"By the end of the year, we really felt like he was coming into his own," Campbell said. Williams saw his playing time increase over the latter part of last season after he was suspended the first month of the year.
Jameson Williams remained sidelined from practice on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Williams has opened the week missing back-to-back practices after leaving the Lions game early this past weekend. It is possible he sits with this week with Detroit not having much to play for.
Jameson Williams hauled in two of his three targets for 69 yards while also rushing once for six yards before exiting with an apparent ankle injury in the Lions' 20-19 Week 17 loss to the Dallas Cowboys.
Fantasy Impact
Williams has continue to receive increased volume as part of a high-octane Detroit offensive attack, finishing with at least 43 receiving yards on at least three targets in each of the last three games for the Lions. The dynamic wideout's status will be one to monitor ahead of a Week 18 home contest against the Minnesota Vikings with the possibility Detroit may be resting key players ahead of the team's postseason appearance.
Jameson Williams caught five of his six targets for 43 yards in the Lions' 30-24 win over the Minnesota Vikings in Week 16.
Fantasy Impact
Williams has seen increased involvement as part of the Detroit passing game of late, finishing with at least four receptions on at least six targets in each of his last two games for the Lions. The second-year wideout offers an intriguing option with plenty of upside against a tough Dallas Cowboys pass defense in Week 17.
Jameson Williams hauled in four of his seven targets for 47 yards in the Lions' 42-17 Week 15 win over the Denver Broncos.
Fantasy Impact
Williams made the most of his increased involvement in the Detroit passing attack Saturday night, seeing more than three targets for the first time in his last seven games for the Lions. The athletic pass-catcher carries plenty of game-breaking potential, but will need more consistent involvement to translate that into steady output for fantasy managers, with a Week 16 contest against the Minnesota Vikings on the road up next.
