General manager Tom Telesco believes Williams has the ability to handle a high-volume role if needed, Ricky Henne of the team's official website reports. "[Williams] had a great year for us," Telesco said Thursday. "But we're also in an offense where we have a lot of guys to get the football to, so he didn't have 80, 90 or 100 catches, but he has that type of ability."

Williams hauled in five of 11 targets for 68 yards Sunday in the Chargers' 41-28 loss to the Patriots in the divisional round.

Williams brought in two of five targets for 42 yards and also caught a two-point conversion pass in the Chargers' 23-17 wild-card win over the Ravens on Sunday.

Williams hauled in five of six targets for 65 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-9 win over the Broncos. He also lost 11 yards on his lone rushing attempt.

Williams caught one of his three targets for seven yards in Saturday's loss to the Ravens.

.Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams got the chances, and he stepped up. After No. 1 wide receiver Keenan Allen left with a hip injury, the team turned their attention to Williams, and he carried them. Williams finished the night with seven catches on nine targets for 76 yards and two touchdowns. He also ran for a touchdown and caught the winning two-point conversion. Williams was an absolute monster in the red zone, causing much outrage amongst Chiefs defenders as they continuously looked for flags for push-offs. Instead, Williams remained untouched by penalties and looked like he was worth every bit of the first-round pick that was spent on him last year. Williams has talent coming out of his ears, and if LAs offense continues to deal with so many injuries, hell get to keep showcasing it.

.Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams is the epitome of a supremely talented receiver who is simply buried in the depth chart. Thursday night, he may get to show more of what he can do. LAs run game is hamstrung by Melvin Gordons knee injury and Austin Ekelers concussion, so they could turn to the air to make up the difference in what should be a high-scoring matchup. If thats the case, guys like Mike and Tyrell Williams would likely see an increase in targets as a result. Given more chances, someone like Mike Williams could put up a huge night. Hes still a bit of a boom-or-bust pick just because of the teams offensive depth, but it should be a great opportunity for him.

Williams caught three of his six targets for 45 yards in the 26-21 win Sunday over the Bengals.

.Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams only logged three catches for 45 yards on Sunday, but they came when the team needed them most. Unfortunately, Williams had a fourth catch overturned on review, but it certainly looked like it should have been a good catch. Williams was unable to find the end zone, so his final tally isnt terribly impressive, but he continues to flash skills beyond his years. The Chargers have found a serious outside threat in Williams, if he can simply get the opportunities.

.Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams has been almost entirely dependent upon touchdowns for his fantasy value this season, and Sunday will be another opportunity for him. Williams has only been held without a catch in one game this season, so its almost a sure thing that hell get a couple chances to make something happen. Whether those chances will be in the red zone or not is the roll of the dice. If so, Williams has shown that he has a knack for hauling in critical throws for TDs. Hes higher up on the depth chart than Travis Benjamin, but owners really need to be clear that he is a boom or bust type of play this week.

Williams caught all three of his targets for 52 yards in the 33-30 win over the Steelers on Sunday.

.Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams caught all three passes thrown his way on Sunday night against the Steelers. Williams finished with 52 yards receiving on the game, good for second-most on the team, but he was held without a touchdown. Its only the second time in the last seven games that Williams has caught more than two passes, and the lack of a score really hurts his overall production. Williams remains a long shot from week to week since his value is almost entirely dependent on him finding the end zone, but desperate owners can always roll the dice on a high-powered offense like this.

.Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams got the call last week, and he hauled in a pair of touchdowns. That's great news because outside of scoring plays, Williams is pretty useless in the fantasy game. Williams has tallied up just 419 yards receiving this year, he hasn't topped 60 yards in a game since Week 3, and he's caught less than three passes in six of his last eight games. However, he's also the team's leading receiver in touchdowns. Williams is the epitome of the home run play, and because of that, he really should only be owned by desperate owners who are confident in their deity of choice.

.Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams continues to be a red zone threat. Williams hauled in a pair of touchdowns against the Cardinals on Sunday, bringing his team lead to five receiving touchdowns. Williams caught all four passes thrown his way, including an impressive sideline grab that featured excellent body control and awareness to score. Williams remains limited in his overall production due to the assortment of offensive weapons on the Chargers roster, but desperate owners can always go for the gold by crossing their fingers and hoping for him to get the call in the end zone. Williams seems to be acting as a tight end-light for the team in its current iteration.

.Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams wasn't on the team's injury report going into Sunday's game after he had been dealing with a groin injury all week. Williams' injury was always considered mild, but the complete lack of a designation is a great sign. Unfortunately, Williams still remains a long shot to produce on any given week. His limitations certainly aren't due to a lack of talent but instead a lack of opportunity. He wasn't targeted a single time last week against the Raiders, and with the whole crew healthy headed into the Denver game, it's likely he'll struggle for targets once again. He should be seen as a desperation play that includes crossing fingers and religious offerings.

.Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams didn't see a single target in Sunday's win over the Raiders. He now has exactly three receptions in his last four games. Remarkably enough, two of those have gone for touchdowns. His staggering touchdown-to-catch ratio aside, Williams' overall lack of involvement in the passing game won't sustain fantasy relevance. Unless you're the type of fantasy owner who enjoys banking on that sort of thing, it's safe to begin fading Williams after his rather promising start to the season.

.Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams will be looking to be more involved this week against the Oakland Raiders. Williams comes off the back off a game where he had a single reception for 30 yards and a touchdown. If the Raiders continue to struggle to move the ball, quarterback Philip Rivers will have plenty of opportunities to get the big-bodied receiver involved in the game.

.For the second week in a row, Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams caught one pass and scored one touchdown. Near the end of the first half, Williams hauled in a short pass from quarterback Philip Rivers and spun his way to the house along the sideline. The run ended up being a controversial one that was reviewed multiple times because it appeared Williams stepped out of bounds, but it was eventually allowed to stand due to a lack of incontrovertible evidence otherwise. Williams' low usage makes him an extremely risky play on a week-to-week basis, but he's got plenty of talent to explode at any moment.

.Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams has all the talent to be a top-flight receiver, but for now he's stuck in the doldrums of decoy/one-timer. Williams has only caught one pass in three of his last four games, but one of those was a tantalizing 55-yard touchdown versus the Titans. Williams is floating around in the No. 2/No. 3 role that he shares with Tyrell Williams, and it leaves both receivers questionable for fantasy purposes. If an owner's truly desperate due to their regulars being stuck on bye weeks, they can take a flyer on Mike, but there's no dependability to his game at this point.

.Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams finally got his number pulled on a big pass play and hauled in a 55-yard touchdown reception on Sunday. Williams got a slight bump up in the rotation by starting running back Melvin Gordon being out, but he still only caught the one ball on the day. He was targeted for two other possible touchdowns, but he was unable to corral either pass. Williams has all the makings of a star, but he's limited by opportunities, and it looks unlikely that he'll see dramatically more anytime this season without an injury in the receiving corps.

Williams made the most of his lone reception during Sunday's 20-19 win against Tennessee, registering a 55-yard touchdown reception.

.Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams has been hurting for opportunities recently because there are so many good targets on the Chargers, but this week in Cleveland may give him more chances. Cleveland's young defense has been great at limiting quarterback fantasy performance this season, but they still give up plenty of points to wide receivers. With LA putting out a 3-wide set that includes Keenan Allen, Tyrell Williams, and Mike Williams, they should be able to spread the ball all around to help put the Browns on their heels. Mike Williams could easily turn into the go-to man for the game if his matchup is the one they can exploit the easiest.

.Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams looked good again, and he was also barely used again. Williams was only targeted four times, hauling in three of the chances for 45 yards and no touchdowns. Williams is a dominant receiver in every way, shape, and form, but he simply can't get the regular attention necessary to make him a top-flight performer on the fantasy stage. Williams struggles with getting the looks because LA's offense is brimming with talent at just about every position, and he's a perfect example of the fact that coaches care about winning games, not passing out fantasy stats. As long as everyone in the offense is healthy, Williams will be nothing but an unpredictable long shot play from week to week.

.Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams is on that cusp of breaking out, but the biggest thing holding him back at this point is opportunities. Williams is obviously a supreme talent, but he's starting to fall into the same trap that plagues every wide receiver on the Chargers. He simply doesn't get enough looks on a consistent basis to be a dependable fantasy play because there are too many good weapons. Williams has a great chance for some big plays this week against the Raiders, but he could just as easily only come down with one or two receptions because other studs like Melvin Gordon and Keenan Allen are getting the chances. Williams isn't bad by any means, but his situation isn't a good one for fantasy owners unless they're getting desperate.

.Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams looked like he was ready to make the jump to stardom after last week's performance, but on Sunday, owners were harshly reminded that the Chargers are deep as can be on offense. Williams didn't play poorly or anything, but LA's offense is just brimming with prime targets, so the balls didn't come his way. Williams was overshadowed by the likes of Keenan Allen, Melvin Gordon, Austin Ekeler, Antonio Gates, and Tyrell Williams. Unfortunately, this is going to remain an issue all season as the team's main goal will require them to use all available weapons. Williams is still going to lay some eggs through no fault of his own.

.Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams has shown flashes of his future superstardom over the last couple games, but he's just getting started. After hauling in a pair of touchdowns against a Rams defense that was considered above-average, Williams will get to face a San Francisco secondary that has been a sieve so far this year. SF's secondary is 28th in the league in passing YPG, and normal No. 1 wide receiver Keenan Allen has been slowed down this week with a knee injury (though it looks like he'll play on Sunday). Williams could easily be the team's primary receiver once again this week, and that would mean a lot of big play opportunities. This could be the week that vaults Williams into the national spotlight.

.Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams continued his growth from afterthought to star by snagging a pair of touchdowns against the crosstown-rival Rams on Sunday. Williams also led the team in targets, receptions, and receiving yards in the losing effort. The second-year receiver is still having to compete with a host of other offensive weapons for touches, but his ability is unquestionable as he's showing why the team used a first-round pick on him last year even though he was sidelined with a serious back injury. While this game didn't go the Chargers' way, it looks like they've got a new stud ready to help carry them into the future.

.Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams may not be a household name yet, but his limited appearances make it look like it's just a matter of time. Williams snagged his first career touchdown this week in Buffalo, and it was a beauty that required a perfect throw, a leaping grab, and the strength to keep control through contact. His only other catch of the day was the exact kind of catch coaches like to see. Faced with a 3rd-and-12 situation at the edge of field goal range, Williams hauled in a 17-yarder to give the Chargers a fresh set of downs in the red zone. Melvin Gordon took it to the house on the next play. Williams is just getting started and may not even have a huge impact this year due to the team's offensive depth, but he's going to be a star.

.Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams is certainly putting the pressure on the other wide receivers on the LA roster. After a spectacular preseason that featured highlight reel catches that made everyone remember why he was taken in the first round, Williams showed in Week 1 that he's ready for the big time. That's making for a tough situation for current No. 2 receiver Tyrell Williams. Tyrell was nearly blanked against the Chiefs while Mike racked up 81 yards while hauling in five of the six balls thrown his way. In Week 2, the pair get to face a Buffalo defense that can be very generous. If Mike can outplay Tyrell once again, the coup may officially be underway.

Williams could be in line for additional snaps in Week 2 if Travis Benjamin (foot) is unable to play, Eric D. Williams of ESPN.com reports.

.Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams hauled in five catches for 81 yards in Week 1 against the Chiefs. Despite playing the fewest number of snaps among wide receivers, his six targets trailed only Keenan Allen within the group. During a game in which Travis Benjamin certainly didn't do himself any favors by dropping two potential touchdown passes from quarterback Philip Rivers, Williams rose to the occasion as the Chargers battled from behind on the scoreboard, converting all five of his receptions into first downs. Williams could start to ascend the Chargers depth chart with performances like Sunday's. It's much too early to consider throwing him into starting fantasy lineups, but if he's available on your waiver wire, you should grab him before it's too late.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams was the talk of the town after a phenomenal catch he made in the team's preseason game with the Seattle Seahawks this weekend. Williams went sky-high to snag a touchdown ball in the third quarter in a catch that quickly went viral and started drawing Randy Moss comparisons. While the catch was amazing and got all the attention, the most important thing for a lot of Chargers teammates and fans is the fact that Williams seems to be fully healthy and ready to perform this season. He's still No. 3 on the depth chart, but talent like his will find a way to shine through and owners should expect that he'll get plenty of opportunities.

In Week 1 of the preseason, Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams proved he's healthy enough to play. In Week 2, he'll get the chance to catch some passes from first-string quarterback Philip Rivers and fans will get to see if the two seem to be on the same page. Williams returned a little bit last season, but he never really clicked with the offense, so fans and analysts alike are excited to see if he's built some rapport with Rivers over the offseason. Williams is expected to be the team's No. 3 receiver to open the season with Keenan Allen and Tyrell Williams ahead of him, but if he's as good as the team thought when they drafted him in the first round in 2017, he should get plenty of chances this year.

Williams secured two of five targets for 18 yards during Saturday's preseason opener against the Cardinals.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams said he's being used often in the red zone and is gaining chemistry with quarterback Philip Rivers. "I've got a big role in the red zone right now," Williams said. "Henry was a big red zone threat, and that's a spot where I can help. So we're working on a lot of that stuff right now." Williams' rookie year was defined by injury, as he played in just 10 games and had 11 catches for 95 yards and no touchdowns. But he should have a much larger role in 2018, especially with tight end Hunter Henry (knee) out for the year. Williams will probably be more touchdown-dependent for fantasy owners, but he's worthy of a look in the later rounds.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams was the star of the team's annual scrimmage game, catching a pair of touchdowns in traffic. After being drafted by the Chargers in the first round of the 2017 draft, Williams was sidelined for the first six games of the season due to a herniated disk. After returning for a couple games, he again sat out with a knee injury that forced an early end to his rookie season. Williams seems to be fully healthy now, and he is currently slotted to be the Chargers' No. 3 receiver this season. That said, the Chargers are famous for their injuries, so Williams could easily get the chance to be a star at any time.
