Lions WR Jameson Williams looks strong over the middle, a "different player from a year ago," per The Athletic's Nick Baumgardner.

What They're Saying

Baumgardner: "Jameson Williams looks stronger through the middle, more explosive with better body control in the air and near the sideline. If he had one hit the dirt today I didn’t see it... Literally looks like a different player from a year ago today."

"Jamo also puked mid-stride after finishing a touchdown catch — took a brief knee, wiped off the puke, and got back to work. That, ladies and germs, is a Football Player."

2024 Fantasy Football Impact

Jameson Williams had an inconsistent season last year for the Lions but has been pegged by many as a potential breakout player for 2024.

The Lions did little to address the WR position in the offseason, losing Josh Reynolds to free agency.

Expectations are high for Williams to fill in as the No. 2 WR for the team after being drafted in the first round in the 2022 NFL Draft.

What's Next for Jameson Williams?

If hype continues to build for Williams in training camp, his ADP may start to climb in fantasy drafts.

OC Ben Johnson stayed in Detroit despite being offered head coaching positions and is one of the best offensive minds in the game. If anyone can scheme Williams open, it is Johnson.
