BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~120 Overall
CURRENT ADP: 150+
ANALYSIS: Before we dive in, it should be noted that Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (shoulder) is currently dealing with an injury, and was initially expected to miss two to four weeks with a shoulder injury. Williams was initially listed as week-to-week with his shoulder sprain, and at risk to miss at least Week One. But recent reports are more optimistic and projecting Williams to play at the start of the season.
This type of situation can lead to a value pick in fantasy drafts. Currently slipping on draft boards, Williams presents a potentially overlooked cheap draft option if he can come back within the first 1-3 weeks of the NFL season. If things go right, he has WR3 appeal with unlikely but possible WR2 upside. With an ADP of 150+, that's a potential diamond in the rough and nice return on investment.
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams will enter the 2020 season with a new quarterback for the first time in his career. Williams has played with Philip Rivers since being drafted seventh overall in the 2017 draft. This season, he'll play with Tyrod Taylor and likely Justin Herbert under center. That could actually be a great thing for Williams, who has averaged 9.8 yards per target over the past three seasons, sixth most in the NFL.
Taylor and Herbert should both offer more deep ball upside than Rivers did over the past few seasons, making 2020 a possible splash year for Williams. Keenan Allen will remain in his role as the featured receiver in the Chargers passing game, and Hunter Henry and Austin Ekeler will demand targets as well, but Williams has strong WR3/WR2 upside and is an even better bet in best ball formats, where his splash weeks won't have to be predicted in advance
