2024 Player Outlook

2023 was yet another lost season for the 2022 12th overall pick. He began the year with a suspension due to violating the leagues gambling policy and then also dealt with soft tissue injuries during training camp and the preseason. When he was finally able to get on the field in Week 5 he held a steady but underwhelming role in the Lions offense, averaging around 50% snap share but finishing the season with just 24 catches for 354 yards and two scores. We know the skillset for Williams, he is a downfield burner that is used to stretch defenses while Amon-Ra St. Brown and Sam LaPorta attacked the middle of the field but there is definitely more talent than that with Williams and word out of mini camp is that Williams is re-committed, focused and in great shape heading into his third NFL season. We are excited for the continued development of the Lions offense as they look to make a deeper push into the NFL playoffs this season and Williams is a low risk / high reward pick up as he comes off the board as WR48.
