4 targets last week w/o Pickens. Is that enough to get you excited?

Well since you put it that way….
He also played a limited amount of snaps which could be a product of being newer to the team. Tomlin said to expect his participation to increase. Whatever his target to routes run percentage was solid last game.

I hope /\this/\ isn't the reason. He's been there over a month.
At this rate he won't be fully up to speed until... August???

What a rapid dropoff for Williams. in 2018-2023, he averaged 60.4 receiving yards and 0.4 TDs per game, which scales to 1027/7 over 17 games. He did that while averaging 15.8 ypr. Those aren't world beating numbers, but those are solid WR2 numbers (in real NFL life, not talking fantasy).
The problem was staying on the field. Is there any reason to believe he can stay healthy and available in 2025? If so, he certainly has chemistry with Herbert, and, as of right now, he is the best X WR on the roster, which could mean he could be the Chargers WR2, with McConkey as WR1 and Johnston as WR3 and playing a lot more Z than X, which better suits his game.
The Chargers have a lot of needs that I expect will take priority over WR in the draft (Edge, IDL, G, C, TE, RB). As a Chargers fan, I'm not super comfortable counting on Mike to be a top 2 WR this year, but that is the current situation, so it is possible.

I agree, having Williams doesn't stop them from doing that. But I think the huge needs they have will prioritize all of Edge, IDL, C, G higher, and to a lesser degree TE and RB as well.
For whatever reason, they have chosen so far not to address these needs in free agency other than to sign RB Harris. As things stand, it would surprise me if they draft a WR earlier than the 3rd, and in this draft, I think they would have to get lucky to draft a starting top 2 WR in the 3rd or later.
