In 2018-2019, Mike Williams caught 59% of his targets, averaged 10.7 yards per target, and scored on 7.7% of his targets.
If he got 130 targets at those rates, his line would be 77/1391/10, which would have been good for WR2 overall in PPR in 2019.

Williams scores 11 TDs on 50 touches in 2018.
In 2019 he played all 16 games. He was 2nd among qualifying WRs in YPC & 4th in YPT. He got 90 targets on the year. Yet he didn’t score until week 14.
There is no more obvious candidate for positive TD regression than Mike Williams.

The QB change will probably help him. Over his career, Rivers has been among the league leaders in targeting RBs & TEs. Last season, Charger WRs were in the bottom quarter of the NFL in total team target share. Charger RBs led the league in targets.
The Chargers changed OC in-season last year & HC Anthony Lynn has said he wants to run more play action and more downfield routes. This feels like coach speak for “Mike Williams needs to be more involved” to me. They picked up his pricey 5th year option.
Herbert has a big arm.

Mike Williams is a sleeping giant. He’s going as the WR36 in startup drafts this offseason. Buy all the shares at that kind of price.
