Kyle Williams Rest-of-Season Outlook
depth WR for deep leagues only
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished WR112 last season at 2.9 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 3 games he's WR116 at 2.1 PPR points per game, against 2.9 over 17 games last season (WR112). The role is producing the same fantasy output two years running.
Last season he ranked 108th of 142 in target volume (4.4% target share), 92nd of 142 in downfield role (8.7% air-yards share) and 83rd of 142 in efficiency (1.31 yards per route run). Target volume is the soft spot. Drake Maye is his quarterback.
He's WR2 on the depth chart, so his value depends on the players ahead of him.
The next favorable matchup is the Bills in Week 4 (7th against WRs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Williams arrived as a vertical specialist in 2025, and the numbers back the profile: 19.05 air yards per target and a 40-yard average depth on his catches made him New England's designated field-stretcher. On just 21 looks across 14 games, he turned 10 grabs into 209 yards and three scores, posting a robust 20.9 yards per reception with a 72-yard long. The efficiency markers are loud for a 22-year-old: 0.468 EPA per play, a 42.9% success rate, and 1.31 yards per route run despite seeing only 30.8% of the snaps.
The ceiling is real, but so are the volume limits. A 4.4% target share and a 0.126 WOPR mean he was barely involved in the offense, and zero red-zone targets cap his touchdown dependability. For 2026, the bet is on an expanded snap rate converting that big-play juice into steady production. Until the route volume climbs, he stays a boom-or-bust bench dart with genuine upside if the role grows.
