2025 Fantasy Outlook
Williams heads to New England as the 69th overall pick after a college career with five consecutive seasons of more than 400 yards, including receiving lines of 61-843-6 (2023) and 70-1,198-14 (2024) after transferring to Washington State. Unlike most five-year contributors, he's not especially old for his draft class, having first played at UNLV when he was just 17 years old. Williams proved his speed with a 4.40 at this year's combine, although his jumps (36.5-inch vertical, 119-inch broad jump) hint at merely average athleticism for a 5-foot-11, 190-pound wideout. In New England, he'll have a chance to immediately become QB Drake Maye's top deep threat -- a role 2023 sixth-round pick Kayshon Boutte handled with mixed results last year. The Patriots' top targets otherwise are 31-year-old Stefon Diggs (rehabbing an ACL tear), slot receiver DeMario Douglas and tight end Hunter Henry, which means there are plenty of downfield targets for the taking in an offense with a strong-armed, aggressive QB.

RANKS
Signed a four-year, $6.7 million contract with the Patriots in May of 2025.
Makes most of one target
Williams recorded one catch (on one target) for 33 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 33-15 win over the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Williams was not prioritized in the Patriots offense, logging the fewest targets of eight players to hit the stat sheet Monday night. However, he made his one look count, hauling in a touchdown on an over-the-shoulder grab with excellent ball placement from Drake Maye. Williams has seen one or fewer targets in 10 games this season, though he's emerged as a downfield threat in recent weeks.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Fifth on depth chart
Williams is fifth on the Patriots' unofficial wide receiver depth chart heading into the season, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com.
ANALYSIS
Williams was expected to contend for a prominent role early on given the lack of established talent in New England's receiving corps behind Stefon Diggs, who was working his way back from a torn ACL. Instead, the rookie third-round pick is behind Diggs, who has been cleared to suit up against the Raiders in Week 1, as well as DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte and Mack Hollins in the team's pecking order at wide receiver heading into the regular season.
