Tyrell Williams-San Diego Chargers

T.Y. Hilton’s late-game heroics dropped the Chargers to 1-2 on the season giving them two tough road losses on the year. In their first road loss, they also lost star WR Keenan Allen for the season, and one of the WR sleepers who has stepped up in his absence is second-year un-drafted free agent Tyrell Williams.

Williams has led the team in targets since Allen’s departure, and last week pulled in six catches for 69 yards. He has been one of Phillip Rivers’ go-to options and has the athletic ability to turn any touch into a touchdown. Williams is a plus-playmaker out of Western Oregon, and he should keep getting plenty of looks this week in a great matchup against the Saints.

The Saints gave up 294 yards on 20 catches to the Giants’ receivers in their only other road game this year. They’re also on a short week after losing to the Falcons on Monday Night Football and traveling across the country to play in sunny SoCal. Williams has plenty of upside and can be used as a great option from the WR sleepers at your WR3 spot.
