Mike Williams Not Expected To Face Raiders
4 years agoLos Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (hamstring), who is questionable for Thursday night against the division-rival Raiders, is not expected to play, according to sources. Williams was injured in the Week 14 win over the Falcons and won't be ready to go on the short week. Keenan Allen (hamstring) will likely be limited if he even plays, which means that Tyron Johnson and Jalen Guyton should have expanded roles in the passing game against Las Vegas. If both Allen and Williams are out, it also lowers the fantasy ceiling for rookie quarterback Justin Herbert. Johnson caught a season-high six passes for 55 yards and his second touchdown of the season with Williams hurt last week. He'll be a sneaky deep-league sleeper against a beat up and porous Raiders defense.
