Draft Note by John Paulsen
Williams will start immediately and enjoy a receiving corps that features D.J. Moore, Keenan Allen, Rome Odunze, Cole Kmet, and D'Andre Swift. Pending good health, having Moore/Allen/Odunze as his top three options gives Williams a leg up on most rookie quarterbacks. Klassen says the Mahomes comparisons are a stretch, but names Kyler Murray as a reasonable comp. Williams isn't likely to run as much as Murray, however. My rookie quarterback model estimates 13.6 yards per game when it uses Williams' final season numbers, but when his 2022 college stats are plugged in, the model returns 19.3 rush yards per game. Obviously, the more rush yards the better for his fantasy floor, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect Murray-type numbers from Williams. The quarterback position is fairly deep heading into 2024, but if Williams acclimates quickly, it wouldn't be shocking if he posted top-12 numbers.
