Isaiah Williams Needs More Consistent Opportunities

Saturday, October 17, 7:57 AM

New York Jets wide receiver Isaiah Williams has provided a few explosive plays this season, but his limited receiving involvement makes him a difficult fantasy option heading into Week 6. His best performance came against Chicago in Week 4, when he caught two passes for 73 yards and a touchdown, including a 58-yard scoring reception. Williams followed that outing with just one catch for 16 yards against Cleveland, despite Adonai Mitchell remaining unavailable. He has 11 receptions for 151 yards and a touchdown through five games, illustrating the occasional upside but also the lack of dependable volume. Mitchell (finger) has been ruled out again, although rookie Omar Cooper Jr. could return from injured reserve and compete for opportunities against New England. Williams remains a speculative deep-league flex option whose fantasy production depends heavily on making the most of limited touches.

Zachariah Branch's Arrow Pointing Slightly Up, but Still Off Flex Radar in Week 3

Wednesday, September 23, 6:30 PM

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Zachariah Branch reeled in both of his targets in Week 3 for 14 yards. It is something worth monitoring, as the team's 2026 third-round draft pick could carve out a role with fellow wide receivers Jahan Dotson and Olamide Zaccheaus doing little to start off 2026, although that has mostly been the case for everyone on Atlanta not named Bijan Robinson. Still, there was some buzz surrounding Branch in camp, and with Michael Penix Jr. (knee) now back under center for the Falcons, there should be a bit more effectiveness to this offense. Put the 22-year-old on the watch list for now, but there is little reason to use him in Week 3 in a road matchup against the Packers, as the Georgia product is ranked at WR No. 103 this week at RotoBaller.
