Williams brought in both targets for 80 yards and a touchdown in the Lions' 42-29 win over the Seahawks on Monday night. Williams appeared on his way to another disappointing performance after a one-catch dud against the Cardinals in Week 3, but he ripped off a 70-yard catch-and-run for a critical touchdown late in the third quarter Monday night. Williams now has three 70-yard-plus performances over the first four games of the season, but after drawing a combined 20 targets over the first pair of contests, he's logged just five in the subsequent two games. Williams will remain a somewhat big-play-dependent option when the Lions return to action against the Cowboys in a Week 6 road battle Sunday, Oct. 13 following a Week 5 bye.

Williams brought in both targets for 80 yards and a touchdown in the Lions' 42-29 win over the Seahawks on Monday night. Williams appeared on his way to another disappointing performance after a one-catch dud against the Cardinals in Week 3, but he ripped off a 70-yard catch-and-run for a critical touchdown late in the third quarter Monday night. Williams now has three 70-yard-plus performances over the first four games of the season, but after drawing a combined 20 targets over the first pair of contests, he's logged just five in the subsequent two games. Williams will remain a somewhat big-play-dependent option when the Lions return to action against the Cowboys in a Week 6 road battle Sunday, Oct. 13 following a Week 5 bye.
Williams caught one of three targets for nine yards and rushed once for minus-7 yards in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Cardinals. Williams came crashing back down to earth after racking up 228 scrimmage yards through two games. The speedster's a big-play threat any time he gets the ball in his hands, but Williams' touch floor is much lower than those of wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown or the backfield duo of Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery. Williams will look to bounce back on the national stage next week, when the Lions host the Seahawks on MNF.
Williams (ankle) caught five of 11 targets for 79 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Buccaneers. Williams picked up where he left off after racking up 121 receiving yards and a touchdown last week, catching a 50-yard pass on Detroit's second drive to set up a field goal. After posting no more than seven targets in any game across his first two seasons, Williams has opened 2024 with nine targets in Week 1 and 11 in Week 2, though he was overshadowed by Amon-Ra St. Brown's 19 targets in the loss to Tampa Bay. Williams will continue stretching the field for Detroit with his elite speed in Week 3 against the Cardinals.
Williams (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. Williams took a questionable tag into the weekend after he was a limited participant in all three of the Lions' practices this week due to an ankle injury. The Lions apparently saw enough from Williams in those practices to sign off on his availability for the Week 2 matchup, and with no reports that he'll be facing any restrictions Sunday, he should take on a sizable snap share as one of the Lions' starting receivers. The third-year wideout is coming off a breakthrough Week 1 outing against the Rams in which he produced a 5-121-1 receiving line on nine targets while taking his lone carry for 13 yards.
Williams (ankle), who is listed as questionable, is trending toward playing in Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports. Schultz outright suggested the speedy wide receiver would be active Sunday, but the team will officially make that announcement well before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. The third-year wide receiver is coming off easily one of his best games as a pro and should be in position to be an offensive factor once more against a Buccaneers secondary that is dealing with a variety of injuries.
Williams (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay. Williams was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday, after setting career highs for snap share (85 percent), targets (nine) and receiving yards (121) in a Week 1 win over the Rams. He'll have a favorable matchup Sunday if he avoids the inactive list ahead of a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, as Tampa Bay's secondary suffered numerous injuries in a Week 1 win over Washington, losing star safety Antoine Winfield (foot) and the top two backups at cornerback. The Lions don't have much WR depth on their roster, especially with rookie Isaiah Williams (abdomen) ruled out this week, but they have a slew of veterans on the practice squad -- Tim Patrick, Allen Robinson, Donovan Peoples-Jones -- that could be called up to join Amon-Ra St. Brown and Kalif Raymond in the Week 2 lineup.
Williams (ankle) was limited at practice Thursday. The Lions continue to take it easy on Williams as he deals with an ankle injury. During the team's Week 1 win against the Rams, he served as one of quarterback Jared Goff's top options in the passing game to the tune of five catches (on nine targets) for 121 yards and one touchdown. Williams also added a 13-yard carry. Friday's practice report will reveal whether or not he enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Williams practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday due to an ankle injury. On the heels of a breakout Week 1 performance Sunday night against the Rams -- 5-121-1 on nine targets, plus a 13-yard carry -- Williams is tending to a health concern, which may stem from the first-half play in which he appeared to get banged up. He of course finished out the contest, but the Lions will take it easy on the third-year wide receiver as the team ramps up for Sunday's game versus the Buccaneers.
Williams caught five of nine targets for 121 yards and a touchdown while adding a 13-yard run in Sunday's 26-20 overtime win over the Rams. Williams accounted for 121 of Jared Goff's 217 passing yards, outperforming the combined receiving contributions of Sam LaPorta (45 yards on five targets), Jahmyr Gibbs (34 yards on six targets) and Amon-Ra St. Brown (13 yards on six targets). The highlight of Williams' night was a 52-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter on which he left cornerback Tre'Davious White in the dust. Detroit's other premier pass catchers won't always be so quiet, but Williams appears to have finally carved out a prominent role after two disappointing seasons. The speedy wide receiver will look to build on this encouraging performance in Week 2 against the Buccaneers.
