Updating a previous story, Las Vegas Raiders WR Tyrell Williams was released Wednesday, Feb. 24.
Huddle Up: Williams didn't play last season due to injury so there's no production to be redistributed. WR Nelson Agholor is set for unrestricted free agency, so Henry Ruggs III, Hunter Renfrow and Bryan Edwards are in line to be the top options in the Raiders' passing game next season.

Las Vegas Raiders WR Tyrell Williams will be released at the start of the new league year, according to a source.
Huddle Up: Williams missed the entire 2020 season because of an injury and did not live up to the big contract he signed two years ago. He is a solid receiver when healthy and should receive interest from multiple teams. Williams likely will have some fantasy value in 2021.

Las Vegas Raiders WR Tyrell Williams (feet) is 'over the hump' with his plantar fasciitis issue but is continuing to do daily maintenance.
Huddle Up: Luckily, Williams hasn't missed any meaningful offseason work due to the issue. He's projected as the starter opposite rookie Henry Ruggs III, but there are plenty of bodies competing for targets with Hunter Renfrow, Nelson Agholor and Bryan Edwards also in the mix. Williams shouldn't be taken higher than a WR4.

Oakland Raiders WR Tyrell Williams (foot) recently told head coach Jon Gruden that he was close to 100 percent recovered from the plantar fasciitis he dealt with last season, Gruden said Thursday, Feb. 27.
Huddle Up: Williams started 2019 on fire with a touchdown catch and at least 11.9 PPR points in each of his first five games played but only reached those standards once in his final nine contests as his foot issues really began to take their toll. Don't be surprised if the Raiders add another wideout this offseason and Williams becomes more of a WR3/4 fantasy option.
