Williams recorded just two receptions on four targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 24-19 win over the Raiders.
One would have figured Keenan Allen leaving early due to a hamstring injury would have set the stage for a big day from the 27-year-old Williams, but those who followed the up-and-down roller coaster of the Williams' 2021 season shouldn't have been surprised by Sunday's outcome. Instead Allen's absence meant a pass-catcher-by-committee approach, as no one from the Chargers saw more than four targets. Expect Williams to be a larger focus if Allen misses additional time, with the likes of DeAndre Carter and Joshua Palmer operating as second-tier options.
