The Mike Williams Thread: Finally turned the corner?

[BigBawseRoss]

He's also about the same size as OBJ who missed his first four games with injury and took a couple games to get going after that. Worked out fine for him. Ross probably won't be OBJ, but he's far from the write off that White/Perriman etc have become.

before you said this and i looked up their height and weight i would have thought ODB was much bigger than Ross. ODB rips down catches and Ross is seen as a deep threat burner. Now im more excited to see Ross in action lol. went mega youth on my one dynasty start up and dying to see if any of Davis, Ross, and Williams can ball out for me for years to come

Ross is closer in size to Lockett than OBJ. But yeah, the point is he does weigh more than Richardson and Lockett.

Ross is very athletic but you're right he's not the same player as OBJ. I think I comped him to Santana Moss.

[DinoDynasty]

Ross comps closest to Fuller.

5'11/6'0
188/186
Marco Rubio hands
Burner straight line speed.

What do we think of Mike Williams at this point? I just traded for him, do we think he will be a startable asset by 2018?

[Plank]

Just saw him catch his first pass for 15 yards, already better than K White and L Treadwell, heh.

i would think so, i meant the high draft pick used on him suggests they want him to be the man on the outside and as another jump ball type threat in the redzone. hes playing now after only a few weeks into the season so with the rest of the season to pick up the playbook, get timing down with rivers, learn his role...ya he should be a solid starting WR in fantasy by next season, if not sooner, seems like theres a lot of mouths to feed currently though

Not surprised because John Ross has never been healthy. ACL and multiple MCL injuries in college. Not meant to be.

Yeah, the thing that scares me is:

Allen isn't going anywhere. Henry isn't going anywhere. Heck, Melly Gordon isn't going anywhere.

So for the next couple years, Williams' ceiling is what, taking over for Tyrell?

[Plank]

Well if he gets more snaps over other very strong options I'd imagine he'll be good enough to get his share of targets,,. If not, he will stay at a low snap total and we won't have to worry about it

It is a legitimate concern. Seems like the Williams', Benjamin, and the TEs are going to cannibalize each other this year for fantasy. Next year Benjamin should be gone, but I expect Tyrell to be back on a fairly cheap 1-year RFA contract (Taylor Gabriel got a little under $3m on a 2nd round tender last year, which would be a bargain for Tyrell int he NFL).

There is always the Allen injury upside, but I don't like relying on that.

[flyersfan1981]

who would have thought that john ross would have a harder time gettin healthy than mike williams... thats all anyone talked about at FF draft time was that williams is the better prospect but might miss half the season.

Ross got one carry no targets and lost a fumble and has been hurt ever since.

these 2 better have a better career than kevin white and breshad perriman LOL so far they are on track to align perfectly with them

Anyone foolish enough to waste an early pick on a guy who couldn't even make it thru the 40 at the combine without getting hurt over a guy like Williams deserves to have it blow up in their face.

[Pac_Eddy]

I was able to get Mike Williams in more leagues than is safe, so I'm heavily invested. I just assume this means he'll always be injured.

Seriously though, I'm not worried about his competition. Not that Keenan Allen, Gordon & Henry won't get theirs, but he was the #7 overall pick. Unless he's just terrible (Treadwell), he'll have his chance to shine.

Carted off the field today with a knee injury.

Purely as a fan of good football, I really hope he pans out. He was my 1.02 up until a few months ago. Loved him coming out, but I'm seeing the ghost of Kevin White

[Shcritters]

Do we know how bad it was? Been looking and can’t find anything.
