From the article

Antonio Williams had a better day than the box score shows. His 87-yd negated TD was elite. There haven't been that many guys in B&G with the strength (Garcon) and speed (Moss) who could score on that play over the years. Got 41 snaps and ran 30 routes without Terry playing.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Williams' 41 snaps and 30 routes show role depth; expect drops when McLaurin returns.

Williams earned 41 snaps and ran 30 routes without Terry McLaurin in the lineup, demonstrating inside-outside versatility and continued target opportunity. The source notes his negated 87-yard TD was elite-level athleticism (strength and speed comparable to Garcon and Moss historically), and projects he should continue seeing targets down the stretch from Week 12 onward when Commanders receivers face the easiest strength of schedule into the fantasy playoffs. However, Williams will likely be dropped once McLaurin returns as early as Week 5, and again during the Commanders' Week 7 bye when many fantasy managers will cut him.
