FFW Micro - Jameson Williams

We encourage more feedback because this is an experiment. We're flushing this out, trying to figure out if this is something we want to do like every Monday through Thursday. Maybe it's round its course already. What do you think at Paul Chargion at Tyler Knabily k n A E B l E at Tyler Knabily So you can find

us today we are breaking down Jamison Williams. Yeah, I am very excited about this breakdown, especially I think this might be I plant my flag on a couple players throughout the offseason, you know, when it's draft season and I'm really feeling like Jameson Williams is going to be the one where I am just the leader of the club, the Coals, whatever you want to call it. I will lead the charge for Jamison Williams this offseason, all right, So if that means you're gonna have to pay to

draft him. What's his ADP look like right now, coming off a season which he only had nine targets all year. Yeah, Well, as a formality, we should just mentioned that he was the wide receiver one hundred and forty four in points or game. He's going as the wide receiver thirty in Best of Ball right now, so about round five to six. And if we just really want to do a quick recap of his stats, it's pretty easy. One catch, nine targets,

forty one yards, one touchdown. Yeah, and when you score a forty one yard touchdown against the Vikings, it really doesn't count. That's like a ten yard out route for anybody against any other defense, So that kind of doesn't really count for me. He also had a long touchdown run that I think got called back on Penny the past, but yeah, it was a nice pass from Jerry Golf. I actually saw a clip of it on Twitter today. It's a good past or a bad pass, and one

for a touchdown. So I would say it's a good bas you're talking about the Vikings touchdown, No the other Okay, that one got called back. Yeah that's what it was. Okay, got it, got it. He had two drops on those nine passes. That's not a good ratio. But yeah, small sample size though, Let's give give him a little bit of a break. All right, So make your case for drafting Jamison Williams and White. You know, obviously he's gonna

better than last year. That goes without saying for sure. Yeah, it's just a matter of whether or not he's going to be good enough to make that fifth or sixth round pick worth it. For Jamison Williams, well, first off, I think he's a he's a season removed from the ACL tear now, which I really think is gonna help. I mean, he's gonna be the full athlete this time around. He's not going to be hampered by the ACL right

in this season. And when he was in a rookie like coming in last year, he was being drafted in at least in dynasty draft like London A Lave Wilson like, he was being drafted around these guys right in the real NFL draft and in dynasty leagues correct. So that's one thing I really like is the profile coming out is like fantastic. Obviously the number one thing with him speed. We didn't get to see him run the forty yard dash, but it sounds like he would have ran like in

the four twos. Like that's the reports that are coming out is like he might have ran in the four twos. And if you look at just some of these plays that he had, there's a play in college that I remember specifically, it's SEC championship game, that game where he went off against or against Georgia and he's got Keiley Ringo on him, who was supposed to be a first

round corner this year in the NFL draft. He runs a four to three six and he got Lewis scene safety over the top first was a first round pick, first round picked from last year. He runs at four three seven and he runs the starter and go, he just stops and he just accelerates right past both of them, fifty five yard touchdown. And I was like, man, that's that's NFL talent. He's just running pass right there. Yeah. It, you know, obviously performed at a very high level. When

you're playing, you're starting receiver for Alabama. You're you know, you're going to have a lot of opportunity like that, and you're automatically and fairly special talent. I don't care about the four two speed. If I as you to name four two speed guys who have had meaningful NFL careers, there aren't many. I mean, that's not you know, that's not to me. That is not the definition of what makes you a good NFL player is having track star level speed. You just need to have good enough speed

justin Jefferson's a four to five guy. Yeah, you know, I'm glad you bring that up, because the one thing that I feel this is the perception about Jamison Williams right now. I think people think that he's just fast, and he's not just fast. He has a whole another kind of production profile in his game like that that season Alabama. So I mean, he ran go routes on just ten percent and two percent of his routes routes in college, the slant curl where his most run routes

at twenty and eighteen percent. The go route was his sixth most ran route, all right, So it wasn't just straight. So he's not just runs straight he's not like Henry Ruggs, who I kind of feel like it's kind of the comparisontime right now, and if you look at it, he had more yards, touchdowns, and catches than these three players. About the name, Okay, Jerry Judy in twenty eighteen when he won the Bullinting Cough Award. Okay, at Alabama off, yep, yep,

Jalen Waddle didn't even come close. Henry Ruggs didn't even come close to his productivity. It was probably Jamis Williams. Okay, So here just this you're talking about like last in the last year, they're best seasons at Alabama. They're best seasons. Okay, got it. So here's the thing. When you compare Jamison Williams, I feel like his comparison is mostly to like a Rugs or a Waddle. It's just really fast guys who can take the top off the defense. That's what they

were known for when they're coming out of Alabama. Here are like kind of their stat they're best seasons at Alabama, like some of their just the stats. So Jane Waddle's best season forty five catches, eight hundred forty eight yards, seven touchdowns, Henry Ruggs is best season forty six catches, seven hundred forty one yards, eleven touchdown. Right, so very similar. They're both about forty five receptions, about eight hundred yards

and called eight or nine touchdowns. Jamie Williams the best season last season Alabama seventy nine catches, fifteen hundred yards, fifteen touchdowns. That's like, you know, not quite double. Yes, oh yeah, productivities on a whole other level for Jamison Williams. Yes. I guess the one argument that some people, some people might make is Waddle was. I mean he was next

to DeVante Smith for a lot of his career. Henry Ruggs, I mean, they were a lot of these trios were at Alabama during that time when you had you had Judy, had Ruggs, you had Waddles Smith. All those guys were in the same room. So that could be an argument. But I mean Williams had John Metsi, who was a think third round draft pick coming out, and he had some players. And I mean that's why I like Bryce

Young this year because that connects. I hope Fryce Young somehow links up in like the Lions trade up or something that it's not happening. But I don't think that's happening anyways. I just I think it's worth noting that he's not just a fast guy. This is a guy who can run. He'say, his route tree's very wide. He can run a wide variety of routes. So I just feel like I need to get that off my chest personally, because I keeps seeing he's just fast. He's just fast,

and he's not just fast. There's a lot more to his game than just that. All Right, So let's talk about Jamison Williams in terms of now his Lions situation. We've spent a lot of time in Alabama. Let's talk about a situation now DJ Chark's gone that opens up really a starting spot for him to be on the field all the time. I'm on, Ross Saint Brown's great, He's gonna have to and I'm on Ross Saint Brown

will still lead the team and targets and receptions. I think if they're assuming he stays healthy all year, I believe. Tell me, what, what how you feel about Jamison Williams situation with Detroit. His situation, I mean, it feels like it's great because he's gonna be at that X receiver spot. He lined up there at the X seventy two percent of snaps at Alabama at wide, so he's used to being on the outside. I'm Monroe is gonna be primarily spot exactly. And the Lions were the fifth highest scoring

offense in twenty twenty two. We can honestly see that even go up, like they should unlock another level I think this year, and I think we could seem kind of be that Brandon Cook's Brandon Cook's role with Jared Goff, that when he Brandon Cooks was on the rams. Yeah, Cooks finishes the wide receiver thirteen twelve hundred yards in most yards he's ever had in his career with Jared Goff, So it's like it's not like Jaredoff can't throw deep or anything like that. I think this that could be.

I think Jamison Williams could be like DJHRK, but Jamison Williams like five times better. Yeah. Well, look, I think people are more optimistic about Jared Goff as a passer right now than at any point in his career, which is crazy to say because he had McVeigh they went to the Super Bowl, But right now it's like, oh,

Ben Johnson's like the new McVeagh. That's right. And you know, in that Super Bowl year, it was all about winning in spite of Jared Goff and they didn't even let him pass in the Super Bowl, Right, But Jared Goff came off of an awfully productive season, and I feel like people are very optimistic that Jared Goff's arm can motor that offense. Yeah, probably can. All right, so let's talk about some of the wide receivers that are going near Jamison Williams in drafts, Keenan Allen, Who would you

rather have. I'll take Keenan Allen just for now, just because I know what I'm gonna get. I feel like he had a bit of a down year, so this is very much so. Yeah, So you're the question is is this the beginning of the end for Keenan? That's the question. I think he can kind of be like that Larry Fitzgerald role where he's in the slot a little bit, just kind of short route stuff. I mean, he's not like speed has never been the name of his I'm not really worried about like his speed profile.

Terry McLaurin, I'll take I'll take Jamison Williams on that it's Terry. It's just every every single year it's this is, this is the year, this is. But I'm gonna take a shot on Jamison Williams. I would too. I think I would. I think I would as well, Um, because McLaren, you know what you're gonna get. It's like seventy yards and a third of a touchdown every game. Yeah, yeah, I think I'd rather go for the I'd rather go

for the home run ball. Uh, Chris Godwin with Baker Mayfield, Williams okay, Tyler Lockett, Jameson Williams Okay, all right, well those are I mean, you know, you're I think you're You're probably higher on Jamison Williams the most people are. But you've sold me to no small degree here because and I think I'm a little bit tainted by the forty one yard touchdown that he had against the Vikings. That was a go route style touchdown where he just

ran past the Vikings and and uh, you've done. I think you've done a good job of making me feel like he's a more complete receiver than I had in my mind. I'll save you a spot on the discord when we uh, when I start up with Jamison Williams. Thanklo, all right, that's a deal. Thanks for listening to Fantasy Football Weekly Micro edition.
