Scouting report

LAC WR Mike Williams - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs Kansas City Chiefs

Mike Williams is set to return for the Chargers in Week 11 after not playing since Week 7. Williams has 37 grabs for 495 yards and three touchdowns this season.

The Chiefs rank 28th in aPFA to wide receivers. Assuming Williams commands something approaching his usual workload, he should be viewed as a low-end WR2 this week

LAC WR Mike Williams - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs Seattle Seahawks

Mike Williams had a very ordinary outing against the Broncos in Week 6. He saw six targets, but could only reel in two for 17 yards. Williams managed just 2.7 Half PPR points, finishing as the WR68. After six weeks, Williams is the WR26 in fantasy points per game.

Williams should be better in Week 7, but the Seahawks have not allowed wide receivers to have their way with them so far this season. They rank third in aFPA to wide outs in 2022. Treat Williams as mid-tier WR2 this week.

LAC WR Mike Williams - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Denver Broncos

Mike Williams continued his recent run of good form against the Browns in Week 5. He didn't find the end zone for the second game in a row, but he did set season highs with 10 grabs for 134 yards. Williams has 100 yards and/or a touchdown in each of his last four games. In Week 5 he clocked up 18.4 Half PPR points, making him the WR9.

On paper, Williams has a tough out in Week 6 against the Denver Broncos. The Broncos trail only the Philadelphia Eagles in aFPA to wide receivers this season with 21.2 Half PPR points allowed per game to the position. Still, if Keenan Allen is still out, Williams should see enough targets to keep him in the WR1 conversation. You should treat him as such in Week 6.

LAC WR Mike Williams - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Cleveland Browns

Like most of the Chargers players, Mike Williams came alive in Week 4 against the Houston Texans. After catching just one ball for 15 yards in Week 3, Williams reeled in seven of his season-high 11 targets for 120 yards. He did fail to score for the first time since Week 1, but he was still able to amass 15.5 Half PPR points, good for WR13 for the week.

Williams should be able to remain good in Week 5. The Browns are currently ranked No.25 in aFPA to wide receivers. With Keenan Allen's status uncertain, Williams should command a decent workload once again, and remains a solid WR2 option.

LAC WR Mike Williams - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Houston Texans

To call Mike Williams's performance in Week 3 disappointing would be engaging in gross underestimation. Williams caught just one of his six targets for 15 yards, his second game with less than 20 receiving yards in three weeks. He did find the end zone for the second game in a row, but he was only able to put up 8.0 Half PPR points, "good" for WR46. Through three weeks of the 2022 season, Williams has commanded 16.4% of the Chargers' targets but averages just 3.7 receptions for 46 yards per game. He is the WR36 for the season.

Williams should be able to jumpstart his season against the Texans in Week 4. The Texans are ranked 24th in aFPA to wide receivers through the first three weeks of the season. Still, the shaky nature of the Chargers' current passing game makes Williams a volatile option. He should be viewed as a mid-tier WR2 this week.

LAC WR Mike Williams - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. Jacksonville Jaguars

Mike Williams emerged from his slow start to the season in Week 1 with a stellar outing against the Chiefs in Week 2. He reeled in eight of his 10 targets for 113 yards and a touchdown. Williams posted 21.3 Half PPR points, good for the WR8 spot for the week, and is currently the WR23 for the year.

Keenan Allen looks like he might be able to suit up for Week 3 against the Jaguars, so it will be interesting to see how the targets are divvied up. If Allen can't go, then Williams should be viewed as a low-end WR1. But if Allen takes the field, this could see Williams fall down toward the backend of the top-24 options at wide receiver this week.

LAC WR Mike Williams - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Kansas City Chiefs

Mike Williams didn't exactly set the world alight in Week 1 of the season against the Las Vegas Raiders, but that doesn't mean it's time to panic. Williams was one of a glut of Chargers players to see four targets in Week 1. He only caught two for a miserable 10 yards, giving him a disappointing 2.0 Half PPR points. Things can only get better for Williams.

And they should start this Thursday against the Chiefs. With Keenan Allen likely to be missing, Williams should step into the WR1 chair for the Chargers and hopefully earn a few more targets, including hopefully a few end zone shots after he saw zero last week. Williams is a high-end WR2 this week.
