Williams's 4/64/1 per-route efficiency may force increased role despite limited Week 1 snaps.

The third-round rookie had an up-and-down training camp but the Commanders gave him their vote of confidence in Week 1 by making Treylon Burks and Luke McCaffrey healthy scratches. Williams was behind Dyami Brown on the depth chart and ran just 11 routes, but was electric on a per-route basis, posting a 4/64/1 receiving line. The source says the routes were too limited to allow Williams into fantasy lineups for Week 2, but his play may force the team to get him on the field more in a hurry.
