Williams' route tree shift to boundary limits explosiveness despite strong Lions offense.

Williams has underperformed preseason expectations despite Detroit's defense turning the Lions into a strong offensive environment. His target rate on in-breaking routes collapsed from 47.1% in 2025 to 16.0% in 2026, while out-breaking routes jumped from 12.7% to 44.0%, indicating a significant role change toward boundary routes. Combined with drops and reduced yards after catch per reception, the route adjustment limits explosive play potential and requires time to adapt.
