Yeah but TWill is nothing more than a 800 yd WR at BEST. He feeds off the attention Bryant's gets.
Ok...that's exactly what a good #2 should get. How many #2s in the league even have over 800 yards?
Of players who had more than 600 yards receiving (Williams had 621), he had the fewest targets, at 64. Nobody else was under 70 and only 3 players were under 80. His yards per target of 9.7 is higher than or on pace with the league's elite receivers: Antonio Brown (9.3), Demarius Thomas (8.8), Julio Jones (9.7), Dez (9.6).
If you put TW in the context of guys who get the same number of targets, his numbers DWARF other WRs. Yards Per Attempt of players with similar targets: Welker (64, 7.25) D Adams (66, 6.7) C Patterson (67, 5.7) J Kearse (67, 8.0) Hartline (63, 7.5) J Wright (62, 9.5). Williams had more catches of 20+ (10) and TDs (8) than any of those guys.
On a team that runs the ball and has a stud WR and TE soaking up a lot of targets, Williams does about all you can do. He is a deep threat and is very good at it.
Other than "he's a body catcher" there is nothing to support these claims that Williams is garbage or whatever it is people are saying about him. He's not a number one, but he is a perfect fit in his role on this offense. The guy is a big play threat, and the perfect compliment to Dez. Sure, you want more consistency, but you can say that about most every WR in the league except maybe the top 10. So the whining about TWill is just that, whining. It's knee jerk and ignores ALL of the facts about his play.
