WR Jameson Williams, DET (7 Viewers)

[rodalive]

The post count for this player is ridiculous, round and round we go...

 

[Jail]

I picked him up last year, albeit the hyper train was not as strong. Ended up randomly starting him out of necessity on an injury or bye week where he scored a long TD. Which was nice. But never consistently started.

Also… drafted A LOT of Gabe Davis last year based on what I remember being a very similar thread. And I can’t help but feel like the results may be eerily similar.

So you are comparing a guy who went to UCF to a guy who went to Alabama. A guy who was drafted 4.22 to a guy drafted 1.12. A guy who runs a 4.54 to a guy who runs a 4.20. Great comp.

Yes.

Good luck with that.

There's a huge difference between the players being similar and their end of year stats being similar.

Which is why I said “I can’t help but feel like the results may be eerily similar”.

You can't compare the 2. The hype on Davis was mostly based on his gradual increase in NFL production and the thought that he could take over as the primary target for an elite QB.

The hype in here is based on his elite athletic ability with a great college season in 2021 that got him drafted #12 overall. Oh yeah...he's been tearing it up in practice too.

Very different.

 

[TwinTurbo]

Jamo is so intriguing as a player, but he's the #4 weapon at best on that team (ARSB, Gibbs, Laporta), add in Montgomery likely seeing ample touches too, and it makes me skeptical of his production this season.

It's like saying the Lamborghini is the #4 car in your garage. Yeah it's gonna get driven.

This is very similar to the Gabe situation IN THESE THREADS. There was 1 or 2 posters in that thread that were in way over their head, and had the hype train going off the rails. Suggesting even to take him round 4... just like a poster in here is suggesting taking Jamo around that spot.

The hype they're posting in here is just so absurd, that it almost makes you want to cheer against him. However, I own a ton of him but can control myself a bit more than others, and have him around WR30.

But boy, were those pumpers ever wrong on Gabe and it was glaringly obvious before the season started that they were going to be wrong. Just like it's glaringly obvious that jon's projections are going to be wrong as he basically said his floor was WR20 and has him in the mid teens at worst in his rankings.

Jamo is (hopefully) going to have an awesome year and end up between WR25-36 as a WR3 that you can grab in rounds 9/10. There's zero need to draft him in rounds 5-8 or to expect him to produce like a WR 1/2.

It's like saying the Lamborghini is the #4 car in your garage. Yeah it's gonna get driven.

It's like old adage goes, I would rather roster him and see him blow up on my bench than in someone elses starting line up. If he does not work out by mid-season, easy drop for the flavor of the day.

 

[Wigglytuff's Gruff]

It's like saying the Lamborghini is the #4 car in your garage. Yeah it's gonna get driven.

It's not quite like that though.

More so it's like saying the Lambo that has broken down a lot of times and needed some work done on it is the #4 car in your garage, sure you might feel tempted to drive it every now and then, but at some point you just want to get in your reliable Toyota or Lexus and not have to worry about whether the temperamental motor is going to actually work.

Saying that you did take the Lambo to a good mechanic this time round so there's more hope the problems might have been fixed properly.

Gabe Davis caught 4 TDs in a Playoff game, that's hard to do

 

[TLEF316]

Took him as my WR3 tonight in a 12 team 1/2 PPR. Round 8, pick 93. Was hoping to get Jayden Reed instead, but he went a few picks earlier. Snagged Hopkins in the next round and he'll probably be startable if things dont work out.

So....all aboard I guess.

 

[Chaos34]

took him 10.2 earlier today

fbg home league

 

[Lansdowne]

Jamo and Davis are worlds apart talent wise IMO. The similarity that was being expressed, and the fear of Jamo, is that like Davis, he might be a high variance type of WR. Peaks and valleys. Where if he doesn’t catch a long bomb for a TD he may get you nothing that week. That’s certainly possible.

The safe comp would be Shaheed, which I’d consider his floor. Perhaps he’s a more advanced version of the high variance archetype, like DeSean Jackson. But I’m inclined to believe he’s more than simply a deep threat. He’s a complete receiver. I personally had him as the best WR of his draft class, and maybe this is take lock but I still believe he’s got the highest ceiling out of all of them. So I definitely get the optimism. We’ll see if he puts it all together this season. He’s still very young at 23 and hopefully has a lot of great football ahead of him.

 

[Ray_T]

he might be a high variance type of WR. Peaks and valleys

I suspect that is exactly what he will be. 100 yards one week. 15 yards the next. the guy is vulnerable to the Jam at the line. I know hes improved on that some but I suspect the elite coverage guys who jam at the line will still be able to more or less shut him down. teams without that elite coverage guy who jams at the line will be a lot more vulnerable to his skill. It will be interesting to see his game evolve I must admit. I'm hoping he can take the next step. dude got such a raw deal coming to camp as a rookie with an ACL injury to rehab. set his development back a fair bit. He still has a good chance to make it right but it needs to happen this year. after this year, the opportunity wont be as great for him as it was up to this point.

Gabe Davis averages about a TD every other start
In 2022 he had a 98-yd catch for a TD
The last 2 seasons he has averaged 48/800/7TDs
And this season he'll finally have a decent Quarterback to work with

Only 10 days until all the Jamo skeptics are totally embarrassed.

You think teams will have their elite coverage guys on him and not on ARSB?

 

[Gally]

I took him in the FBG Bowl draft as WR49 at Pick 9.08 (12 team) as my WR4 behind ARSB, Collins, & Ridley. Hoping he supplants Ridley or overtakes one of Jacobs, Walker, Jones or Mostert for a flex spot.

 

[urbanhack]

He just went 9.2 in FBG Home League 16.

 

[Smack Tripper]

I own him and regret it. Passed on the likes of Levis for him

they wont. but some teams have more than one good cover guy.

its the ones who are particularly good at press coverage and Jamming at the line that have historically given Williams some trouble. once he gets to a point where hes running a route on the open field its a different game for Williams.

 

[BIRDGANG52]

We still arguing about just how awesome Jamo is gonna be this year? I'm starting him as a flex guy in a deep dynasty and as my WR3/FLEX in the 18 team league I'm in, lol.


Only two teams I've drafted so far. I'll take him in the FLEX all day. I have high expectations.

I'm guessing Tre'Davious White will cover him week one. So we'll soon see.

Get back to me after week 4 how you 'regret' it.

Quit being a jerk. It is fantay football. People can have different opinions and not check back with you about regretting it or not. You are the only one keeping
receipts here

Be more cool to people. He can say you won't regret it.

Everyone get this way more back to the NFL and less about little middle school slap fights.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Well, I’m 0/5 on Jameson tries for redraft.

Last draft of the SZN on Sat at 11:45 AM at my house. Gonna try hard to land him. Wish me luck!

true. literally only 5 or 6 have an elite one.
but you dont have to be elite to be good at jamming the WR at the line. Elite cover guys are sometimes fast and have ball skills and coverage skills but wont jam you at the line.

its a skillset that some guys who are not elite actually have. problem with those types is when you beat the jam, you are open.

 

[Smack Tripper]

Get back to me after week 4 how you 'regret' it.

Lets o/u his week 4 stats

I'm going with

13 catches
180 yards
1 TD

You tell me his 4 week line and lets compare.

Should be around 17-275-2....throw in a few runs for about 40 yards.

And let's also see where the likes of guys like Levis are in the QB hierarchy. There should be waiver wire QB's that are just as appealing.

And it is not like they are not jamming Jamo in practice and he is routinely beating it. Carlton Davis has talked numerous times how difficult it is to cover Jamo and how it is making him better to practice against him.

Seeing Maturation, Lions 'Expect Big Things' from Jameson Williams​

Lions have seen a more professional approach from former first-round pick.

Jameson Williams is a player that has matured and is poised for a breakout season for the Detroit Lions.

Speaking to reporters, Lions assistant general manager Ray Agnew and general manager Brad Holmes both expressed how the 23-year-old is attacking playing in the NFL more like a professional.

"First of all, I think you can see the growth, tremendous growth in this kid as a player and a person. I think he’s attacking the game the way he should attack it now, like a professional," said Agnew. "His route-running has improved, catching the ball has improved. He’s an exciting kid to watch play, and I’m expecting big things out of him this year and I’m sure he is, too. I know how the kid’s built, and I know how he’s wired. There’s no lack of confidence, so this kid – expect big things out of this kid.”

The former Alabama Crimson Tide wideout rehabbed from a torn ACL his rookie season, and missed part of his second season due to violating NFL rules.

Holmes expressed that the speedy wideout faced adversity, but was able to push forward and learn from his mistakes.

There’s no lack of confidence, so this kid – expect big things out of this kid.”

The former Alabama Crimson Tide wideout rehabbed from a torn ACL his rookie season, and missed part of his second season due to violating NFL rules.

Holmes expressed that the speedy wideout faced adversity, but was able to push forward and learn from his mistakes.


“I’ll just say on Jamo, too, and not just him specifically, but in a lot of different situations, it happens in life often that you think you’re encountering a setback, and it ends up being a blessing in disguise a little bit," Holmes said. "I think those first two years, we knew that he was going to be recovering from his injury that first year, so we knew that. But then, he had another hurdle the second year, but those two years, he showed tremendous growth. Showed tremendous growth as a person and a player, and so I see it as, actually it’s been a good thing because now he’s out there and you can clearly see the maturation in his game. And, it’s just been a joy to see this year.

“I’m sure you guys have talked to him already and he’s told you that he had to mature a lot and you saw that. We do a lot of research and background on all of these players that we acquire, and we had a good sense of who Jamo was as a person, but we definitely felt comfortable that he was going to be a fit for us, and he’s shown the growth. When we drafted him, we said, ‘He’s going to need to grow up a little bit.’ And he did, so it’s been right on pace.”

Having veteran leaders like Jared Goff and Kalif Raymond, along with a role model in Amon-Ra St. Brown, has also contributed to Williams' development as a player and as a person.

"Oh yeah, you can clearly tell he’s put the work in and he’s been working even harder. It means something to him. This kid loves football. I mean, he loves football, and I think it’s very evident in the results that you saw this training camp that the work that he’s put in," said Holmes. "Just like Ray (Agnew) was saying, the route-running, everything, just him working with (receivers coach Antwaan Randle) El, working with (Jared) Goff, just doing all those things in the offseason in preparation. And, he’s got some good guys in that room. Obviously, you have an elite player like (Amon-Ra) St. Brown, and forget the performance, but how his intangibles are and Kalif Raymond. He’s got really good guys to look upon and follow. But, he’s seen how they work, but you can see the results that’s shown in camp.”

I'm a dynasty owner and gave up a decent amount to get the pick to draft him. So I hope he explodes.

That said, I'll be glad when the season starts and I can actually come into this thread to see news.

True, but still not as bad as the Brandon Aiyuk thread.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Ended up taking him as my WR6 last night
Not expecting immediate returns but would be happy if he can fill in on Bye Weeks
In general just nail down that last spot end of my bench

-It was a double digit round, seemed like a decent gamble

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Yeah, yeah I'm up.

Those last two picks were gut punches.

I'mma take a few minutes to recalibrate.

I’ll say. I think you are lost

Sorry, it's been a whirlwind.

“It happens in life often that you think you’re encountering a setback, and it ends up being a blessing in disguise a little bit,” Holmes explained. “I think those first two years, we knew that he was going to be recovering from his injury that first year, so we knew that. But then he had another hurdle the second year, but those two years, he showed tremendous growth. Showed tremendous growth as a person and a player and so I see it as, actually it’s been a good thing because now he’s out there and you can clearly see the maturation in his game, and it’s just been a joy to see this year.”

Mentally, Williams has become a much more focused athlete. Early in his Lions career, the attention to detail was off, and he publicly dismissed any criticism of his play. But it’s clear the struggles in his first two years resulted in a wake up call for the (still only) 23-year-old receiver.

“I think I’ve matured a lot more,” Williams said. “Coming in the league, I still had some childish ways. Wanted to do what I wanted to do, and how I wanted to do it. Sometimes you got to listen, and just be on the right track. Follow the right path, and you’ll be down the right way in just a sec.”

Lions believe 2 rocky seasons were ‘blessing in disguise’ for Jameson Williams

 

[satch]

Wouldn’t surprise me if Jameson finishes as a WR2, but it would be in textbook boom bust fashion. One week he goes off for 5/175/2, the next three weeks 6/78/0 combined, followed by a 3/110/1 game, etc, repeat.

 

[Deamon]

First off getting him as the 46th WR off the board is insane value IMO

Just took him as wr45 at the 9.11 of the FBg home league.

I know you did. No need to spike the ball.

 

[TVT 0 N S T A]

12 team PPR and I took him at 11.07. I was thin at WR - Pickens, ARSB, Coleman, Legette in a start 2.

I avoided him in round 10 because of ARSB being on my team but thought it was decent value.

I know he is better than the WR55 and I think 60-70 receptions with 15YPC is the floor. I'm more skeptical on LaPorta's ADP than Jamo. Getting a WR2 in the 11th round is nuts, especially when you're talking about a #2 on a top 5 (projected) offense.

Jameson Williams to ESPN on Year 3 goals:“I just want to have the most yds and TDs – that would be my personal goals. Out of the whole NFL, I want to have the most receiving yds and TDs. It don’t matter about catches, because I know what I’m gonna do when I get the ball.”

Might have to downgrade him to WR#2 in PPR leagues.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Missed him by 1 pick on Saturday in my home league.

Picking at 1 sucks like that.

We lost two members of my 25-year-old league this year and we're down to 10 teams. It's superflex 16 round draft and it's so weird because 32 fewer players were selected and I am not used to seeing so much talent sitting on the waiver wire, including Jameson Williams. It's driving me nuts.

This is confusing though...

He's got to still be in the top 160 players even in SF.

With a 16 Round Draft, I would expect that everyone would at least have 4-5 WRs.... How many WR's were taken in the draft?

We combine the WR & TE positions as well.

56 total WR/TEs were drafted.

My receivers are:
CeeDee
Rashee
Nabers
Jayden Reed
McLaurin

Who would you drop for Williams?

I only carry one K and one Team Defense.

The only possible drop IMO is my #3 QB, Russel Wilson. He is effectively dead weight because Goff & Love are my starters but I hate, hate, hate not having a third QB rostered in SF formats.

Hmmm, that's tough. How many of those 56 are tight ends?

 

[barackdhouse]

My two big home leagues drafted this weekend. I took him as my WR5 at 12.09 in one and in my auction I got him for $5 out of a $200 budget as my WR8 (I guess)

That auction I ended up with Metcalf 39, Flowers 12, Dell 12, McLaurin 6, B Thomas 5, Jameson 5, Doubs 2 and Puka as my keeper for 10 (we get one per year)

Dalton Kincaid was also undrafted, as was Diontae Johnson, although Adam Thielen was drafted. It's definitely not a Shark Pool league.

By the time I saw value in drafting Jameson it was round 14 and I only had one position player slot left open (rounds 15 & 16 I needed a K and a D). I figure you go for big upside guys in that spot and I opted for Jordan Mason who I consider a potential league winner over Jameson who I think can maybe turn into a mid WR2 this season.
