymond (ankle) and top tight ends Sam LaPorta (back) and Brock Wright (neck) in Week 13, which could mean more targets for Williams. He profiles as a boom-bust, low-end fantasy WR2 in against Green Bay.

Heading into Week 12, Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams had recorded at least 66 receiving yards and a touchdown in three straight contests. However, the 24-year-old put up a massive dud in Week 12 against the New York Giants, failing to record a single catch on three targets. Williams has increased target opportunity in Detroit with tight end Sam LaPorta (back) on Injured Reserve, and the wideout's big-play ability gives him explosive upside on a week-to-week basis. However, Week 12 was a stark reminder that Williams' production floor is as low as any player in the league. So far this season, he's recorded three games with fewer than 10 receiving yards and two without a single reception. The Lions have a difficult matchup in Week 13 against the Green Bay Packers, who held Williams to four catches for 23 yards back in Week 1.

After an underwhelming start to the 2025 season, Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams has caught fire in recent weeks. Over his last five games, the 24-year-old has recorded 20 receptions for 339 yards and four touchdowns on 29 targets. On paper, Williams should have a good chance to extend his hot streak in Week 12 against the New York Giants. Through 11 weeks, the Giants have allowed the sixth-most passing yards (2,641) and seventh-most passing touchdowns (19) in the NFL. Recent developments in Detroit also favor Williams. In the two games since head coach Dan Campbell took over as his team's play-caller, Williams has been targeted 14 times and is averaging 20.7 yards per reception. Additionally, the Lions will be without tight end Sam LaPorta (back) in Week 12, which will lessen the target competition in Detroit. Williams profiles as a high-end fantasy WR2 in Week 12.
