Tyrell Williams reportedly playing as Lions' WR1
Detroit Lions wide receiver Tyrell Williams is reportedly operating as the team's No. 1 option at the position, according to Chris Burke of The Athletic.
What It Means:
There was a ton of turnover in the Motor City this offseason, and as a result, the team has an entirely new receiving corps. Per Burke, the operating order has been Williams, followed by Amon-Ra St. Brown and Kalif Raymond. Breshad Perriman has been working with the second team. It's currently unclear how targets will be distributed in this offense - which figures to feature a lot of runs - but the basic depth chart has seemingly been revealed.
Our models currently project Williams for 49.75 catches on 77.96 targets for 666.12 yards and 3.45 touchdowns this season.
