Footballguys on Antonio Williams

Williams projects as slot WR with upside to inherit Deebo Samuel's vacated role.

Williams is a rookie slot WR competing for the WR2 role behind Terry McLaurin in Washington. Competition is minimal (Luke McCaffrey, Treylon Burks, Jaylin Lane). Williams ran 93% of his routes from the slot in college and is a reliable hands receiver who can move the chains but lacks explosion or big-play ability. This battle is significant because whoever wins the slot WR role will inherit the role vacated by Deebo Samuel Sr. The Commanders are the fourth team with the highest percentage of vacant WR targets relative to last season (52.4%), creating substantial volume to distribute.
