Jameson Williams 2026 Fantasy Football Outlook: Boom/Bust WR2 Option Still Searching for Week-to-Week Consistency
Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams got off to a slow start to the 2025 season, recording just 17 receptions for 289 yards and two touchdowns on 30 targets through the first eight weeks of the year. However, the 25-year-old's production picked up in a big way in the second half, and he finished the year with 65 catches for 1,117 yards and seven touchdowns on 102 targets across 17 games. The shift in Williams' fortunes largely coincided with a season-ending back injury for Lions tight end Sam LaPorta (back), who missed Detroit's final eight games. LaPorta is expected to be ready for the start of the 2026 season, which could impact Williams' target volume outlook. When the Lions have LaPorta, wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, and running back Jahmyr Gibbs available, the team has traditionally utilized Williams in a downfield role. While his big-play ability gives him monster upside, Williams is also liable to finish fourth on his team in targets in any given week. Williams profiles as a boom/bust WR2 for fantasy managers heading into 2026.
