In 2025, Jameson Williams is poised for a breakout season with the Detroit Lions. Analysts project him to achieve 58 receptions, 1,001 yards, and 7 touchdowns over 15 games, with potential upside reaching 70 catches, 1,250+ yards, and 10 touchdowns due to his dynamic role and explosive playmaking ability.
Williams' versatility is highlighted by his increased slot usage, matching Amon-Ra St. Brown in snaps, and his ability to exploit mismatches across the field. His role includes both screen/quick game and deep threats, evidenced by his team-leading 11.3 air yards per target and a target rate of nearly 20% of routes run.
Under the guidance of new offensive coordinator John Morton, the Lions maintain a pass-leaning scheme that suits Williams' skill set. With Jared Goff returning as quarterback and a solid offensive line, Williams is positioned as the No. 2 receiver, sharing targets with St. Brown and Sam LaPorta.
In fantasy football, Williams is a high-upside WR2, drafted in the sixth round as WR27, making him a valuable asset with "league-winning" potential. His age-adjusted efficiency and expanding role elevate his dynasty value, placing him above players like Jaylen Waddle.
