Lions' Jameson Williams: Slated to maintain key role
Ahead of training camp, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams and Isaac TeSlaa are projected as the Detroit Lions' starting wide receivers, Christian Boohe of SI.com reports.While St. Brown and Williams will be reprising their key pass-catching roles in 2026, TeSlaa figures to see an uptick in volume in his second pro campaign. Though St. Brown is entrenched as Detroit's clear-cut WR1, Williams will have ample opportunity in his fifth campaign as a pro to make a mark from a fantasy perspective. The 2022 first-rounder is coming off a 2025 regular-season in which he recorded career-highs in catches (65), targets (102) and receiving yards (1,117) en route to notching seven TDs in 17 games.

Lions' Jameson Williams: Six catches to close out season
Jameson Williams secured six of eight targets for 74 yards in the Detroit Lions' 19-16 win over the Bears on Sunday.Williams played second fiddle to Amon-Ra St. Brown -- who finished with an 11-139-0 line on 15 targets -- but the former managed to close out a career-best season with another solid performance. Williams finally evolved into a well-rounded No. 2 receiver during the second half of the campaign, allowing him to finish with new career highs in receptions (65) and receiving yards (1,117) while also tying a career-best figure in receiving touchdowns (seven) across 17 games. Williams should reprise his role in 2026 alongside St. Brown on the heels of back-to-back 1,000-yard campaigns.

Lions' Jameson Williams: Leads Lions in receiving yards
Jameson Williams recorded five receptions (on nine targets) for 70 yards in Sunday's 29-24 loss to the Steelers.Williams tied for second on the team with nine targets, as there was plenty of opportunity for all of Detroit's pass catchers due to Jared Goff taking to the air 54 times. Williams was quiet for much of the game, though he logged a pair of 21-yard receptions and served as the Detroit Lions' primary deep threat as they attempted a dramatic comeback late in the fourth quarter. Williams took a slight step back relative to his recent performances, but he has at least 70 receiving yards in six of eight games while also recording five touchdowns since the team's bye in Week 8.

Lions' Jameson Williams: Red-hot play continues
Jameson Williams caught seven of nine targets for 134 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-34 loss to the Rams.Williams continued his recent string of WR1 performances by nearly matching the season-best line of 7-144-1 he produced against the Packers in Week 13. The Alabama product is averaging 95.3 yards per game since Detroit's Week 8 bye, and that includes a zero-catch dud against the Giants. Amon-Ra St. Brown (13-164-2) also feasted against the Rams' secondary, proving that this passing attack can generate two fantasy stars simultaneously. Williams needs just 64 receiving yards against the Steelers next Sunday in order to reach the 1,000-yard plateau in consecutive seasons.

Lions' Jameson Williams: Season-best numbers in loss
Jameson Williams caught seven of 10 targets for 144 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 31-24 loss to the Packers. he also lost five yards on his only carry.Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) left the game in the first quarter and didn't return, pushing Williams into the WR1 role for the Detroit Lions. The fourth-year player didn't disappoint, setting new season highs in catches and receiving yards while hauling in his fourth TD in the last five games on a 22-yard toss from Jared Goff in the second quarter. Per Colton Pouncy of The Athletic, coach Dan Campbell suggested after the game that while St. Brown's ankle injury wasn't believed to be too serious he could miss a game or two, so Williams could head into a Week 14 clash with the Cowboys' shaky secondary as the clear top downfield option for Goff. On the season, Williams has delivered a 38-706-6 line on 61 targets through 12 contests.

Lions' Jameson Williams: Blanked on three targets
Jameson Williams failed to haul in any of his three targets during the Detroit Lions' 34-27 overtime loss to the Giants on Sunday.Williams logged at least four catches, six targets and a touchdown in each of his last three games prior to Week 12. However, the fourth-year wideout wasn't able to carry that momentum into Sunday's game, as Jared Goff frequently looked toward Amon-Ra St. Brown (12 targets) and Jahmyr Gibbs (11 targets) in the passing game. Williams appeared to get on the board with a 36-yard catch early in the third quarter, but it was negated by a penalty on offensive lineman Graham Glasgow. Sunday marked the second time this season that Williams did not record a catch, and he'll look to bounce back in the Lions' Thanksgiving Day game against the Packers.
