Lions WR Jameson Williams suspended for two games

Detroit Free Press

Oct 22 · 7:16 AM EDT

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams is facing a suspension. Again.

Williams is reportedly set to be suspended for two games for violating the NFL's Performance-Enhancing Substances policy, according to ESPN's Eric Woodyward.

Related players: Amon-Ra St. Brown, Kalif Raymond, Isaiah Williams, Tim Patrick, Sam LaPorta, Jahmyr Gibbs

Fantasy Impact:

Williams was also suspended for six games at the start of the 2023 season for violating the league's gambling policy when he made bets on sports at the Lions' facility, but not on the NFL, but the suspension was eventually reduced when the NFL changed its policy. He missed the first four games of the season, the story went on to say. With Williams out, Raymond, Williams and Patrick all move up the depth chart, but the Lions could end up giving more targets to TE LaPorta and RB Gibbs.

DET TE Sam LaPorta - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs.Tennessee Titans
Who knew we'd need a Jameson Williams suspension to light a fire under Sam LaPorta fantasy aspirations? The tight end has hit 7+ fantasy points in only two games, while failing to top 55 yards once after doing so seven times in his rookie season. What's worse, the Titans rank first in TE aFPA. If you've got a competent streamer loaded up, feel free to bench LaPorta, otherwise, just ride this out with the WR2 sidelined.
