Mike Williams produced another solid stat line last week, finishing with eight receptions for 83 yards.

However, fantasy football managers want more and are clamoring for a classic Mike Will boom week.

After putting up an average of 12.6 fantasy points per game in his first two contests, is Williams a locked-in starter for your fantasy team? Let's take a look.

Mike Williams Fantasy Football Outlook

Following a disappointing Week 1, the seventh-year veteran got back on track, earning 13 targets on a whopping 33% target share in Week 2 against the Titans. Despite these wonderful metrics, he was unable to find the end zone and has yet to produce a monster fantasy week. On the season, Williams has a 25% target share and 2.10 Yards Per Route Run (YPRR), which would have been top 24 in the 2022 season.

The Clemson product is earning more targets than ever in his career and is primed to have an impactful week soon. Since he has yet to score, he remains a great buy-low target in redraft leagues.
