After Lions head coach Dan Campbell took over offensive play-calling duties last year beginning in Week 10, Jameson Williams averaged 4.9 catches and 84.7 receiving yards per game over the rest of the regular season. Williams was the fantasy WR9 in half-PPR scoring over that stretch, one spot behind teammate Amon-Ra St. Brown, with less than a point per game separating them. The source recommends starting Williams with confidence this week at home in a potential shootout against the Saints.

The source projects Jameson Williams to outscore Amon-Ra St. Brown in Week 1. In his fourth season, the Lions gave Williams a chance to change his stripes. Over the final six weeks, his receiving aDOT fell by 25.8% to 11.8, with more screens and interior targets added to his diet. Williams' catchable target rate soared to 81% from 70%, and his efficiency from a per-route perspective improved. He turned his big-play ability into down-to-day reliability. New Orleans is returning their primary outside defenders from 2025, the same guys who tied for allowing the ninth-most yards per reception last year. The game has the second-highest total on the week. The source will be watching Williams run by St. Brown with the ball into the end zone.

Start Jameson Williams in Week 1 against New Orleans. Williams significantly benefits from single-high coverage; his target per route run jumps from WR70 to WR26 when defenses shift from two-high to single-high coverage. The Saints are expected to play single-high, and the Lions' tendency to keep throwing in blowouts (they don't take their foot off the gas) adds additional upside for Williams in this high over/under game (50.5).

Williams' role shifted from pure vertical element to more versatile usage in 2025's second half: aDOT dropped from 15.9 (Weeks 1-6) to 11.8 (Weeks 13-18), target share rose from 17% to 24%, and catchable target rate improved from 70% to 81%. His YPRR jumped to 2.36 over Weeks 13-18, nearly matching Amon-Ra St. Brown's 2.49. Against New Orleans' returning outside corners (Kool-Aid McKinstry and Quincy Riley, both Top 25 in passer rating allowed), Williams' archetype of screens and slot targets should thrive in the second-highest total game of the week.

Jameson Williams is ranked at 43 in E tier, but James Cook expresses strong enthusiasm for the player, stating he wants to rank him higher; the Detroit Lions project to be the best offense in the league this week with a phenomenal matchup against the New Orleans Saints; Cook keeps him in E tier rather than promoting to D tier to avoid accusations of bias since he has Williams on his own fantasy team, but emphasizes extreme excitement about starting him.

Williams projects for 57.5 receiving yards in Week 1 vs. New Orleans. There are real splits with Sam LaPorta available: Williams has an 18% target share, 10.5 half-PPR points, 8.4 expected half-PPR points, and 55 YPG in 24 games with LaPorta over the past two seasons. His average depth of target climbs from 11.0 to 13.0 when LaPorta is on the field, as LaPorta runs more intermediate crossers while Williams stretches the field. The Lions' secondary is in bad shape, suggesting a high-scoring affair. The loss of David Montgomery may lead to more dropbacks from Jared Goff, who has finished second in passing yards in three straight seasons. The Saints' No. 1 neutral pace offense comes to Detroit, and there should be as many points and plays as any game this week. The Lions are narrowly second in projected points. Saints DC Brandon Staley's scheme prevents explosive plays with more deep safeties, making it more difficult for Williams to get home. He'll face CB1 Kool-Aid McKinstry in isolated matchups.

Ranked WR24 for week one despite a real four-star matchup grade, with both analysts ranking him inside the top 20. Historically high-scoring home environment and vulnerable opposing pass defense with limited pass-rush threat support real shootout upside. A teammate tight end's recurring health issue could mean fewer targets diverted away from Williams. From a specific point last season onward once his head coach took over play-calling, Williams posted meaningful catch and yardage floor, and this game's Vegas-implied point total supports real shootout expectations.
