Analysis

Williams saw his fewest targets since Week 7 in Saturday's loss, leading to just 19 yards through the air. On the flip side, the wide receiver was the beneficiary of a trick-play handoff in the second quarter, scoring a 61-yard touchdown on the ground. Later in the fourth quarter, Williams attempted to throw a pass downfield, which was intercepted by Mike Sainristil. Williams and Amon-Ra St. Brown provided the Lions with a formidable duo at wide receiver this year and Williams figures to remain a significant part of Detroit's passing attack in 2025.

Analysis

Williams didn't get free for any of his signature deep balls, but the speedster did just enough to reach the 1,000-yard threshold, finishing the regular season with 1,001 receiving yards in 15 games. He scored on seven of his 58 catches while supplying 61 rushing yards and a touchdown on 11 rushing attempts. Williams and the Lions have a bye into the NFC divisional round as the top seed in the NFC Conference.

Analysis

Williams led the Lions in receiving yards and scored a receiving touchdown for the third straight game on a 42-yard hook and lateral in conjunction with Amon-Ra St. Brown early in the second quarter. Prior to that play, which saw Williams turn the corner and speed up the right sideline for a touchdown, the 2022 first-round pick had turned on the jets to record the second rushing score of his career on a three-yard run around left end to erase an early 7-0 deficit. Williams' speed has increasingly become a factor down the stretch, and he now has 17 catches of 20-plus yards heading into the Week 18 showdown against the Vikings that will decide the NFC North crown and conference's No. 1 seed.

Analysis

Williams blew by the defense for an 82-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter, which helped him set a new single-game career high in receiving yards. The speedster has surpassed 120 yards with a touchdown three times this season, and Williams takes a budding two-game touchdown streak into Week 17 against the 49ers. He's up to 47 catches for 890 yards and six touchdowns, all career highs.

Analysis

Williams was limited to his lowest reception total since Week 10, but he did salvage his day with a three-yard touchdown catch with less than a minute left in the game. The wide receiver has now compiled 25 catches for 386 yards and two touchdowns over the last six games following his two-game suspension. Williams has emerged as a legitimate No. 2 option at wide receiver behind Amon-Ra St. Brown this season, catching 42 of 68 targets for 747 yards and five touchdowns while adding eight carries for 56 yards over 12 games.

Analysis

Williams led the team in receiving yards on a team-high eight targets, most notably reeling in a 28-yard catch in the first quarter. The wide receiver's dynamic skill set has led to some big performances this season, and the five catches matched his season high, which he now has accomplished in three straight games and five times overall in 2024. On the year, Williams has caught 39 of 63 targets for 710 yards and four touchdowns while appearing in 11 games.

Analysis

After racking up at least 50 receiving yards in each of the Lions' previous three contests, Williams fell off a bit Week 13, despite tying his third-highest target count of the campaign. He did match Amon-Ra St. Brown for the team lead on that front, but all of St. Brown (5-73-0), Tim Patrick (2-48-0 on three targets) and David Montgomery (3-36-0 on three targets) ranked above Williams as pass catchers, and TE Sam LaPorta hauled in both of Jared Goff's TD passes. On a positive note, though, Williams recorded a season high in rushing yards with the help of a 15-yard carry that included him hurdling a Bears defender. His next chance to produce will be next Thursday versus the Packers.

Analysis

The Lions didn't need their top wideouts much in a comfortable win over the Colts, leading to modest stat lines for Williams and the rest of Detroit's receiving corps, though he did lead the team in receiving yardage. The 23-year-old has been hot and cold this season, resulting in a 29-602-4 line through nine healthy games. Williams' home-run potential will keep him a viable fantasy option for the contending Lions in a home matchup against the Bears on Thanksgiving Day.

Analysis

Williams finished a distant second in receptions, receiving yards and targets to Amon-Ra St. Brown, but he put together a standout performance in his own right. Williams sealed his second 100-yard performance of the season with a 64-yard catch-and-run touchdown early in the third quarter, his fourth score overall this season. Williams lines up for another favorable matchup when the Lions travel to face the Colts in a Week 12 interconference clash next Sunday.
