Mike Williams is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for wide receivers. Target him as a free agent add off waivers for Week 3 of the 2024 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 31% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Did you drop Mike Williams after his Week 1 no-show? Well...honestly, that was probably still the right move because you likely grabbed someone who was more immediate help, but Williams might have some value going forward.
In Week 1, Williams played just nine offensive snaps, which was 18% of New York's plays. He wasn't targeted. Allen Lazard looked like the clear No. 2 behind Garrett Wilson and then there was a sizable gap.
One of the biggest plays of the game

But in Week 2, Williams saw a lot more snaps as he was on the field for 37 plays, equating to a 65% snap share. The production didn't come along with that as he had just one catch for 19 yards on a single target, but he played much more than Xavier Gipson and Malachi Corley, who combined to play seven snaps.
Williams is a big body in the red zone who should settle into a role as the team's No. 2 receiver at some point. He's worth adding to your bench if he's out there, but you likely don't want to play him yet.
