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.

Rashee Rice Picking Up Steam After Slow Start

Wednesday, September 30, 5:40 AM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice dominated the team's target volume in Week 3 and should be a strong option moving forward. In three games, Rice has caught 13 of 17 passes for 190 yards and a touchdown, averaging 10.5 half-PPR fantasy points per game. His most productive game came against the Miami Dolphins, when he hauled in seven of nine targets for 88 yards and out-targeted the next-closest receiver by six. After a slow start to training camp following knee surgery in May, Rice seems to be hitting his stride. With Patrick Mahomes looking great after his knee injury, Rice and the entire offense should be productive this season. He faces the 3-0 Las Vegas Raiders in Week 4, where Rice fits the high-end WR2 category for fantasy purposes.
