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.

Lions' WR Jameson Williams had 7 receptions for 144 yards with one touchdown for an astounding 20.6 yards per catch in Thursday's loss against the Packers.

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.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams recorded four receptions for 88 yards and a touchdown on seven targets in Sunday night's 16-9 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Williams scored the Lions' only touchdown of the night on an explosive 40-yard catch and run in the second quarter in what was otherwise a tough offensive performance against the Eagles' stout defense. The 24-year-old wideout continued his strong run of production in recent games, now totaling 14 catches on 20 targets for 273 yards and three touchdowns over the past three weeks after their Week 8 bye, averaging 20.1 PPR points per game. With Sam LaPorta (back) placed on injured reserve earlier this week, Williams will have a runway for a strong second half of the season after a disappointing first seven games.

Through nine games this season, Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams has recorded 27 catches for 474 yards and four touchdowns on 43 targets. Encouragingly for his fantasy outlook, the majority of the 24-year-old's production has come in recent weeks. Williams has now recorded at least six targets, 66 receiving yards, and a touchdown in three out of his last four games, including a season-high 119 receiving yards in Week 10 against the Washington Commanders. Williams and the Lions will face a much tougher test in Week 11 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Through 10 weeks, Philadelphia has allowed the ninth-fewest passing yards (1,979) in the NFL, and they are tied with the Denver Broncos for the fewest passing touchdowns allowed (eight). However, the Lions will be without tight end Sam LaPorta (back). That could lead to a few extra targets for Williams, particularly if Detroit is chasing points. Williams still has bust potential, but he profiles as a solid fantasy WR3 in Week 11.

Dynasty | Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams had six catches for 119 yards and a touchdown in a win against Washington. Dynasty Analysis: Dan Campbell apparently took over the play calling duties in the game and Williams was clearly a focal point. This was one of the best games he's had all year and if this is the start of something big, the buying window has clearly closed for him in dynasty leagues. He'll remain a WR2/3 with upside at the moment but his dynasty ceiling is about as high as anyone's.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams got off to an extremely slow start to Sunday's game against the Washington Commanders. Williams entered halftime with only one reception for 19 yards. Fantasy managers thought they were getting a dud from Williams, but he turned it around in the second half. Williams finished his day with six receptions on seven targets for 119 yards and a touchdown in the blowout win. This is now back-to-back games in which Williams has found the end zone. He'll look to keep that streak alive against the Philadelphia Eagles next week.

Lions' WR Jameson Williams had 6 receptions for 119 yards with one touchdown in Sunday's win in Washington.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams has recorded just 21 catches for 355 yards and three touchdowns on 36 targets across eight games in 2025. However, the 24-year-old has quietly been more productive of late. Williams has recorded at least six targets, 66 receiving yards, and a touchdown in two out of his last three outings. He'll get a favorable matchup on paper in Week 10 against the Washington Commanders. Washington ranks last in the NFL in yards per pass attempt allowed (8.8) and 29th in passing touchdowns allowed (19) through nine weeks. They will also be without top cornerback Marshon Lattimore (knee), who suffered a torn ACL in Week 9. Williams still has bust potential, but he could be set up for a boom week against Washington. Williams profiles as a solid fantasy WR3/flex option in Week 10.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams has spent most of the 2025 season looking like a fantasy bust, as he's recorded just 21 catches for 355 yards and three touchdowns on 36 targets across eight games. However, Williams has recorded at least six targets, 66 receiving yards, and a touchdown in two out of his last three outings. The 24-year-old remains the ultimate high-ceiling, low-floor player. Sandwiched in between impressive outings in Week 6 and Week 9 is a zero-catch performance in Week 7. Still, Week 10 against the Washington Commanders looks like it could be a boom matchup for Williams. The Commanders are allowing the most yards per reception (13.1) in the NFL so far this season and will enter Week 10 with multiple key injuries in their secondary. Williams profiles as a solid WR3 option for fantasy managers this week against Washington.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams had one of his better games of the 2025 season in Week 9, recording four catches for 66 yards and a touchdown on six targets in his team's 27-24 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Williams has been a frustrating player for fantasy managers this season, as he has hauled in 21 catches for 355 yards and three scores on 36 targets across eight games. Still, the 24-year-old has now recorded at least six targets, 66 receiving yards, and a touchdown in two out of his last three games. The main issue for Williams remains his non-existent floor, as the other game in that three-game stretch was a zero-catch performance. Williams remains a boom/bust flex option for fantasy managers heading into a potentially favorable Week 10 matchup against the Washington Commanders.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams has been one of the more disappointing players in fantasy so far this season, recording 17 catches for 289 yards and two touchdowns on 30 targets across seven games. In his final outing before Detroit's Week 8 bye, the 24-year-old was held without a catch on two targets by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Coming out of the bye week, Lions offensive coordinator John Morton told reporters he's looking to get Williams more involved in the team's offense. That may be difficult to do in Week 9 against the Minnesota Vikings, who have allowed the fourth-fewest passing yards (1,428) in the NFL through eight weeks. Williams was held in check by Minnesota across two games in 2024, recording seven catches for 30 yards on nine targets. He profiles as a low-end, boom/bust WR3/flex option for fantasy managers in Week 9.

Detroit Lions offensive coordinator John Morton said that he is going to do a better job at getting wide receiver Jameson Williams "more involved," according to Eric Woodyard of ESPN. Morton told Williams he's "failed him" so far. "He just goes and plays. Like I told him, 'I wouldn't fault you if you're pissed at me,'" Morton said. Many fantasy managers will have Williams sitting on their benches coming out of the team's Week 8 bye when they face the division-rival Minnesota Vikings this weekend, but don't be surprised if Williams gets the squeaky-wheel treatment after failing to catch his two targets in the Week 7 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 24-year-old has had two or fewer targets in two of the last three games and hasn't had a 100-yard performance for Detroit since Week 2 back on Sept. 14. Williams will likely continue to be a high-risk, high-reward fantasy wideout in a Lions offense with lots of mouths to feed.

From RotoBaller

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams saw just two targets and was held without a catch in his team's 24-9 Week 7 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 24-year-old has been one of the most frustrating players in fantasy so far this season, recording just 17 catches for 289 yards and two touchdowns across seven games. Williams has now been held to two or fewer receptions and 43 or fewer receiving yards in five out of seven contests. Williams ranks third on the Lions in targets (30), but his target volume has been more than doubled by Detroit's WR1, Amon-Ra St. Brown (61). As long as Williams continues to average around four targets per game, he's going to have major bust weeks in fantasy. His big-play ability gives him the capability to pop on any given week, but Williams profiles as a boom/bust flex option at best heading into Detroit's Week 8 bye.
