Detroit Lions WR Jameson Williams is expected to make a push to be a full-time starter in 2024 after he appeared to be "coming into his own" at the end of the 2023 season, according to head coach Dan Campbell.
Huddle Up: An ACL injury in college mostly derailed any chance Williams had of contributing as a rookie in 2022 before a season-opening suspension mostly short-circuited any chance he had of contributing early in 2023. While his 24-354-2 line last season was not the stuff of legend, he started to show signs of being a potentially good sidekick for Amon-Ra St. Brown as the season concluded. Assuming he can enjoy a low-profile offseason for the first time as a pro, Williams stands a great chance at being a quality bench option in fantasy with significant upside.

The Detroit Lions and WR Amon-Ra St. Brown are in talks about a contract extension that would be for at least three years and about $25 million annually, per source on Thursday, Feb. 15.
Huddle Up: St. Brown has gotten better and better each year and has quietly become one of the better players at his position in the league. St. Brown had a career-best campaign in 2023 that saw him tally 119 receptions for 1,515 yards, which led to him ranking as WR3 overall. He's a WR1 moving forward.
