2023 Fantasy Outlook
Injuries kept Williams from making the impact many expected last season, as he already had synergy with Caleb Williams from their time shared in Oklahoma. Although he had a few impressive games and ended the season with 631 yards and five touchdowns, his full potential wasn’t reached. If Williams is 100 percent, Williams could end up leapfrogging his teammates and claim the top spot at the position. Williams’ only concern is his size - at only 5-9, he needs to rely on his speed and ability to get open. He’s not the type of player Williams can depend on for the 50/50 ball. Read Past Outlooks
Commits to Tulane
Williams announced his commitment to Tulane on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Williams logged 29 receptions for 305 yards (10.5 averaged per reception) and two touchdowns during USC's 2023 team. It was his worst as a collegiate athlete thus far. Unlike most receivers currently committed to or enrolled at Tulane, Williams has multiple seasons of good football with Power Five schools. Before transferring to USC, he logged 35 receptions for 380 yards and four touchdowns as part of Oklahoma's football team. Immediately following his enrollment at USC during 2022, Williams recorded 40 receptions for 631 yards (15.8 averaged per reception) and five touchdowns. Tulane's hope is that he can replicate and perhaps even exceed the aforementioned output in 2024.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
Williams’ stock took a hit when Jordan Addison chose USC as his transfer destination but don’t let him fall too far in your drafts. Talented in his own right and with established chemistry with Caleb Williams, he will be a factor. This Williams was a highly rated recruit in the 2021 class who caught 35 of 48 targets with four scores despite competing in a loaded Sooner receiving group. He’ll still have competition for targets in LA, but Williams and his familiarity with the system and chemistry with his quarterback make him a viable starting receiver.
