Savion Williams vs CAR — Gadget Role Keeps Him on Deep-League Radars

Williams has quickly integrated into Green Bay's offense since returning from injured reserve, catching all seven targets for 79 yards and adding four rushes over his past two contests. With Jayden Reed and Skyy Moore both sidelined on injured reserve, Matt LaFleur has leaned on Williams for manufactured slot touches and horizontal concepts.

While his creative usage is encouraging, it has not yet translated into steady fantasy viability. Our weekly projection anticipates Williams posting around two catches for 18 yards and roughly 4.8 fantasy points against Carolina. Sitting at just two percent rostered, he is best left on the bench in standard leagues until his route participation expands.
