Maxx Williams Fantasy

Arizona Cardinals tight end Maxx Williams opens up Week 1 with a favorable matchup against the Tennessee Titans. Unfortunately, Williams seems like a touchdown-or-bust player throughout the season in the high-octane Cardinals offense. With Dan Arnold's departure, Williams will see more snaps. Last season, he was featured in nine games, catching just one touchdown. Arnold had four touchdowns, just to give an idea of how much Murray utilizes tight ends in a crowded offense. With the additions of A.J. Green, Rondale Mooreand James Conner, along with DeAndre Hopkins and Chase Edmonds, Williams should not be considered in the vast majority of fantasy leagues. Although it's a favorable matchup, the touchdown-or-bust outlook isn't a promising one for Williams.

Arizona Cardinals tight end Maxx Williams (illness) is not listed on the team's official injury report ahead of their Week 1 meeting with the Tennessee Titans. Williams missed the team's second preseason game with a non-COVID-19 illness, and the team had their final preseason game postponed due to Hurricane Ida in New Orleans. The seventh-year tight end is pretty much the starter in Arizona in name only because of his experience. Williams isn't an ideal pass-catcher, and the Cardinals offense has plenty of other weapons for quarterback Kyler Murray to exploit. The 27-year-old had eight receptions (10 targets) for 102 yards and a touchdown in nine games (eight starts) last year, and he has just 86 catches for 801 yards and five touchdowns since his rookie year in 2015.

The Arizona Cardinals signed tight end Maxx Williams to a two-year contract extension on Saturday that will keep him under contract through the 2021 season. The 25-year-old was a second-round pick of the Ravens in 2015, and although he's been used more by Arizona in the second half of the season, he still has just 11 catches on 13 targets for 139 yards and a touchdown on the season. Williams has more than one catch in a game on just one occasion in 2019 when he caught all three of his targets for 34 yards and his only TD on Oct. 13 against the Falcons. He's not on the fantasy radar as a TE2, even at the weakest fantasy position.
