Wide Receiver Rank: #16
Overall: #58
A trade to the Cowboys was supposed to boost Williams' numbers. Instead, he finished with more receiving yards in five games with the Lions than in 10 with the Cowboys. Williams wasn't much of a factor in the Cowboys offense, getting few targets from week to week. He should be a bigger factor this season, though, as he learns the offense and gets used to working with Tony Romo. Williams is likely to be the top target for the Cowboys with Terrell Owens gone. He can rebound from a disappointing '08. Williams is a top athlete. He is big (6-3), very strong with good speed and isn't afraid to make the tough catch.

Williams has just one 1,000-yard season under his belt, so don't overvalue him. But he can be a 1,000-yard receiver with seven touchdowns in the Cowboys offense as their top option. Take him has a No. 2 receiver for your team. He is a good buy-low candidate after flopping last season. |
