They temporarily had two lines for "T. Williams", one with 5/28/0 and the other with 1/21/1. If not for the fact that I saw it on Red Zone, I would have been worried it was one of those John/Jaron Brown situations, and the Chargers had some backup TE named Thomas Williams.
Looks like that was the last rep he needed. He's working an elite CB right now and he's basically a rookie.
What's going to happen? He's going to be SD #1 next year too. That's what.
He is having a very nice game. However, he is still leaving yards on the field. He was targeted on another back shoulder sideline throw in the 3Q and failed to make the play, even though he got both hands on the ball. Even though he should have caught it, it was a positive sign that he at least recognized it was a back shoulder throw and got his hands on it, since he has had trouble with that in previous games.
I saw that play to. It seemed like he turned late on it. It was close to a catch. Houston is putting their #1 CB on him so at least Houston thinks he's SD best WR right now.
The Texans aren't covering him exclusively with one CB. I'm pretty sure he has been targeted with at least 4 different DBs in coverage on him. I assume who covers him is based on where he lines up.
He was targeted on an incompletion on which he went to the ground. He seemed to be holding his hand in pain as he walked off, but it wasn't clear exactly what happened.
My bad. I only saw the TD catch and one other catch. #21 was on him both those times and the back shoulder throw he should have caught as well.
one of the guys in my league did that to me when Reed first went down on Thursday. Reed of course came back and had a monster game. Post-game news updates of his condition notwithstanding. Hoping Williams is OK.
think it is just sour grapes because I took him at 7.01 in our Rookie/FA draft and at the time he claimed he was going to take him at 7.02
Dynasty folks, if you have people in your league that are in this mode, sell them Williams immediately.
He's improving in that area. In the beginning of the season he wouldn't attack the ball at all. He had a defender draped all over on that 21 yards TD catch but he didn't really have to attack the ball. It was more of a great pass by Rivers. Still had a great CB hanging on him when he caught it. He's super raw because he came from a small school and he is basically a rookie. It might be his superior athleticism and unique opportunity that's carrying him right now but he's still having an amazing season and he can improve his technique. I mean he's 24 years old. Good chance he ends the year with 75-1200-8 line.........It's crazy to me that people can actually spin that into he's leaving too much yards on the field to trust him but that particular poster is dialed into what's going on in SD so you have to respect that opinion.
Well, he never said the second part of the bolded statement.Milkman said:
Over the course of the last month or so I'd say he has but maybe that's just my interpretation. If I'm wrong I apologize.
For the record, there are actually three T. Williamses on the Chargers roster, though Tourek and Trevor both play defense
.If it helps, I have TW and Watkins (and Hilton) and I'm definitely starting Tyrell this week. It would take a really strong performance from Sammy to bump him out of my lineup at this point. Other than the Denver games, the guy has simply produced every week. And he has a great playoff schedule to boot.
How did he perform before with this injury compared to before? Never a good thing to be injured, but for us, it's good that there is at least a baseline here to better know how this is going to affect him.
Likely. But also in the realm of possibility is that he and the team go for the surgery now, given SD's chances at playoffs are near nil -- yes, they are not mathematically eliminated, still a lot of football to play, and Any Given Sunday, but not only are they deep down the list for a wildcard, they are also deep down the pile in their own division. If there's pain, or he simply is too limited to be anything but a decoy, why not shut him down?
I still like M Thomas in a shootout over Williams who will most likely play, although a risk. Like Sig, I won't talk you out of it. He's been hot! But so is Michael Thomas.
