Jameson Williams Eligible To Return In Week 5

Jameson Williams Eligible To Return In Week 5

one year ago

The NFL is reinstating Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams on Monday, two weeks before his gambling suspension was set to end, according to sources. It comes as part of the newly agreed to policies related to gambling. Williams will now be eligible to make his 2023 debut against the Carolina Panthers in Week 5. The 22-year-old was originally scheduled to be suspended for the first six games of the season, so fantasy managers that had been stashing him get a welcomed surprise. The speedy deep threat will add another weapon to an already exciting Lions offense. Williams will inevitably take away targets from Amon-Ra St. Brown, Josh Reynolds and rookie tight end Sam LaPorta, with Reynolds being the biggest loser. Williams has also dealt with injuries early in his career, but when healthy, he could be a game-changer for Detroit. Scoop him up now if he's available in your league.
