Williams was coming off his best performance of the season against Iowa State prior to the team's bye, catching eight passes for 128 yards and a touchdown. Assuming his punishment has been fulfilled, he will hope to return to that form when the Buffs host Arizona on Saturday.

Scores in Saturday's win Williams reeled in their only target for 47 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 37-20 win against Wyoming.

Impact Williams caught a 47-yard touchdown in the third quarter of Saturday's game, his second straight game with a touchdown. However, that was his only target in the entire game which is somewhat concerning. If he can't get a higher target share with quarterback Kaidon Salter, then he can't be relied on in fantasy.

Impact Williams caught a 37-yard touchdown from Ryan Staub in the fourth quarter Friday, his first touchdown of the season. He now has seven catches (on 12 targets) for 107 yards and a touchdown over the last two games, a promising little stretch despite the shaky quarterback play. It's too early to tell if he can be fully relied on, but he has a good chance to put together another solid performance Saturday versus Wyoming.

Not listed as starter Williams is not listed as a starter for Saturday's game against Delaware, Scott Procter of DNVR Sports reports.

Impact Instead of Williams, it is Sincere Brown part of Colorado's listed starters at wide receiver. The former did not impress all that much in Week 1, having logged only one reception (on two targets) for 10 yards. At the very least, there is still much time for Williams' 2025 season to turn itself around.
