Williams has been a key piece of the Lions explosive offense in 2024. He’s caught 17 passes on 30 targets, netting 361 yards and three touchdowns. He’s second on the team in targets and yards behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and third in receptions, with RB Jahmyr Gibbs at 18. Williams also has 32 rushing yards on four carries.
Veteran Kalif Raymond is the most likely direct replacement. Raymond caught his first touchdown of the season in the Week 7 win in Minnesota, a game where Williams had only one catch for minus-4 yards. Raymond has the vertical speed closest to Williams, though he lacks the size and dynamic playmaking of Jamo.
The Lions have veteran Allen Robinson on the active roster. Robinson has yet to see a target in his two games since being signed from the team’s practice squad. Undrafted rookie Isaiah Williams is also on the roster. Williams has been a healthy scratch in recent weeks and is more of a slot receiver than a vertical threat.
