Jameson Williams 2025 Fantasy Preview
2024: After a rocky two years to start his career, Williams started to put it all together in 2024, topping 1,000 yards for the first time on the back of three games with over 125 yards from scrimmage. Jamo averaged 17.3 yards per catch and 11 yards per target, good for second and sixth in the league respectively. The next step for Williams is an increase in volume. He ranked outside the top 40 receivers in target share and beyond the top 60 in targets per route.
What’s changed: The Lions’ staff was gutted in the offseason, highlighted by the departure of OC Ben Johnson for Chicago. While losing Johnson is a net negative for the offense, it may work out in Williams’ favor. The team has been effusive in their praise of Jamo this offseason, with new OC John Morton saying 2025 is going to be a breakout year for the young wideout. Dan Campbell has also spoken highly of the fourth-year receiver.
Outlook: If you simply take all of the praise at face value, you might be inclined to start dreaming of Williams as the Lions’ WR1. Back in reality, it’s going to be hard for his role to grow without Amon-Ra St. Brown‘s shrinking. As a former first-round pick coming off his first 1,000-yard campaign, he could take a big step this year, but fantasy managers are already pricing that in with a low-end WR2 cost.
