Antonio Williams posting 50-plus catches as a rookie is entirely reasonable given the context of the Commanders’ depth chart. Jaylin Lane posted a microscopic 8.2-percent Target Share last season, while Luke McCaffrey is roster-clogging depth. With Deebo Samuel still floating out there in the free-agency, Chigoziem Okonkwo, and his elite 96th-percentile 40-yard dash time, suddenly projects to be the de facto number two target behind volume-hog Terry McLaurin.
Breer’s report is a good reminder that Williams is in-line to earn a definitive role in Washington’s wide-open WR room. Touted as a first round talent before Clemson imploded, he is a strong pick in the second round of dynasty rookie drafts and the double-digit rounds in best ball.
