ADVICE

Stash Antonio Williams Before His Breakout

  • Add Antonio Williams before Week 8 because Terry McLaurin’s absence should expand his role against vulnerable secondaries.
  • He ran routes on 73% of dropbacks without McLaurin, drew targets on 23% of routes, and nearly scored an 87-yard touchdown.
INSIGHT

Williams Has A Favorable Stretch Ahead

  • Washington’s upcoming schedule creates repeated opportunities for Williams to benefit from elevated target volume.
  • The Commanders face Philadelphia, Los Angeles, New York, Cincinnati, Arizona, Tennessee, Houston, Atlanta, Jacksonville, and Dallas.
ADVICE

Use Chris Rodriguez As A Late Lottery Ticket

  • Stash Chris Rodriguez as a late-season lottery ticket rather than chasing his Week 6 workload.
  • He has recorded six-plus carries in all but one game and leads Jacksonville’s backfield with 57 carries inside the five-yard line.
