Date | League | Injury | Details |
---|---|---|---|
May 12, 2017 | NFL | Back Vertebral Disc Hernia | Williams suffered what the team called a "mild disc herniation in his lower back" on the 1st day of rookie minicamp. He didn't return to practice until September and didn't play until mid-October (Week 6). |
Sep 5, 2015 | Non-NFL | Cervical Neck Fracture | Williams fractured the C6 vertebrae at the base of his neck in the 1st game of the 2015 season at Clemson. |
Nov 23, 2017 | NFL | Knee Bruise | Williams missed 1 game with a bone bruise on his right knee. |
Sep 25, 2019 | NFL | Back Lower Lumbar Muscle Spasms | Williams suffered a back injury that kept him out of the Chargers’ practice ahead of Week 4 game vs. Miami. He missed the game |
Aug 23, 2020 | NFL | Shoulder A/C Joint Sprain | Williams suffered a sprained AC joint in training camp. He was active for the Week 1 game against the Bengals |
Sep 27, 2020 | NFL | Thigh Hamstring Strain Grade 2 | Williams injured his hamstring during Week 3's contest against the Panthers. He missed the next game |
Dec 13, 2020 | NFL | Back Lower Lumbar Sprain | Williams suffered a back injury during the Chargers' Week 14 win against the Falcons. He didn't miss any game |
Oct 23, 2022 | NFL | Pedal Ankle (high) Sprain Grade 3 | Williams was helped off the field, unable to put any weight on his right leg. |
Nov 20, 2022 | NFL | Pedal Ankle Sprain/Pull Unspecified Grade 1 | Williams aggravated his right ankle injury in Week 11. |
Sep 24, 2023 | NFL | Knee ACL Tear Grade 3 | Williams sustained a left knee injury in Week 3 vs. the Vikings. He was later diagnosed with a season-ending ACL tear. |
Williams missed or was limited by injury in six games last year. But his scoring averages in the other 11 landed him 15th among WRs in PPR points and 16th in non-PPR. That followed a top-14 finish across scoring formats in 2021.
The Chargers offense under new OC Kellen Moore should remain pass heavy – and feature more downfield shots, which would be good news for Williams.
The arrival of WR Quentin Johnston adds some risk to Williams’ volume. But we’re ultimately expecting the rookie to steal a bunch of WR Josh Palmer’s targets and have minimal effect on Williams.
Consider Williams a solid WR2 for your fantasy squad, albeit one with plenty of weekly volatility.
For us, it's 1/17th of the equation. Hear us out.
