LAC WR Tyrell Williams - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. Tennessee Titans (London)

The Chargers are favored with an implied team total of 26 points, foreshadowing what should be a successful offensive day for this offense. Tyrell Williams comes off a big Week 6, but those thinking of starting him again should tread lightly. He will likely mostly face Titans CB Adoree Jackson, who is only allowing a passer rating under 60.0 this season. Philip Rivers will likely target his other pass catchers more, and Tyrell has not had a single game with six or more targets this season. He's too big of a risk in Week 7.

LAC WR Tyrell Williams - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Oakland Raiders

The Chargers have the third-highest implied team total in Week 5 at 28.75 points. Oakland is just 21st in aFPA to WRs this season. Nevertheless, Tyrell Williams hasn't surpassed 5 yards receiving in any game this season. He's waiver wire fodder.

LAC WR Tyrell Williams - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. San Francisco 49ers

The 49ers rank 10th in aFPA to WRs, and only the Chiefs have a higher implied team total this week, with the Chargers expected to score 28.5 points. Keenan Allen did not practice Thursday with a knee issue. That needs to be monitored, as it would significantly increase the ranking for Tyrell Williams this week. If Allen is active, Williams should not be anywhere near lineups with his extremely low target counts.

LAC WR Tyrell Williams - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Los Angeles Rams

Proceed cautiously with the Chargers offense this week, despite the fact that they lit up the Chiefs and Bills in the first two weeks of the season. The Rams defense is most certainly not the Chiefs or Bills. A low implied team total of 20.5 points is also cause for concern. The Rams are first in fantasy points allowed to WRs, with less than 60 yards given up to the position each of the first two games, with no touchdowns. Granted, it was against Derek Carr and Sam Bradford at QB, but this is not a week to have any confidence in a Chargers WR not named Keenan Allen.

LAC WR Tyrell Williams - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Buffalo Bills

The Bills lost 47-3 to the Ravens last week. Enough said. Keenan Allen kicked butt in Week 1 against the Chiefs, torching them for 8-108-1 on 11 targets, but Mike Williams looked good too. A solid 5-81 day puts this Williams in the driver's seat to be the Chargers WR2 this season and a red zone threat. That's not going to leave many targets for Tyrell Williams, who only saw five in Week 1. It's a good match-up on paper, but game script could hurt Williams' targets if the Chargers get up early on the Bills. It's still likely a risky play due to lack of volume.

LAC WR Tyrell Williams - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Kansas City Chiefs

The Chargers have the sixth-highest implied team total in Vegas this week at 25.75 points. The Chiefs were dead last a season ago in aFPA to WRs. With Hunter Henry out for the season and Antonio Gates not listed as the starter for Week 1 at tight end, there are plenty of vacant targets last season for somebody to pick up behind Keenan Allen. However, the uncertainty in the target pecking order renders Williams a non-starter in redraft leagues until this WR depth chart sorts itself.

LAC WR Tyrell Williams - 2018 Fantasy Football Outlook

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.
