Antonio Williams vs. Rams — Emerging Role Offers Sneaky Deep-League Appeal

With Terry McLaurin sidelined, head coach Dan Quinn noted that Washington will look toward Antonio Williams to take on more responsibility in the passing game. The rookie has capitalized on expanded looks, turning seven targets into five receptions for 54 yards in his last outing.

Facing the Rams as 5.5-point home underdogs in a projected high-scoring environment, Washington may find itself in a pass-heavy script. Our weekly projections slate Williams for roughly 3.1 receptions and 36 receiving yards (8.0 fantasy points), making him an intriguing flex option in deeper formats as his roster rate climbs above 40%.

Gardner Minshew at Seattle: Takes the Reins in Tough Division Matchup

Gardner Minshew was officially named the starting quarterback heading into Week 9 after providing an immediate spark off the bench against Dallas, tossing 188 yards and three touchdowns. However, his first start comes in a hostile road environment at Lumen Field with light rain, breezy conditions, and a depleted backfield missing Jeremiyah Love.

With Arizona listed as a heavy road underdog, game script could prompt elevated passing volume, but our models project a modest 195 passing yards and 1.2 touchdowns (12.0 fantasy points). Rostered in just 2% of leagues, Minshew is best viewed as a bench option in standard formats and merely a desperation streamer in 2QB setups.
