Kyle Williams

Williams turned heads in the pre-draft process with his 4.40 speed and ability to generate yards after the catch. He backed it up with strong advanced metrics—he ranked 16th in yards per route run and 6th in YAC per reception—suggesting he can create on his own, not just capitalize on schemed touches. Matt Harmon of Reception Perception praised his “multi-layered separation skills with explosive potential as a YAC threat,” reinforcing the idea that Williams can win in multiple ways. He was a third-round pick, and while Day 2 receivers aren't guaranteed volume, there's a track record of success: the four third-rounders since 2010 who started at least 11 games as rookies averaged 50 catches for 711 yards and nearly six touchdowns—WR4 production. If Williams carves out a role early, he could reach that benchmark. At 5’11”, 190 pounds, Williams profiles as a versatile slot/outside option, and his main target competition—an aging Stefon Diggs and the undersized Demario Douglas—doesn’t present an insurmountable hurdle. If he starts the season in three-WR sets, he’ll be on the fantasy radar as a late-round flier with upside.
