Official Terrance Williams, WR, Dallas (1 Viewer)

I benched Fitz vs. Seattle secondary in favor of Williams. Could have been a dumb move but thankfully the bar is set pretty low at this point for it being the right move.

Wish I had done this. Won't do it again until Fitz shows me he is 100% healthy.
 
Im on board in my 2 leagues, started him in one.

Looks solid, if Dez is a dollar then TW is $0.75.

:moneybag:

 
For those of you who starting despite only getting 2 targets the week prior....Bravo! Well done. :bowtie:

For those of you benched him hanging on to the notion MA :X has any residual value, :shrug: bench pts are like morale victories.

:drive:

Started him in my flex over Andre Ellington this week... probably saved my week. Three weeks in a row with a TD. He may be Romo's new favorite red zone target.

Honestly think it keeps going up from here. Yes Dez is the number 1, but look at recent years in ATL where both Roddy and Julio produced elite FF numbers. Or even in Dallas the prior few years where Dez and Miles both took off. It's a high-volme passing offense with an elite #1 on one side, leading to TW getting single coverage. Romo is clearly enamored with him...

I don't think he's looking back - I think he's locked in as the #2. Honestly at this point the battle in the WR corps is between Austin and Beasly for the slot role, one that Beasly appears to be winning right now.

Note the comments from Romo after the game:

“Terrance Williams has improved as much as maybe anybody that I've seen in the six months he's been here,” Romo said. “It usually takes wide receivers a while. He continually takes coaching and does the thing you need to do to improve. It's just a testament to his work ethic and commitment to the football team. You love having guys like that.”

Just played the matchups this week with TW and Alshon and cashed in on both. Terrible terrible pass d's that couldn't defend WR2s.

Been saying this all along. Actually, with the waiver wire picked clean, this is the perfect time to pick up Beasley. I like the Welkerian type reference. Spot on.

Could TW develop into a Decker type? He's still young and raw, but stranger things have happened.

 
Coach Jason Garrett "intimated" Monday the Cowboys may "shut down" Miles Austin for awhile to allow his lingering hamstring problems to subside.
As the Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Clarence Hill notes, this is much easier to do with Terrance Williams and Cole Beasley playing so well. Williams has been nothing short of sensational after a slow rookie-year start, and is clearly a superior option to declining, injury-ravaged Austin. Beasley is an efficient, Welkerian slot receiver. Dez Bryant and Jason Witten are going strong

As a Williams owner who wants to see him continue to flourish, the odd thing is, despite how good he and Beasley have looked lately, combined with Dez and Witten, how did the offense still only manage 17 points against Philly's ####ty defense yesterday? And only 213 total yards the week before against Washington's terrible D (they scored 31, but some long punt returns and a turnover inside the Washington 5 were big reasons why)? You'd think the increased weaponry would be resulting in more offense.

I think you will see it this week, though, as Detroit will score 30+ at home.

This is true, this is another good matchup, isn't it?

They were both division games. Sometimes, due to their experience playing one another, porous defenses can game plan well and turn a projected shoot out into a defensive slugfest. I'm not saying this is the sole reason both games played out as they did, but it definitely cannot be discounted.

Maybe it's also not a coincidence, due to the aforementioned points, that Williams was relatively successful versus both of them. In this case, they both had very little experience versus Williams.

Early rankings see FBG's really low on TW this week. Despite his 6/71/1 on 7 targets, and 3rd week in a row scoring a TD. I really don't get it anymore. The hate. Really FBG's??? I'm got him locked & loaded vs Detroit.

It's a new age man, information is flowing in from all directions. Expert rankings should mean absolutely jack to anyone who actually takes the time to post in formums like this and etc.

Just look at the some of the factors going into this week's match-up..

- Garret said he's debating resting/limiting Austin so he can get healthy.

- DET is bottom 10 versus WRs regardless of the format.

- DET has been burned by players with similar skill sets to Williams (Simpson, James Jones, Gordon).

- DET is bottom 10 in giving up the big play to WRs

If he's not ranked in the top 24 this week it's criminal, plain and simple.

 
Over/under 959 receiving yards this season (Julio's rookie season)?

Over/under 8 receiving TDs this season (Julio's rookie season)?

You bet, this is the time to be ahead of dated material that autogenerates spreadsheets. Not to toot my own horn, but saw Aqib Talib was out, saw Jeremy Kerley on the wire an hour before the game, saw him ranked really low, said #### it, and plugged him in. Watch my opponent cry in the corner not aware of just what happened to him. Sometimes, you have to say screw the rankings and go with your gut.

If you extrapolate what's been able to do since getting the nod 4 weeks ago, he's on pace for 62/1040/10. I don't think he'll be able to keep up the TD pace to be honest but I think it's possible for him to surpass 959 depending on whether or not they continue to utilize him in the same fashion.

I'm thrilled I got him with the last pick in waivers a few weeks ago...

Terrance Williams has an 85.7% catch rate on 28 targets w/ 15.8 yards per catch. That kind of per play production + catch rate is = goodness

I think "That kind of per play production + catch rate = feed the dude more" would have been more appropriate.

That catch rate is far and away the #1 catch rate in the NFL for WRs (minimum 25 targets).

And usually the high catch rates go to guys that hang around the line of scrimmage - that is especially good for a guy that can go deep.

You don't see that kind of catch rate amongst WRs of Williams's type unless you're looking at GB. You're right, catch rates like that are usually reserved for the Welker types.

I'm sure it would drop on 60+ targets but it's still rather amazing.

correct on both counts.

 
I've been in talks to move him for Roddy & Doug Martin (guy is 2-5 & desparate to win now) in my 12 team ppr redraft (start 2RBs, 2WR, & flex league).

I'm cruising at 5-2 and have the depth to do it ... the appeal of Roddy rebounding, and Doug possibly coming back, (as my RB3) in time for the stretch run is enticing.

I'm hesitant for the obvious reasons. Am I crazy for even giving this any thought?

Can you use TW to fill in both the RB and WR position if you are in need? (are the flex-able?)

Id probably keep TW and not aim at damaged goods. A bird in the hand...

 
No, can only plug TWill at WR or Flex spot, the RB slots must be filled by RBs.

I hear you, that's why I'm hesitant.

Plus, I don't think he's going anywhere, even if Miles comes back at 115%. Miles is most likely gone next year, so my thinking is they'll continue to roll with the kid and see what they've got in him. As long as he's producing, why not let him develop too?

 
He is a good boom or bust number 3 wr for now but is he is a candidate to become better than that if his targets increase.

Tagets with no austin: 8 and 4 avg of 6

With austin, targets: 2 and 7 avg of 4.5

The rankings have been a bit ridiculous lately with shorts dropping all the way down to the high 70s and then back to the 20s all within 2 weeks

 
I don't own him but I would have a hard time leaving him on the bench with the way he's playing and going against the Lions.
