The source recommends significantly increasing snaps for rookie receiver Antonio Williams, who played only 37% of offensive snaps against Philadelphia. The source states: "I would also make sure rookie Antonio Williams sees MUCH more than 37% of the offensive snaps. Williams is the best Washington receiver on the day so far."

Antonio Williams is a player to monitor for a potential breakout after a solid Week 1 performance (4 catches, 60 yards, 1 TD). Despite running only 28.9% of routes, his performance warrants an uptick in snaps, especially with Jiggy Ako dealing with a hamstring injury and Treylon Burks being a healthy scratch. He is a prospect to keep an eye on, though not an immediate waiver add in most leagues.

Rookie receiver with the highest PPR output on the source's list despite running only 29% of routes. Converted 11 routes into 4 catches, 64 yards, 1 TD, 4 first downs, and perfect pass rating when targeted. The source's biggest stash because route share could grow from 29% to 80%+ with Stefon Diggs part-time and Dyami Brown potentially scaled down.

Thought Antonio Williams' film was really impressive in Week 1. Good routes, explosive out of breaks, and created some good separation. That offense needs more options and he definitely commanded some opportunity with his play. Reminder: I will have weekly charting notebooks on RP. Looking to post the first one today with Williams, Matthew Golden, MHJ, Waddle and more. [Retweeted](

Antonio Williams posted an efficient 4/64/1 stat line in Week 1, but played only 26 snaps. The source notes he is currently third on the depth chart behind Terry McLaurin and Stefon Diggs; while he is a prospect to watch for increased future usage, he is not yet a viable starting lineup option.

Available in 98% of leagues; high-upside waiver target with elite efficiency and versatile skill set. Plays with exceptional physicality and attitude (5'11", 195 lbs, described as "hair on fire, insanely physical, 100 miles an hour on every play"); excels as route runner with strong zone-beating ability and elite ball-winning potential with strong hands and body control. At 5.82 yards per route run, only Z Flowers averaged more among wide receivers. However, 26% route share limits short-term production behind Stefon Diggs and Terry McLuren, making him C-tier stash for deep leagues with upside potential later in season. Source notes he's "a perfect compliment to Scary Terry and Stefon Diggs" and has been moved all over formation (X, slot, flanker), positive sign for future usage.

The third-round Commanders receiver racked up a team-high 64 receiving yards and a touchdown on four catches despite running just 10 routes in Week 1. Williams shook free from All-Pro Cooper DeJean for his first catch and displayed sure hands on a 1-yard touchdown; despite limited opportunities with Terry McLaurin drawing coverage, keeping Williams sidelined could prove difficult given Washington's lack of receiving options.

Clemson rookie WR had an excellent NFL debut for Washington despite the Commanders' dismal offensive performance; caught all four targets for 64 yards and a touchdown on just 11 routes. Jim Moorman, a noted Williams bull since college, believes this early production should earn him a larger snap rate in Week 2 and beyond, and is willing to pay an early 2027 second-round rookie pick or equivalent player value to acquire him.

Had a strong NFL debut for the Commanders, catching all four of his targets for 64 yards and a touchdown against the Eagles. However, the source cautions against adding him in redraft formats, noting he is clearly the Commanders' No. 3 receiver and the team's offensive line limitations will prevent a high-flying passing game. The source suggests Williams has dynasty value but minimal redraft value in his first season.

While Williams showed high efficiency with four targets on 12 routes, the source views him as an injury-dependent stash rather than a viable Week 2 starter, as he is currently the team's fourth wide receiver in snaps. He saw targets in the middle of the field, but his future target share may be threatened if Chigoziem Okonkwo returns to the lineup, as they operate in similar areas of the field.
