Oakland Raiders: Top 5 fantasy football options, stat predictions

WR Tyrell Williams

ADP: Round 13, Pick 7

After spending four seasons with the Los Angeles Chargers, Williams’ contributions seem a bit understated. He went undrafted out of Western Oregon in 2015 but made the roster as a rookie. In his second season, the 6-4, 205-pound wideout logged 69 receptions for 1,059 yards and seven touchdowns, leading the club in the first two categories.

Williams fell under the radar once wideout Keenan Allen put together two healthy seasons; he also had to compete for targets with tight Hunter Henry two years ago and wideout Mike Williams last year.

In Oakland, Williams will become the clear-cut No. 2 option at wide receiver without a first-round draft pick behind him on the depth chart or an established tight end who will steal targets in the passing game.

Brown’s tendency to draw double coverage should open up the field for Williams, who’s equipped to outrun or leap over a defender for some impressive grabs. He’s going into this season as an underrated fantasy asset, but the 27-year old possesses great value if available in the latter rounds of fantasy drafts.

Remember, for the 2015 and 2016 seasons, Cooper and Crabtree each eclipsed 70 catches and 900 receiving yards. Carr, with familiarity in the offense, should be able to feed his top two wide receiver targets.

Fantasy Prediction: 59 catches, 891 yards, 7 touchdowns
