Mike Williams will must purchase the lead function within the Los Angeles Chargers‘ passing game after Keenan Allen suffered a aid injury Monday night in opposition to the Contemporary Orleans Saints.
Williams continued two underwhelming seasons after the Chargers selected him seventh overall in 2017. He become as soon as injured as a rookie and caught completely 11 passes, while his production in 2018 quiet fell looking what one would’ve anticipated in line alongside with his collegiate occupation and draft space.
A breakout of forms arrived in 2019 as he carried out with 49 receptions, 1,001 yards and two touchdowns.
Williams’ delusion worth become as soon as critically unlit coming into the 2020 season with the Chargers turning the offense over to 1 amongst Tyrod Taylor or Justin Herbert. The presence of Allen furthermore raised questions about his volume of targets, a more pressing disaster in point-per-reception leagues.
Williams’ 2020 numbers haven’t brought a lot readability to the topic. Entering Monday, he had caught seven passes for 100 yards.
With Allen out of the image, the outmoded Clemson enormous name becomes a moderately more piquant delusion asset.
The equivalent can now no longer be acknowledged of Jalen Guyton, although his production (5 receptions, 125 yards and two touchdowns) has outpaced that of Williams.
His playing time will absolutely upward push unless Allen returns, however Guyton is essentially, at most productive, the No. 3 option within the aerial attack within the aid of Williams and Hunter Henry. For now, or now no longer it is laborious to witness how he’ll earn ample touches to be a meaningful contributor in same old leagues.
