Mike Williams Fantasy

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams caught two of his five targets for 27 yards in a Week 6 blowout loss versus the Baltimore Ravens. The oft injured receiver entered the game battling a knee injury and with the game out of hand, he sat out most of the fourth quarter. The Chargers offense as a whole was ugly on Sunday and managers should chalk this up as just a bad game for Williams. The upcoming free agent has been enjoying the best season of his career with 33 receptions, 498 yards and six touchdowns on the season. The good news for both Williams and managers is that he will get a bye in Week 7 to rest his knee. The hope is that Williams will be good to go for a Week 8 matchup against the New England Patriots.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (knee) is active for the Week 6 contest against the Ravens despite missing practice all week with swelling in his knee. Williams has been great this season, with six touchdown receptions, but it's fair to wonder what his workload will look like this week. Managers in season-long leagues probably need to play him because of the upside, but be aware that he could end up serving more as a decoy than a real downfield threat.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (knee), listed as questionable, is expected to suit up for Sunday's game against the Ravens. Williams was unable to practice all week, as his knee was swelling up, though it seems like the team was taking the cautious approach with their star wideout. The 27-year-old should be out there Sunday as long as he doesn't experience a setback in the pregame. Despite the injury, Williams belongs in all lineups, as he's exceeded 80 receiving yards with at least one touchdown in four of five games. Fantasy managers should only consider other options if they possess a deep bench.
