Sam LaPorta's health did a lot of the heavy lifting last season. With LaPorta on the field, Williams' role shrank to a modest 4.3 targets and 10.2 PPR points per game. Once LaPorta went down, that number jumped to 7.9 targets and 18.4 points.

Williams' 2025 production relied on LaPorta injury; fade at ADP 60.2.

Williams posted 65 catches for 1,117 yards and seven touchdowns in 2025, earning a draft bump, but his production relied heavily on Sam LaPorta's injury. With LaPorta healthy, Williams averaged just 4.3 targets and 10.2 PPR points per game; when LaPorta went down, that jumped to 7.9 targets and 18.4 points. Williams also posted a drop rate among the worst of any starting wide receiver in 2025, and Detroit's offensive line weakened when left tackle Taylor Decker retired, which could limit the deep shots that fuel his ceiling. Jim Coventry argues both of his big seasons had an outside factor propping them up—either a defense in freefall or an injury to the player ahead of him—and he's being drafted as if that production was entirely his own doing. Fade Williams at ADP 60.2.
