New York Jets wide receiver Isaiah Williams has carved out a spot in 11 personnel in recent weeks, although he can't be relied upon for fantasy in Sunday's divisional clash with the New England Patriots. The Jets' WR room has been all over the place in 2025. Between the additions of Adonai Mitchell and John Metchie III, and the loss of Garrett Wilson (knee), the corps has been in flux for most of the campaign. That said, Williams has recently settled into the WR3 role. Beginning in Week 14, the second-year pro saw his snap share tick up, and it's steadily done so each game since as he plays behind Mitchell and Metchie. In spite of a decent role, quarterback Brady Cook's play hasn't been enough to inspire confidence in the Jets' skill players, lowering the offense's overall floor. Outside of a cheap DFS play or back-end dynasty bench stash, fantasy managers can avoid Williams for the time being, considering his ranking as RotoBaller's PPR WR85 for Week 17's contest.

New York Jets wide receiver Isaiah Williams saw a modest increase in target share during Week 15's 48-20 loss to the Jaguars, although he'll be challenging to trust for fantasy when the team takes on the hosting New Orleans Saints this Sunday. Williams has been a strong special teams contributor for New York this season. While it's taken him a bit longer to carve out a role on offense, the University of Illinois product has seen that come to fruition in recent weeks, culminating in his best outing of the season last weekend (6/53). Williams' uptick in work has correlated with rookie quarterback Brady Cook handling duties under center, which should be beneficial for him, considering the latter has garnered the starting role for New York's final three games. As encouraging as that seems for the second-year pro, he still doesn't project to slot in any higher than the third option in the Jets' aerial assault behind teammates Adonai Mitchell and John Metchie III, leaving questions about the stability of his Week 15 output. For the time being, owners can continue to ignore Williams for fantasy purposes, but may benefit from keeping an eye on him as New York closes out the campaign. He'll rank as RotoBaller's PPR WR90 for Sunday's outing.

New York Jets wide receiver Isaiah Williams recorded two receptions for 24 yards on three targets during last week's blowout loss to the Miami Dolphins. The 24-year-old wideout has seen his snap share increase since Week 8, playing 46.5% of the snaps after playing just one total offensive snap over the first seven weeks. Williams is still not involved enough to be considered a legitimate option in fantasy, especially with undrafted rookie Brady Cook making his first career start in Week 15 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Isaiah Williams caught all four of his targets for a total of 35 yards during Thursday's preseason loss against the New York Giants. Undrafted out of Illinois, Williams is now firmly in the mix for a depth role after a solid showing in Week 1 of the preseason. He showcased considerable quickness and change of direction skills in the loss, even earning a shoutout from head coach Dan Campbell following the game. Williams has less than one month (and two more games) to show the coaching staff why he's worthy of a coveted 53-man roster spot.
