Chargers' Mike Williams: Teaming up with Herbert again
Mike Williams agreed Wednesday with the Los Angeles Chargers on a one-year contract worth up to $6 million, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.Williams was selected by the Chargers in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft and spent his first seven professional seasons with the organization, topping out at 76 catches for 1,146 yards and nine touchdowns during a career-best 2021 campaign. The Clemson product moved on to the Jets last offseason but struggled to produce and was traded to the Steelers in early November. Between his stints with the two clubs, Williams tallied a modest 21 catches on 34 targets for 298 yards and one touchdown over 18 games during the regular season. With his return to Los Angeles, Williams will team up with a familiar quarterback in Justin Herbert, and he should have a decent-sized role as the team's No. 2 or No. 3 receiver behind Ladd McConkey.

Steelers' Mike Williams: Scores once across 18 appearances
Mike Williams hauled in nine of 13 targets for 132 yards and one touchdown across nine regular-season appearances with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He also posted a 12-166-0 receiving line on 21 targets in nine games with the Jets.Williams also had one 37-yard catch (on two targets) in the Steelers' wild-card round loss to Baltimore. The 30-year-old wideout failed to emerge as a reliable contributor in either New York, where he kicked off the 2024 campaign, or Pittsburgh, who acquired him via trade in early November in exchange for a 2025 fifth-round pick. Now set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, Williams will hope to find a landing spot in free agency where he'll get a chance to prove himself as a potential starting option.

Steelers' Mike Williams: Held without catch Wednesday
Mike Williams failed to secure either of his two targets during Wednesday's 29-10 loss to Kansas City.Williams had racked up double-digit yards in each of the last three games, but his production took a step back on Christmas Day since George Pickens (hamstring) was back in action. Williams hasn't been a reliable contributor over his eight appearances with the Pittsburgh Steelers this year, securing eight of 12 targets for 107 yards and a touchdown. Now that Pickens is healthy, Williams' upside for next week's regular-season finale against the Bengals is limited.

Steelers' Mike Williams: Racks up 24 yards in loss
Mike Williams secured all three of his targets for 24 yards during Saturday's 34-17 loss to Baltimore.Williams continued to see a slightly increased role Saturday since George Pickens (hamstring) was sidelined for a third consecutive game. Williams has racked up double-digit receiving yards in each of the last three matchups, securing seven of nine targets for 75 yards during that time. His fantasy value remains limited, and his role could decrease next week since head coach Mike Tomlin has said that Pickens has a "real chance" to play against Kansas City.

Steelers' Mike Williams: One grab in Week 15
Mike Williams caught one of his two targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Eagles.Williams continues to struggle to take a step forward in Pittsburgh's passing attack since joining the team in Week 10. The veteran wideout played just 15 of the Pittsburgh Steelers' 43 offensive snaps, behind fellow wide receivers Calvin Austin (35) and Van Jefferson (35). Despite No. 1 wideout George Pickens (hamstring) missing his second straight game, Williams was mostly an afterthought in the offensive scheme. The 30-year-old will look to bounce back in Week 16 when the Steelers visit the Ravens.

Steelers' Mike Williams: Elevated volume possible Sunday
Mike Williams is in line for an expanded role in Sunday's Week 15 matchup against the Eagles with George Pickens (hamstring) inactive for the contest.Playing without Pickens in Week 14 against the Browns, Williams resurfaced in the Pittsburgh Steelers' air attack, albeit modestly, with a 3-36-0 line on four targets. However, that represented a significant uptick in involvement for the veteran trade-deadline acquisition, whose only reception in a Steelers uniform prior to that game had been a 32-yard touchdown catch in his Week 10 team debut against the Commanders. Williams again will have added opportunities for targets Sunday, although those will come versus a talented Philadelphia secondary that's allowed an NFC-low 178.5 passing yards per game.

Steelers' Mike Williams: Moderate increase in role
Mike Williams recorded three receptions on four targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 27-14 win over the Browns.The Pittsburgh Steelers had limited pass volume, with Russell Wilson taking to the air only 26 times. Even with an expanded role in the absence of George Pickens (groin), that led to a modest stat line for Williams. Nevertheless, it was his best usage as a Steeler, and he finished tied for second on the team in targets. Even with some slight reason for optimism, it's difficult to trust that Williams will post a meaningful stat line heading into a Week 15 matchup against the Eagles.

Steelers' Mike Williams: No targets in Week 13
Mike Williams wasn't targeted during Sunday's 44-38 win over Cincinnati.Williams recorded a 32-yard reception during his Pittsburgh Steelers debut against Washington in Week 10, but he hasn't been targeted over three games since then. It's especially discouraging that Williams was held without a target during Sunday's high-scoring victory in which Russell Wilson tallied a season-high 414 passing yards. Williams seems unlikely to be a consistent fantasy option late in the regular season given his lack of work in recent weeks.

Steelers' Mike Williams: Not targeted against Baltimore
Mike Williams wasn't targeted during Sunday's 18-16 win over the Ravens.Although Williams saw a slight increase in playing time during his second game with his new team, he didn't draw any targets in the narrow win. The 30-year-old reached the end zone late in his Pittsburgh Steelers debut last week, and he'll look to bounce back Thursday against Cleveland as he continues to compete for a role in Pittsburgh's offense.

Steelers' Mike Williams: Reaches end zone in team debut
Mike Williams secured his lone target for a 32-yard touchdown during Sunday's 28-27 win over the Commanders.Williams was on the field for just nine offensive snaps during his first game in a Pittsburgh Steelers uniform, but he made his presence felt by securing a go-ahead touchdown with 2:22 remaining in the fourth quarter. It was the first time he'd reached the end zone this season, after being shut out in nine games for the Jets, and his volume with the Steelers figures to grow as he gets more familiar with the playbook.
