Fantasy Upside
Williams wasn't able to duplicate his 1,000-yard 2016 season, but he added 728 yards and four scores as heralded rookie Mike Williams, the Chargers' first-round pick last April, battled a back issue all season long. As Bleacher Report noted, "Tyrell Williams looks slow, but he has build-up speed and is able to get deep due to his size and ball skills. He routinely gets deep opportunities that most slot receivers don't enjoy."
Fantasy Downside
B/R added, "He's not the most agile or the quickest, and his ability to run after the catch suffers because of it."
2018 Bottom Line
Williams is a solid player, especially for what the Chargers ask of him. So even though Mike Williams will get every opportunity to improve on his 11-catch rookie season and move into the starting lineup (if healthy), Tyrell will still be a factor—perhaps as a utility player capable of working both outside and in the slot.
