Mike Williams NEWS
Mike Williams Has Chance To Play Next Week
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (back) has an "outside chance" to play in the Divisional Round, assuming the team advances that far, according to a report from NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. Williams appeared in 13 games this year, which was the lowest mark since his rookie season. The 28-year-old totaled 63 catches, 895 yards, and four touchdowns. He'll be a strong DFS option once he returns in the playoffs, but until then, look for Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter to see more snaps alongside Keenan Allen.
Jan 15, 2023 • 2:11 AM | RotoBallerMike Williams Out 2-3 Weeks With Back Fracture
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (back) suffered a small non-surgical fracture in his back in the Week 18 regular season finale that is expected to keep him out for the next two to three weeks, according to sources. It means that barring a Chargers Super Bowl run, Williams' season is likely over. Head coach Brandon Staley is probably wishing he didn't play his starters so deep into a meaningless game last Sunday. With Williams out for the foreseeable future, it makes quarterback Justin Herbert slightly less attractive in playoff leagues, while Keenan Allen should be a target hog in this offense. Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter will also have bigger roles and are absolutely worth a look as low-cost DFS sleeper selections.
Jan 13, 2023 • 5:37 PM | RotoBallerMike Williams Ruled Out For Wild-Card Game
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (back) has been ruled out for the wild-card game on Saturday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Williams didn't practice at all this week and was listed as questionable on the final injury report on Thursday, but he has since been downgraded to out. Head coach Brandon Staley curiously played the starters late into a meaningless Week 18 contest last week, and he paid the price with Williams getting hurt. If the Bolts get past the Jags this weekend, it's unclear if Williams would be able to make it back for the Divisional Round. With Williams out, it puts a damper on quarterback Justin Herbert's fantasy appeal, while top wideout Keenan Allen should be a target hog. Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter also become interesting DFS sleeper plays.
Jan 13, 2023 • 5:16 PM | RotoBallerMike Williams Questionable Against Jaguars
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (back) did not participate in Thursday's practice and is officially questionable for the wild-card game this Saturday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Head coach Brandon Staley says there's a genuine chance that Williams plays despite not practicing this week, and Staley confirmed that Williams will travel with the squad. The team will likely wait until closer to game-time before making a final decision. The 28-year-old appears to be risky DFS option considering he's not 100 percent healthy heading into this game. Fantasy managers should check back for another update on Williams.
Jan 12, 2023 • 11:21 PM | RotoBallerMike Williams Does Not Practice On Wednesday
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (back) did not participate in the team's practice on Wednesday. Williams suffered a back injury during the Chargers' Week 18 contest and should be considered questionable to suit up against the Jacksonville Jaguars in the Wild Card round of the playoffs. Head coach Brandon Staley expressed on Monday that he expects the 28-year-old to practice at some point ahead of Saturday's matchup, so Williams' activity will be worth monitoring throughout the rest of the week.
Jan 11, 2023 • 11:26 PM | RotoBallerMike Williams Sits Out Tuesday's Walkthrough
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (back) was listed as a non-participant in Tuesday's walkthrough practice. Williams suffered a back injury in the Week 18 regular season finale and had to be carted to the locker room. However, X-rays came back negative and the 28-year-old is believed to be dealing with nothing more than a back contusion. Head coach Brandon Staley said on Monday that he thinks Williams will be able to practice at some point this week. Still, it casts some doubt about how healthy he'll actually be in the wild-card game this Saturday against the Jacksonville Jaguars if he's active. As long as Williams practices on Wednesday or Thursday, he should be active, but then the question becomes: Should fantasy managers trust him?
Jan 11, 2023 • 3:58 AM | RotoBallerMike Williams Expected To Practice This Week
Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said that wide receiver Mike Williams' (back) MRI exam showed no fractures or muscle injuries in his back. Williams is dealing with a contusion, and Staley expects him to return to practice at some point this week. It's great news for the 28-year-old after he was injured in a meaningless Week 18 regular season finale against the Denver Broncos on Sunday. Williams finished the regular season with 63 catches on 93 targets for 895 yards and four touchdowns in 13 games played, and he'll be a critical part of the Bolts offense on wild-card weekend against the Jacksonville Jaguars if he's able to play. If he's limited at all or inactive, Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter would handle bigger roles behind Keenan Allen.
Jan 9, 2023 • 9:01 PM | RotoBallerX-Rays Negative On Mike Williams
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (back) suffered a back injury in the Week 18 loss to the Denver Broncos and was seen limping out of the locker room after the game, barely able to put any weight on his left side. X-rays at the stadium came back negative, but his lower-back injury will be further evaluated on Monday. Head coach Brandon Staley made the questionable decision to play his starters on Sunday in a meaningless game -- the Chargers had already locked up the No. 5 seed in the AFC playoffs. Although his X-rays were negative, it doesn't mean that Williams will be ready to play in the wild-card round this weekend against the Jacksonville Jaguars, which would be a big loss for the offense. If Big Mike is unavailable, Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter will have bigger roles alongside target hog Keenan Allen.
Jan 9, 2023 • 5:43 PM | RotoBallerMike Williams Carted Off In Week 18
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (back) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup against the Broncos. It's a meaningless game for LA, although head coach Brandon Staley opted to keep his starters on the field longer than expected. However, it resulted in a back injury for Williams, who left the bench on a cart. Despite the designation, the wideout is likely done for the day. If that's the case, he'll finish four catches for 32 yards. Hopefully, the injury isn't anything severe, especially with the postseason on the horizon.
Jan 8, 2023 • 11:06 PM | RotoBallerMike Williams Good To Go Against Titans
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (ankle) practiced in full all week and carries no injury designation into Sunday's Week 15 game against the Tennessee Titans. Williams is putting his ankle injury in the rearview mirror and is a must-start wideout in all fantasy formats. He'll have WR1 upside in a matchup against a banged-up Titans secondary that just got torched by second-year quarterback Trevor Lawrence in Week 14. They have allowed the most half-PPR points per game to opposing wide receivers this year, so Williams and Keenan Allen should be eating this weekend. After returning from a two-game absence last week, the 28-year-old Williams caught all six of his targets for 116 yards and his fourth touchdown of the year in nine games.
Dec 17, 2022 • 12:08 AM | RotoBallerMike Williams Practicing In Full
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (ankle) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. Williams returned to action in the Week 14 win over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday night for the first time since aggravating his sprained ankle in Week 11 and caught all six of his targets for 116 yards and a touchdown. It was Williams' fourth 100-yard game of the season and his fourth time visiting the end zone in 2022. He looks to be getting healthier and should be fine to play this weekend against an extremely vulnerable Tennessee Titans secondary. As long as he doesn't suffer a setback in practice later this week, the 28-year-old should be in all fantasy starting lineups in Week 15.
Dec 15, 2022 • 5:46 AM | RotoBallerMike Williams Will Suit Up In Week 14
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (ankle) has been removed from the team's injury report and is set to suit up for a Week 14 showdown with the Miami Dolphins. Williams had been sidelined since re-aggravating his ankle injury in Week 11 but returned to full practice participation this week. The Dolphins' defense has been solid against opposing wide receivers this season, but Williams will still be an enticing fantasy WR2/flex option with Sunday night's contest currently having the highest-projected point total of the week.
Dec 9, 2022 • 9:45 PM | RotoBallerMike Williams Upgraded To Full Practice
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (ankle) was upgraded to full during Thursday's practice. The 28-year-old has been sidelined the last two weeks after re-aggravating his ankle injury in Week 11. It appears Williams is trending in the right direction for the Week 14 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Obviously, there is certainly high risk with starting Williams in fantasy leagues. However, he does have strong WR2 value for this contest. The Chargers desperately need a win and having Williams on the field will certainly help their chances. Fantasy managers should check back again after Friday's practice to see if his status changes at all.
Dec 8, 2022 • 11:45 PM | RotoBallerMike Williams Set To Practice This Week
Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley labeled wide receiver Mike Williams (ankle) as "day-to-day" and stated that he will return to practice this week. Williams, who has been sidelined for the past two weeks after re-aggravating his ankle injury in Week 11, was listed as limited on the Chargers' estimated practice report on Wednesday as the team held a walkthrough. Fantasy managers should monitor injury reports throughout the week, but this is an encouraging sign that Williams could suit up for a potential shootout against the Miami Dolphins in Week 14.
Dec 7, 2022 • 11:08 PM | RotoBallerMike Williams Ruled Out Against Raiders
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (ankle) has officially been ruled out for the Week 13 divisional clash against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. Williams will miss his second straight game after aggravating an ankle sprain. Keenan Allen is back healthy and should serve as a target hog in this offense, but both Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter should continue to play big roles in the passing game with Williams sidelined. Carter had his best game of the season in the Week 12 win over the Arizona Cardinals catching seven of his 10 targets for 73 yards (all season-highs) for his third touchdown of the year. He has scored in two of the last three weeks. Fantasy managers will be hoping Williams can return next week to face the Miami Dolphins on Sunday night.
Dec 3, 2022 • 12:13 AM | RotoBallerMike Williams Misses Practice On Thursday
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (ankle) did not suit up for practice on Thursday. The good news is, Williams was working on the side with trainers, so it appears he's making progress. Despite that, Williams is viewed on the downside of questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Keenan Allen is a must-start with Williams out, while Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter could be possible streaming options for Week 13. Fantasy managers should check back on Friday to see if Williams is able to return to practice.
Dec 1, 2022 • 11:52 PM | RotoBallerMike Williams Misses Another Practice
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (ankle) was not at practice on Wednesday. Williams didn't practice at all last week and was held out of the Week 12 win over the Arizona Cardinals. The 28-year-old still has two more days to get back on the practice field, but he's not off to a good start this week. Williams is a must-start fantasy wideout when he's healthy in this strong Chargers offense, but he's trending towards being questionable for a divisional clash with the Las Vegas Raiders this Sunday. If he's out or limited, the Chargers will continue to roll with Keenan Allen, Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter as their top three receivers. Allen is a must-start regardless, but Palmer and Carter would both remain attractive flex plays for fantasy managers if Williams misses another contest.
Dec 1, 2022 • 1:01 AM | RotoBallerMike Williams Ruled Out Against Cardinals
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (ankle) has officially been ruled out for the Week 12 game against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. Williams returned in the Week 11 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs but suffered a setback with his high-ankle sprain and will miss another game this weekend. It remains to be seen if he'll be able to make it back in Week 13 to face the Las Vegas Raiders. With Big Mike out, Keenan Allen, Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter will be the Bolts' top three receivers for quarterback Justin Herbert. Williams has 38 catches on 60 targets for 510 yards and three touchdowns in eight games so far in 2022, but his ankle injury could slow him down the rest of the way.
Nov 25, 2022 • 10:59 PM | RotoBallerMike Williams Doesn't Practice Thursday
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (ankle) didn't suit up for practice on Thursday. The 28-year-old re-aggravated his ankle sprain that he suffered in Week 11. Head coach Brandon Staley mentioned that the team is taking things day-to-day with Williams. Fantasy managers will have to wait and see if Williams practices on Friday. He'd be a low-end WR2 for the upcoming matchup with the Arizona Cardinals.
Nov 24, 2022 • 10:23 PM | RotoBallerMike Williams Limited In Practice Wednesday
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (ankle) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday after re-aggravating his high ankle sprain in Week 11. Head coach Brandon Staley stated that the team would take things "day by day" with Williams as he is likely to be limited in practice all week. This gives him a chance to suit up in what would be an enticing matchup against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. Fantasy managers should monitor Williams' status throughout the week and should view him as a risky WR2 with great upside if active.
Nov 23, 2022 • 11:07 PM | RotoBallerMike Williams Re-Aggravated High-Ankle Sprain
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (ankle) re-aggravated his high-ankle sprain during Sunday's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, head coach Brandon Staley told the media. "We are going to find out a lot more in the next couple of days about his possibilities for Wednesday's practice," Staley said. "But not a significant re-injury." As of now, Williams' status for Week 12 is up in the air. If active, he should be viewed as a low-end WR2 in fantasy football.
Nov 21, 2022 • 11:30 PM | RotoBallerMike Williams Downgraded To Out Sunday
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday Night Football against the Kansas City Chiefs. He caught one pass for 15 yards before exiting. This development is concerning since Williams missed the last two games with a high-ankle sprain, so it makes sense that the Chargers are holding him out for the remainder of the contest. As long as Williams is sidelined, Keenan Allen, Joshua Palmer, and DeAndre Carter will operate as Los Angeles' lead receivers.
Nov 21, 2022 • 3:10 AM | RotoBallerMike Williams Questionable To Return Sunday
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (ankle) is officially questionable to return against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 11. He caught one pass for 15 yards before exiting. This development is concerning since Williams missed the last two games with a high-ankle sprain. Because of this, it would not be surprising to see the Chargers exercise caution and hold Williams out for the remainder of the contest. As long as Williams is sidelined, Keenan Allen, Joshua Palmer, and DeAndre Carter will operate as the Chargers' lead receivers.
Nov 21, 2022 • 2:17 AM | RotoBallerMike Williams Expected To Play In Week 11
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (ankle) is expected to be active for Sunday's divisional clash with the Kansas City Chiefs, according to Jordan Schultz of The Score. The 28-year-old had been listed as questionable despite practicing in full on Friday. Williams is the Chargers' leading receiver this season, having caught 37 passes for 495 yards and three touchdowns through seven games. He ranks as a WR2 ahead of what should be a high-scoring affair versus Kansas City. On the topic of Chargers receivers, it's worth noting that Williams' teammate, Keenan Allen (hamstring), is also trending towards being active for just the third time this season.
Nov 20, 2022 • 2:07 AM | RotoBallerMike Williams Could Return To Practice Next Week
Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said that there's a "good chance" that wide receiver Mike Williams (ankle) will return to practice in some capacity next week. Williams is officially out for the Sunday night game in Week 10 against the San Francisco 49ers, and he's been out since suffering a high-ankle sprain in Week 7. Williams and Keenan Allen (hamstring) will both miss another game this weekend, leaving Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter in significant starting roles yet again. Williams should be stashed in all fantasy formats, as he has 37 catches on 59 targets for 495 yards and three touchdowns in his seven games played for LA so far this season. A return to practice next week won't necessarily mean he'll return in Week 11 against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs.
Nov 11, 2022 • 11:33 PM | RotoBallerMike Williams Remains "Week-To-Week"
Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said wide receiver Mike Williams (ankle) is "more like week-to-week, but he's progressing" with a high ankle sprain. He initially suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Week 7 loss against the Seattle Seahawks. The 28-year-old is set to miss Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers. If he can practice next week, he will have a shot to return in Week 11 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Keenan Allen (hamstring) is day-to-day. The Chargers will rely on Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter as the team's top two wideouts if Allen and Williams are ruled out Sunday versus San Francisco.
Nov 10, 2022 • 2:05 AM | RotoBallerChargers Expect Mike Williams To Miss At Least Four Weeks
Los Angeles wide receiver Mike Williams (ankle) is expected to miss at least four weeks after suffering a high-ankle sprain in the Week 7 loss against the Seattle Seahawks. The star receiver had his ankle rolled up after making a catch last week. Many feared his season was over, given how bad the injury looked. Thankfully, the former first-round pick only has a high-ankle sprain and will return at some point this season. Unfortunately, Williams could be placed on injured reserve if the Chargers expect him to miss at least four weeks. With the former Clemson star unable to play, Joshua Palmer, Gerald Everett, and DeAndre Carter will see an increase in targets.
Oct 26, 2022 • 6:16 PM | RotoBallerMike Williams To Miss Time With High-Ankle Sprain
Tests on Monday revealed that Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (ankle) suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Week 7 loss to the Seattle Seahawks and "will miss some time," according to a source. The Athletic's Daniel Popper reports that head coach Brandon Staley said Williams will miss "weeks not days." The good news is that the Chargers are on bye in Week 8, but there's a good chance that the 28-year-old won't be ready when the Bolts in Week 9 to face the Atlanta Falcons on Nov. 6. High-ankle sprains can take anywhere from two to five weeks to recover from. Depending on the health of the rest of LA's receiving corps, Keenan Allen, DeAndre Carter and Joshua Palmer (concussion) are most likely to be the team's top three receivers for however much time Williams misses.
Oct 24, 2022 • 11:13 PM | RotoBallerMike Williams Says He Has A Sprained Ankle
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (ankle) said in the locker room after the team's Week 7 loss to the Seattle Seahawks that he has a "sprain" in his right ankle. He was injured on a fourth down in the fourth quarter on Sunday when his cleat got caught in the grass as he was tackled by Seahawks cornerback Michael Jackson. Williams had a walking boot on his lower right leg when he left the locker room, and he couldn't put any weight on his right leg before putting the walking boot on. He'll undergo an MRI exam on Monday but vowed: "I'm gonna be back." The 28-year-old caught seven of nine targets for 86 yards and a touchdown before leaving, and depending on his MRI results, there's a chance Williams won't have to miss any time with the bye week coming in Week 8.
Oct 24, 2022 • 2:34 AM | RotoBallerMike Williams Helped Off The Field In Week 7
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (ankle) was injured late in Sunday's game against the Seahawks and is questionable to return. Williams had seven catches for 86 yards and a touchdown before succumbing to the injury. It's unwelcome news for the Chargers, as the team just got Keenan Allen (hamstring) back from a five-game absence. Fortunately, L.A. has Week 8 off, so the 28-year-old could be back against the Atlanta Falcons. However, DeAndre Carter may take Williams' place in the lineup if he can't make it back by then. Joshua Palmer (concussion) was also inactive for Sunday's game.
Oct 23, 2022 • 11:37 PM | RotoBallerMike Williams Misses Practice With Illness
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (illness) didn't take part in the team's unofficial practice on Wednesday. The Chargers didn't release a practice report on Wednesday, but the 28-year-old was reported to be dealing with an illness. With the Chargers playing on Monday night, Williams' Week 6 status shouldn't be in jeopardy just yet. However, if he's unavailable later in the week, the Chargers might have to pivot to other options. Nothing appears to be of concern yet, but this development is something to monitor throughout the week.
