Mike Williams Retiring After Eight NFL Seasons

Thursday, July 17, 2:08 PM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams, who was recently placed on the training-camp PUP (Physically Unable to Perform) list, is retiring from the NFL after eight seasons. The 30-year-old entered the NFL as the No. 7 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft by the Chargers following a stellar career at Clemson. He spent the first seven seasons of his pro career with L.A. before playing for the New York Jets and Pittsburgh Steelers in 2024. Overall, Williams tallied 330 receptions for 5,104 yards and 32 touchdowns. He hangs up his cleats with two 1,000-yard seasons on his resume. Known as a big-play threat, his impact diminished later in his career as he aged and dealt with injury. While he was unlikely to be a significant factor for the Chargers this year, his departure gives Quentin Johnston more breathing room after a slow start to his NFL career.

Jameson Williams Needs to Show More Consistency in Clearly Defined Role

Monday, May 4, 7:30 AM

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams is coming off a WR12 finish in fantasy football, but consistency has been an issue for the former first-round pick. Williams had seven games with fewer than 7.0 fantasy points in PPR leagues last year, including a pair of zero-point finishes. His consistency (or lack thereof) is preventing him from being a plug-and-play low-end WR1 on a weekly basis. Williams' role is clearly defined, as the Lions use him to stretch the field while giving Amon-Ra St. Brown some of the safer targets. That explains why he's been more boom-or-bust, but it shouldn't necessarily prohibit him from producing more consistently. Fantasy managers will look for Williams to be more dependable in 2026 and beyond. One possible solution for dynasty managers is trading Williams now, because the WR12 finish from last year masks how up-and-down his season actually was.
