All Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz insights about Jameson Williams
PositiveRoleAug 22, 2026
With Sam LaPorta now having a hip injury, Jameson Williams could pick up where he left off in the second half of last season as an explosive upside wide receiver two with wide receiver one week-winning potential. Zachariason finds him tempting in round six given the LaPorta injury, which makes it clearer than ever that Williams can operate as a high-upside receiver.PositiveValueAug 12, 2026
Jameson Williams is highlighted as a strong wide receiver option going at the round five to six turn, representing good value in that range for late-draft-position teams.PositiveUsageAug 11, 2026
Ian Hartitz advises against drafting Jameson Williams, citing target competition with Sam LaPorta and questioning his production when LaPorta is active in the lineup.PositiveUsageAug 9, 2026
Ian Hartitz notes that Jameson Williams has 16 drops on 235 targets over the last three years, but argues that his ability to make big plays outweighs the drop issues, as drops are a common side effect for high-target receivers.NegativeUsageNo date
Ian Hartitz does not believe Jameson Williams possesses the target share upside required to overtake Amon-Ra St. Brown as the primary option in the Lions' offense.NegativeRoleNo date
The market is currently drafting Jameson Williams as the clear number-two option for the Lions, but when Sam LaPorta is healthy and on the field, Williams is not the clear second option. LaPorta is either tied with or just ahead of Williams in targets per route run, target share, and all-pro route stats, suggesting the Lions' target distribution is more balanced between the two than current ADP reflects.NegativeProjectionNo date
Elite upside ceiling-game player with week-winning potential in rounds 3–6, but faces meaningful target-competition headwinds in 2025. Speaker took him as WR3 in mock draft and is willing to target him for his talent and ceiling weeks. However, second-half 2024 production (15+ PPG) benefited from Sam Leporta's absence; with the full Lions roster healthy, target distribution tightens significantly. First-half 2024 splits show 10.9 PPG vs. 15+ PPG in second half without Leporta, creating boom-bust consistency risk rather than steady WR1 production despite first-round talent.
