Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection

Proven WR in his prime — production and runway both hold.

DVS is our model view, scored on Engine-default half-PPR — not a guaranteed price in your league. Bye weeks and schedule strength are left out on purpose.

Player quality

Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.

  • Durability ×0.98

    One recent short season (games missed). Production already saw the missed games — this is forward risk only.

  • Process ×0.99

    Process residual (not a second production percentile).

  • Org environment ×1.01

    Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.

Quick answer

Buy

Williams caught 65 passes for 1,117 yards in 2025, finishing WR10. He scored 18% more than his touches said he should. Coming off a real climb — WR19 to WR10 tells the story better than age. Looking at 2026, he's a situational piece unless the role grows. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
