LAC WR Tyrell Williams - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Miami Dolphins

Tyrell Williams only managed 4 receptions for 32 yards against Denver last season. Last week he put up a respectable 5-54-0 against that tough secondary. Consider Williams a FLEX option in Week 2 against a Dolphins defense that allowed the eighth-most PPR points to fantasy WRs last season, but not much more than that, as the Chargers are a home favorite against a team displaced by a hurricane. This could be a run-heavy game script in the second half.

LAC WR Tyrell Williams - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Denver Broncos

Tyrell Williams had a fine rookie season last year, but that did not include his two games against Denver, where he managed only 4 receptions for 32 yards. That's it. It would also be foolish to not acknowledge he's facing a secondary that was first in PPR points allowed to receivers last season, with 11 games of not allowing a wide receiver touchdown and only once allowing more than one (on the road against Drew Brees and the Saints). You may have drafted Williams to be a flex candidate, but this is not the week to roll with him in your starting lineup.

LAC WR Tyrell Williams - 2017 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

The 6-foot-4 Tyrell Williams grew into Philip Rivers' most potent wideout threat in Keenan Allen's absence last season. The undrafted free agent led the Chargers with 69 receptions, 1,059 yards and earned 7 TD catches. Williams became just the 15th Chargers receiver ever to breach the 1,000-yard mark. Williams' size and speed combination gives him the advantage on the edge. With Allen's precise route running on intermediate throws requiring defensive attention, Williams and Rivers should continue to connect deep this season.

Fantasy Downside

With Allen's recovery from last season's torn ACL on track, Williams could see his share of targets cut down. But with first-round pick Mike Williams expected to miss the entire summer due to a back injury, those concerns might be misplaced.

2017 Bottom Line

With a reasonable ADP (WR50), Williams is set up to provide great value for fantasy owners who can see past the arrival of Mike Williams, something made easier by the rookie's training camp absence.

SD WR Tyrell Williams - Week 17, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Kansas City
Tyrell Williams got back on the scoreboard last week. He collected four catches for 64 yards and a TD on nine targets. It was his first TD in a couple of games and he now has seven on the season - a pretty impressive total for someone not on the fantasy radar until Keenan Allen went down.

Williams is ranked 19th this week on our WR list. The Chiefs are 14th in allowing fantasy points to WRs, so it's just an average matchup. Williams is just 11 yards shy of 1,000 for the season, so he certainly has some motivation in this contest and this would be a pretty impressive accomplishment. He's a solid WR2 play this week.

SD WR Tyrell Williams - Week 16, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Cleveland
Tyrell Williams had just four catches for 20 yards on nine targets last week. He took a very hard hit in the game and missed some time getting evaluated for a concussion. Williams did return to the game and should be good for this week.

Williams is ranked 16th on our rankings list this week at WR. He gets a great matchup against the Browns, who are 24th in allowing fantasy points to WRs. We see Williams as a solid WR2 option, as the Bolts could once again be without stud RB Melvin Gordon on the road. Williams has only six catches for 88 yards in his last two games combined, but is still a top target for QB Philip Rivers.

SD WR Tyrell Williams - Week 15, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Oakland
Tyrell Williams caught two balls for 68 yards on five targets last week.

From Weeks 7-12, Williams averaged over five catches a game in that span, but over his last two weeks, he has just two catches in each contest. Williams' targets are also down. e was averaging over nine a game from Weeks 7-12, but that's now down to 4.5 over his last two games. He is also dealing with a shoulder injury.

Williams is ranked 17th this week on our WR list, making him a solid WR2 play against the Raiders (who are 12th in allowing fantasy points to WRs). The injury to RB Melvin Gordon could result in more of a passing attack, but Williams comes with risks, based on his lack of targets and catches the last two games.

SD WR Tyrell Williams - Week 14, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Carolina
Tyrell Williams didn't get a lot of action last week, but did catch a TD pass for the fourth straight week. Williams caught just two balls for 47 yards on two targets. His TD gave him six for the season.

Williams has been on a nice pace as of late, and gets a pretty favorable matchup this week, as the Panthers are 31st in allowing fantasy points to WRs. Williams, as a result, is a borderline WR1 play coming in 14th on our WR list. Williams continues to battle a shoulder injury, and his decrease in targets and catches shouldn't go unnoticed. But we have enough confidence in him to make him a high-end WR2 this week.
