It's difficult to live off big plays while being inaccurate in the short-passing attack but not impossible. Russell Wilson proved that in Seattle. I'm still not ready to gamble that is Williams' baseline. 2025 was a special season full of special plays for the second-year starter. I would not be terribly surprised if it happened again. I also wouldn't be surprised if regression catches up to Williams and his scores fall while his turnovers spike.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Williams' 2025 big-play season unlikely to repeat; regression risk outweighs upside for fantasy.

It's difficult to live off big plays while being inaccurate in the short-passing attack but not impossible, as Russell Wilson proved in Seattle. However, the source is not ready to gamble that Williams' baseline. 2025 was a special season full of special plays for the second-year starter, but the source would not be terribly surprised if regression catches up to Williams and his scores fall while his turnovers spike. While the source believes in Williams as a franchise player, they believe in other quarterbacks more as fantasy starters.
