Lions' Jameson Williams: Disappears in Week 7 win
Jameson Williams brought in his only target for minus-4 yards in the Detroit Lions' 31-29 win over the Vikings on Sunday.Williams' final line tells the tale of how forgettable his afternoon was in every sense. The third-year wideout had come into the division clash with a two-game touchdown streak and at least 76 receiving yards in four of his first five games of the season, but Sunday marked his second one-reception tally of the campaign. Williams' speed makes him a candidate to bounce back in noteworthy fashion on any given week, however, with a home matchup against the Titans next Sunday his first opportunity to erase the memory of his season-worst outing.

Lions' Jameson Williams: Makes long touchdown grab
Jameson Williams recorded three receptions on four targets for 76 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 47-9 win over the Cowboys. He added one rush for 11 yards.The Detroit Lions had relatively flat target distribution in Sunday's blowout win, with Kalif Raymond surprisingly leading the way with six looks. Though Williams has now seen only nine targets combined across his last three games, he continues to deliver electric plays. Against the Cowboys, that came early in the third quarter on a 37-yard touchdown during which Williams beat Trevon Diggs to the corner of the end zone to haul in a deep pass. Williams' profile suggests he should be a boom-or-bust option, but he has at least 75 receiving yards in four of five games on the campaign.

Lions' Jameson Williams: Electric touchdown grab Monday
Jameson Williams brought in both targets for 80 yards and a touchdown in the Detroit Lions' 42-29 win over the Seahawks on Monday night.Williams appeared on his way to another disappointing performance after a one-catch dud against the Cardinals in Week 3, but he ripped off a 70-yard catch-and-run for a critical touchdown late in the third quarter Monday night. Williams now has three 70-yard-plus performances over the first four games of the season, but after drawing a combined 20 targets over the first pair of contests, he's logged just five in the subsequent two games. Williams will remain a somewhat big-play-dependent option when the Lions return to action against the Cowboys in a Week 6 road battle Sunday, Oct. 13 following a Week 5 bye.

Lions' Jameson Williams: Cools off in Week 3 win
Jameson Williams caught one of three targets for nine yards and rushed once for minus-7 yards in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Cardinals.Williams came crashing back down to earth after racking up 228 scrimmage yards through two games. The speedster's a big-play threat any time he gets the ball in his hands, but Williams' touch floor is much lower than those of wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown or the backfield duo of Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery. Williams will look to bounce back on the national stage next week, when the Detroit Lions host the Seahawks on MNF.

Lions' Jameson Williams: Good to go for Week 2
Jameson Williams (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.Williams took a questionable tag into the weekend after he was a limited participant in all three of the Detroit Lions' practices this week due to an ankle injury. The Lions apparently saw enough from Williams in those practices to sign off on his availability for the Week 2 matchup, and with no reports that he'll be facing any restrictions Sunday, he should take on a sizable snap share as one of the Lions' starting receivers. The third-year wideout is coming off a breakthrough Week 1 outing against the Rams in which he produced a 5-121-1 receiving line on nine targets while taking his lone carry for 13 yards.
