Official Terrance Williams, WR, Dallas (1 Viewer)

[ShamrockPride]

Slow 1st half. If he flames out this game I have no problem. Can't keep his crazy rate up forever and would have no problem starting him again going forward. Am really encouraged tho by the targets. Things seem to be looking up what with Austin out and Romo looking for him more than ever so far this week.

 

[SameSongNDance]

He's been targeted a whopping 7 times with the next closest in targets being 2. There goes that catch %.

 

[bcat01]

Some better throws by Romo and he is having a great game.

 

[Mungo]

Not much to show for it, but the opportunity we all saw for him is indisputably there. If they can slow down that pass rush, we could get that pay day yet.

 

[Mario Kart]

Terrible throws his way or what? 9 targets... drops? Diving? What kind of throws are we talking about here?

 

[Hu-Tang Clan]

 

[SameSongNDance]

Sheesh, finally.

 

[ShamrockPride]

Dat was impressive as all hell lol. Showed the speed and just threw the dude off him. Damn.

 

[Bob Magaw]

they noted williams TD catch in four consecutive record games was a team rookie record (includes some good WRs, like bob hayes, michael irvin and dez bryant)...

romo is targeting him a lot, he won't be double teamed across from bryant, and he has breakaway speed.

 

[Insein]

He feels like this years Cecil Shorts.

 

[Raiderfan32904]

averaging 17 PPG in PPR over the last 5 weeks.

 

[BigJim®]

Some better throws by Romo and he is having a great game.

I was only able to watch the 1st quarter but at that point he'd been targetted 5 times but only had 1 catch due to inaccurate throws. He made a really good deep grab in 1-1, but was just out of bounds due to the throw.

 

[John 14:6]

Starting him over nicks

Same here. I hope this is the right call...

Now I'm thinking of starting him over Cruz after they're both done with bye weeks...

 

[The Duff Man]

First half....Ugh

 

[SameSongNDance]

First half....Ugh

Dez is going to be doubled all night, something has to open up for Williams eventually.

Eventually..

 

[lbouchard]

That was a great double move by Williams

 

[LargeMouthBass]

Austin is back this week allegedly fully healthy but wasn't he healthy in weeks 1,2, and 3?

Will Williams have any value? I'm forced to start him this week due to my other receivers being on bye. Thoughts?

maybe not a great comparasion but i'd feel more confident starting terrance williams or roddy white this week.

this game has potential to be high score so williams should be able to get in on the action

 

[Raiderfan32904]

Austin is coming! Austin is coming! The sky is falling! The sky is falling! BWWWWAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

 

[SameSongNDance]

IMO, it would seem as if Williams's boom/bust status never really changed once Austin went down; it just so happened that he boomed more often than not. Whatever the case may be, he didn't really take advantage of the constant attention Dez received and the increased reps.

I'm hoping that Austin and Williams rotate some in two wide sets but the consensus seems to believe Austin will just retake the job. Of course, on three wide sets Austin will move to the slot and we'll still see a good amount of Williams. Cannibalization is inevitable but if you're still looking to swing for the fences Williams is still a good bet.

 

[The Dude]

Every year we look for difference makers in the stretch run and playoffs. Every year we look for a new name - but this year it's an old name.

I believe Austin starts his ascent today. I expect a solid day 5-6 catches and maybe a TD. And I don't think there is any looking back.

Now that doesn't mean Williams is irrelevant for the stretch run - just maybe limited. But hes' done a lot of good on few targets.

 

[LargeMouthBass]

Worthless.

Missed on this one - for today. The Dallas passing offense just isn't sharp.

 

[duaneok66]

Is this guys still alive?

What gives?

(No, don't bring up Miles Austin).

Anything to see from Williams tonight??

Too many mouths to feed + less than stellar passing offense in recent weeks = relatively no value.

Take tonight for instance, Romo and Orton combined for a mere 25 pass attempts even though DAL was trailing for a good portion of the game.

Also, look at the target distribution..

Murray - 5

Dez - 4

Austin - 4

Williams - 3

Witten - 3

Beasley - 3

He did a hell of a job for my team in October and I hope he develops into a legitimate #2 but he's a redraft afterthought at this point.

 

[Insein]

Almost a garbage time td. Dallas didn't waste time throwing the red flag with 10 seconds left though. I think he was in.

Also illegal or not allowed.

 

[Raiderfan32904]

Yeah I cut him a couple of weeks ago. If it weren't for the star next to the thread title, I'd have already forgotten about this guy. But thanks for that nice run in October! Miles Austin never worried me but the Cowboys offense has been sputtering for awhile now. Agree with others that he's an afterthought, and has no business being rostered now.

Oh yea. Good point. Guess they didn't care upstairs.

Rotoworld:

According to DallasCowboys.com's Bryan Broaddus, Terrance Williams (hamstring) might practice on Friday, and "could" play against the Redskins.
Williams was expected to miss Sunday's game after sitting out Wednesday and Thursday's practices, but Broaddus reports his injury is "more contusion on hamstring than hamstring pull." Williams hasn't been making a major box-score impact of late, but the Cowboys need all hands on deck as they attempt to salvage their NFC East hopes. Williams won't be a fantasy option if he suits up. His status will be updated on Friday.

Rotoworld:

ESPN Dallas believes it's "time" for Terrance Williams to take over as the Cowboys' clear-cut No. 2 receiver opposite Dez Bryant.

Miles Austin and his $5.5 million salary are going to be released, leaving Williams locked into a starting role. Cole Beasley and Dwayne Harris could battle for No. 3 duties, or the Cowboys may look to add a cheap veteran or a late-round pick to the mix. Either way, Williams will be worthy of a late-round fantasy flier as Tony Romo's No. 3 option in new "OC" Scott Linehan's pass-happy attack.

Rotoworld:

Terrance Williams is locked in as a starter following the release of Miles Austin.
Per the Dallas Morning News, the Cowboys were pleased with Williams' production and development last season. He posted a 44-736-5 line despite playing on just 700-of-1025 (68.2 percent) of the snaps last season. With Dez Bryant and Jason Witten hogging attention from defenses in Scott Linehan's pass-happy scheme, Williams is going to be a no-brainer breakout candidate.

[matttyl]

I was going to set his yearly yardage over/under at 1,000. I may still take the under, but not by much.

 

[Shutout]

I guess if Laurent Robinson can push fantasy teams into title games, this kid can too. Opportunity in fantasy is a lot bigger than most people talk about (people always talking about the "cream rising to the top" and "crazy athleticism and talent" but less often about falling into a great fit, like Moreno did).

He'll probably have every bit as good a year as any single New england receiver, Floyd in AZ, and other guys that will cost much more.

 

[cstu]

70/1000/8

Williams and Austin totaled 68/980/5 last year. While it's certainly possible I think it's on the high side with Dez, Witten and Murray to compete with for targets.

Targets last year-

Dez 159 (career high)

Witten 111 (lowest in at least 7 years)

Murray 66 (career high)

Williams 74

Austin 49 - totals 123, right between Victor Cruz and D Jax last year. Williams' targets went to a rookie, Austin all went to a hurt player pretty much.

Romo had over 100 fewer attempts last year as he did the previous year as well.

Williams can do a lot with 120+ targets, I think.

That's only 2/20/3 off of my projection, and Austin was awful this year, accounting for 0 of those TDs. The year before, Austin put up 66/943/6 (4/57/2 off my projection) despite playing hurt and missing large portions of a couple games. In 2011, Austin and L.Robinson accounted for 97/1,455/18 with 21 combined starts. 74/1100/13, per start, prorated to 16 games (4/100/5 over my projection).

And again, Romo has some lowish numbers last year. 80 fewer completions, with 1,100 fewer yards than the year prior. I know the year before were all greatly inflated numbers because of high attempt numbers and he had a career high in yards. 2013 was the first time he had less than 4,000 yards in a 16 game season in his career.

Last year Romo would have thrown the 2nd highest number of passes if he'd played against the Eagles and hit 4000 yards. 2012 was a fluke and he threw the ball 5 more times a game (40) than his career average (~35). I expect him to throw 560 times at 7.5 YPA for about 4200 yards.

I have 2400 of that going to Dez, Witten and Murray, leaving 1800 yards for everyone else. I think 70/1000/8 represents a high end projection and put him at 65/900/7.

Rotoworld:

The Cowboys' coaches reportedly have no reservations about Terrance Williams.

Williams is penned in as a starter opposite Dez Bryant. Although we've seen James Jones-ish talent, ESPN Dallas says Cowboys coaches believe Williams will slide into the role without issue, and don't believe the game is too big for him. It's a monster opportunity for box-score production thanks to the presence of pass-happy Scott Linehan and Dez Bryant's role as a weekly defensive magnet.

With the Dallas defense looking like it should be awful once again, seems like Williams could be poised for a nice season. I'll definitely take a flyer on him.

 

[cloppbeast]

I've been shopping Williams since Austin left. My league-mates won't offer more than a mid-second.

Agreed.

 

[Faust]

It is a combination of this draft class being unusually deep, and "shiny new toy" syndrome at work, which will likely prevent you from seeing a better offer.

 

[MAC_32]

I've been shopping Williams since Austin left. My league-mates won't offer more than a mid-second.

I think you're more likely to get better offers after he starts playing games. Be prepared for a slow start though. His schedule is front loaded with the NFC West, but it softens up as it goes. If he puts together a couple of games (i.e. primetime vs. New Orleans) once others see his playoff schedule then you may be able to cash in...you may also not want to.

Guy came into the league under developed, but by all accounts he has a great work ethic, so if the light bulb turns on this year he could breakout.

Williams has one of the better situations of the second year receivers in 2015. We've seen lesser players put up good numbers taking advantage of the WR2 role in Dallas. Hopefully Williams can do the same darn thing.

 

[nastynate]

WR35 going in the 7th/8th. Seems like a good value for a guy that's going to have a lot of opportunities in a pass heavy offense.
