Logs 14 snaps on offense Sunday Williams recorded 14 of 64 snaps on offense in Sunday's 25-19 win over the Saints, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The rookie wideout didn't record a catch despite being targeted twice. Through six games, Williams has caught just two passes on four targets for 20 yards, and while his role could grow as the season progresses, for now he remains behind Stefon Diggs, Kayshon Boutte, Mack Hollins and DeMario Douglas in the Patriots' WR pecking order.

Logs 14 snaps on offense Sunday Williams recorded 14 of a possible 64 snaps on offense in Sunday's 25-19 win over the Saints, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact In the process, Williams didn't record a catch Sunday, while being targeted twice. Through six games, the 2025 third-rounder has caught just two passes (on four targets) for 20 yards, and while his role could grow as the season progresses, for now Williams remains behind Stefon Diggs, Kayshon Boutte, Mack Hollins and DeMario Douglas in the Patriots' WR pecking order.

Ten snaps on offense Sunday Williams was on the field for 10 of 60 snaps on offense in Sunday's 33-27 win over the Dolphins, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The 2025 third-rounder wasn't targeted by QB Drake Maye in Week 2, and while Williams could see his role in the Patriots offense grow as the season progresses, for now he's off the fantasy radar.

10 snaps on offense Sunday Williams was on the field for 10 of a possible 60 snaps on offense in Sunday's 33-27 win over the Dolphins, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Williams wasn't targeted by QB Drake Maye in Week 2, and while the 2025 third-rounder could see his role in the Patriots offense grow as the season progresses, for now he's off the fantasy lineup radar.

One catch in regular-season debut Williams was on the field for seven of a possible 71 snaps on offense in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Raiders, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact In the process, the 2025 third-rounder caught his only target for 12 yards. As the season progresses, Williams figures to see his workload increase, but for now he's behind Stefon Diggs (29 snaps), Kayshon Boutte (58 snaps), DeMario Douglas (45 snaps) and Mack Hollins (40 snaps) in the Patriots WR pecking order. Until that changes, the Washington State product is off the fantasy lineup radar.

Ready for opener Williams (undisclosed) isn't listed on the Patriots' Week 1 injury report.

Impact Now that he's cleared for Week 1 action, Williams should settle into a role in the Patriots offense out of the gate this season, but it may take some time before the 2025 third-rounder sees steady volume in a wideout corps that also includes Stefon Diggs, DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte, Mack Hollins and Efton Chism. Per Mike Reiss of ESPN, to kick off the 2025 campaign, Diggs projects as a starter alongside Boutte, with Douglas in the slot and Hollins next on the depth chart, followed by Williams.

Returns to practice Sunday Williams, who's been out for a week with an undisclosed injury, returned to practice Sunday, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact Williams took a hard hit to the head during the Patriots' preseason game versus Minnesota on Saturday, Aug. 16. While the nature of his injury is still unclear, the 22-year-old missed the subsequent week of practices and was held out of the preseason finale against the Giants. Williams was selected in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft, and he is expected to slot into a starting role during his rookie season. Therefore, it will be worth monitoring his injury status leading up to New England's regular-season opener against the Raiders on Sunday, Sept. 9.

AUGUST 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Held out of Thursday's game Williams (undisclosed) didn't play in Thursday's preseason finale against the Giants.

Impact Williams missed practice time this week due to an undisclosed issue, but he likely wouldn't have played in any case Thursday, with the Patriots resting key players, with an eye toward giving those competing for depth slotting the bulk of the snaps versus New York. Assuming he resumes practicing in short order, Williams is destined to secure a role in the Patriots offense out of the gate this season, but it may take some time before the 2025 third-rounder sees steady volume in a wideout corps that also includes Stefon Diggs (knee), DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte and Mack Hollins.

Not expected to play Thursday Williams (undisclosed), who has missed the Patriots' last two practices, isn't expected to play in Thursday's preseason finale against the Giants, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The same applies to fellow WRs Efton Chism (foot/ankle), Kendrick Bourne (leg), Ja'Lynn Polk (arm/shoulder) and Javon Baker. Of the group, Williams' roster standing is the most secure, but it remains to be seen how much volume the 2025 third-rounder sees early on this season, with Stefon Diggs (knee), DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte and Mack Hollins also in the mix for targets.

Not practicing Monday Coach Mike Vrabel said he doesn't anticipate Williams (undisclosed) will practice Monday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Williams took a hard hit to the head toward the end of the second quarter in Saturday's preseason game against the Vikings and was unable to return. Williams has played 45 offensive snaps this preseason, securing all three of his pass-game targets for 24 yards. The third-round rookie may not be a full-time wideout early on in 2025, as he's competing for snaps with Kayshon Boutte and Mack Hollins behind Stefon Diggs (knee) and slot man DeMario Douglas.

AUGUST 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Three grabs against Vikes Williams caught all three of his targets for 24 yards in Saturday's 20-12 preseason win over Minnesota.

Impact After failing to haul in a pass in the Patriots' preseason opener, Williams looked a little more settled Saturday, with his longest gain going for 13 yards late in the first quarter. The 2025 third-round pick still wasn't working with the first-team offense, as all three of his receptions came with Joshua Dobbs under center, but Williams is locked into a roster spot and could see more volume than expected early in the season if Stefon Diggs (knee) is limited in his return from ACL surgery.

Blanked on four targets Friday Williams didn't catch any of his four targets in Friday's 48-18 preseason win over the Commanders.

Impact None of Williams' targets came from starting quarterback Drake Maye, as the rookie third-round pick is still stuck in a depth role at this point. Williams will try to bounce back in the Patriots' second preseason game, Aug. 16 against the Vikings.

Mixed results in camp so far Williams has had an up and down training camp thus far, Chad Graff of The Athletic reports.

Impact Graff notes that while Williams has been part of some of the biggest plays in camp, including a 40-yard TD from QB Drake Maye on a go route earlier this week, in that span the wideout has also logged more drops than any other Patriots receiver. If the 2025 third-rounder can curb the drops as the summer continues, however, Graff believes that Williams could push for the team's No. 3 WR role, but for now he's competing with Mack Hollins, Kayshon Boutte, Kendrick Bourne and Ja'Lynn Polk for slotting behind Stefon Diggs and DeMario Douglas.
