Maximum Overkill 2,219 Posted Sunday at 03:49 AM Williams and the Lions agreed Saturday on a three-year, $83 million contract extension with $67 million guaranteed, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports. Williams broke out with a career-best campaign in 2024, recording 58 catches for 1,001 yards and seven touchdowns while rushing 11 times for 61 yards and another touchdown over 15 regular-season contests. Detroit picked up the Alabama product's fifth-year option in late April, and the sides have now agreed upon a deal that will keep Williams with the team for at least three more campaigns. Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jared Goff are signed through 2028, so the trio is slated to work together for the foreseeable future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully they know something that we don't know. Probably a good sign for Dynasty owners. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
polecatt 484 Posted Sunday at 01:53 PM It's his ypc. Guys that average almost 18 ypc are a rare breed in the modern NFL. It's not the 1960s. One of the things teams will spend on are big plays. Rashid Shaheed in New Orleans will likely get a similar payday when it's time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think he's good enough to be their WR1 if they ever needed him to be that, but that'll never happen as long as Amon Ra is there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Obviously he's not gonna take the WR1 spot from Amon Ra, and that's just fine. He's the big play guy. It's best for him to have a WR1 like that to take coverage off him so he can get open downfield. In my league with a big long ball bonus, he's worth his weight in gold! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's really old school fantasy football format added into the modern day. Very fun! A guy like him can get you a big score each week in a single play Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It adds another wrinkle to consider when picking players. It's 40-49 yd TDs are 12 pts, and 50+ yards is 15 pts. At first I thought it was out of balance, but after playing it for several seasons, it's really not considering most players only have one or two plays like that at most a season. Considering how valuable big plays like that are, makes sense. I remember Desean Jackson was the top WR in our league one season when he had like 5 or 6 TDs over 50 yds in a season.
