Outlook Antonio Williams

Expanded Role on Deck Against Philadelphia With McLaurin Sidelined

Head coach Dan Quinn recently noted that with Terry McLaurin sidelined, Washington will look for others like rookie Antonio Williams to step up alongside Stefon Diggs. Williams has shown real promise in his first season, compiling 18 receptions for 205 yards and a score over six games, which has driven his roster rate up to 27%.

Our weekly projections anticipate 2.8 catches for 34.5 yards on 4.5 targets (7.6 PPR points) against an Eagles defense on a five-game skid. While a low 40.5 over/under may cap overall scoring volume, Williams' expanding opportunity makes him an intriguing deep-league play or speculative flex option.
