Stat Prediction for Lions WR Jameson Williams Week 14
Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson indicated this week that rookie wide receiver Jameson Williams could have an expanded role in Sunday's NFC North divisional matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.
"Yeah, I hope so. I don't know what that means necessarily for the rep count, but it's encouraging to finally get some opportunities to hook up in practice, both in routes on air and in competitive periods, because that chemistry as we talked about last week, that's critical, that's big," Johnson told reporters. "Knowing where he's gonna be, what the top of his break's going to look like, so our quarterback can anticipate that throw, that goes a long way."

Detroit's No. 12 overall pick in the 2022 draft played eight total snaps in a blowout victory over the Jaguars last week, but did not record any receptions in his NFL debut.
"Oh, it was good," Williams said of his debut. "We got a great offense. You see we put up 40 points? We've been more consistent this whole year. We've had a lot of great scoring games, a lot of great games on the offensive side of the ball. Being able to watch that, it's just great knowing that my talent is going to be added to that soon. It's going to be something that's real exciting to watch."
With another week of practice under his belt, our stat prediction is that Williams will record four receptions for 45 yards. Also, the speedy wideout will be given two carries for a total of 24 rushing yards against the Vikings.
