INSIGHT

Williams' Production Was Efficiency-Driven

Jameson Williams' 2024 production relied on extreme efficiency rather than steady volume.
Sustaining WR2 value requires either repeat efficiency or a clear increase in target share, both uncertain in Detroit.

ADVICE

Use Williams As A Boom-Or-Bust Flex

Bet on Jameson Williams as a high-upside WR3/flex at his ADP rather than a guaranteed WR2.
Draft him when you want boom-week potential, not week-to-week floor.

INSIGHT

Reed's Efficiency Versus Snap Limitations

Jayden Reed's efficiency has been strong but his snap share is limited by two-receiver sets.
Adding speed depth like Matthew Golden likely keeps Reed in three- or four-WR subpackages, capping volume.
