From the article

I think the player most Commanders fans would point to is rookie WR and 3rd-round pick Antonio Williams. He's shown tremendous route-running nuance and short-area quickness to get open in the middle field and has been a consistent target getter, with 23 catches for 259 yards so far this season. Those simple stats don't rely do credit to his ability though, as he's generated a 96.7 passer rating when targeted and is PFF's second-highest graded rookie receiver. Dan Quinn made clear that with the loss of Terry McLaurin, he expects Antonio Williams' role to increase the most and indeed Williams led all receivers in snaps and routes last week against the Eagles.

Rookie WR and 3rd-round pick Antonio Williams is the primary skill player Washington fans can look forward to watching; he has shown tremendous route-running nuance and short-area quickness to get open in the middle field and has been a consistent target getter with 23 catches for 259 yards so far this season. He has generated a 96.7 passer rating when targeted and is PFF's second-highest graded rookie receiver.
