All Fantasy Football Happy Hour with Matthew Berry insights about Antonio Williams
PositiveRoleOct 26, 2026
Antonio Williams will have a bigger role in the Washington Commanders passing game with Terry McLaurin now out for the season; the Commanders can't run the ball and will have to throw more, creating opportunity for Williams.PositiveSleeperOct 21, 2026
Matthew Berry mentions Antonio Williams as another wide receiver candidate with better potential opportunity than Jalen Noel, citing him as a topic discussed earlier in the show and positioning him as a preferable target for increased role.PositiveRoleOct 21, 2026
Williams is expected to see a much bigger role moving forward; he plays mostly slot with some outside snaps, benefits from Jaden Daniels' quick-release passing style due to offensive line issues, and has demonstrated strong yards-after-catch ability.PositiveSleeperOct 21, 2026
Available in 94% of Yahoo leagues; Matthew Berry targets him as a grab-and-stash option with WR3/4 floor and weekly WR2/3 upside given Commanders' weak defense forcing volume and McLaurin's absence creating opportunity.PositiveValueOct 20, 2026
Antonio Williams is ranked second on Matthew Berry's top receiver waiver wire targets for the week, behind Omar Cooper Jr. but ahead of Jacoby Lane, Keenan Allen, and DeMario Douglas.PositiveValueOct 20, 2026
Matthew Berry ranks Antonio Williams ahead of Jacoby Lane in the pecking order of receivers to pick up this week, though notes that Antonio Williams will be on bye next week for the Commanders, so he shouldn't be started next week.PositiveRoleOct 20, 2026
With Terry McLaurin out, Williams is moving from a slot receiver role to playing on the outside and working more down the field; Matthew Berry identifies him as the top beneficiary of McLaurin's absence and recommends him as one of the top waiver wire claims this week. Berry projects Williams into wide receiver four territory but notes he could reach wide receiver three or even two status rest of season; Williams had the most receiving yards in Clemson program history and was considered a second-round talent despite going third overall.PositiveRoleOct 20, 2026
Antonio Williams, the Commanders' third-round pick from Clemson, becomes the primary beneficiary of Terry McLaurin's season-ending injury. While Williams is typically thought of as an underneath slot receiver in the mold of Stefan Diggs, he demonstrated versatility in the game where McLaurin was out, playing on the outside and working more down the field. This suggests he could expand his role beyond the slot in the absence of McLaurin.PositiveRoleOct 13, 2026
Antonio Williams is expected to be the wide receiver two in Washington; if Stefan Diggs misses another game, Williams will see increased opportunities, though Washington will be trailing against the Niners this week.PositiveBreakoutOct 8, 2026
Second on team in targets and percentage of routes run last week; had a long touchdown called back by penalties (holding and illegal shift). Matthew Berry expects 'the Antonio Williams breakout game is coming' and it might be Week 5 against Giants, especially if McLaurin and/or Diggs miss.PositiveBreakoutSep 23, 2026
Antonio Williams is characterized by Matthew Berry as an emerging playmaker who is not getting a ton of usage right now but will still steal opportunities from Terry McLaurin. He represents a role threat to McLaurin's target share.NegativeRoleAug 6, 2026
The addition of Stefon Diggs significantly hurts Antonio Williams' immediate fantasy outlook. Connor Rogers suggests Williams is now strictly a dynasty stash, as his path to rookie production is blocked for at least this season.
