Week 1 Overview

Williams' first game under HC Ben Johnson comes against the Vikings and blitz-happy DC Brian Flores. Williams ranked 12th among 43 qualifying QBs in Pro Football Focus passing grade when blitzed last year, completing 59% of his passes with seven TDs vs. one INT. He posted a 340-2-0 passing line in his first meeting with Minnesota last year but just 191-1-0 in the second. Johnson's Lions had no trouble with the Vikings last year, with QB Jared Goff averaging 8.4 yards per attempt with five TDs across their two matchups. Williams is ultimately a risk/reward Week 1 fantasy play.

Advanced Stats

Shark Bites

The forecast for today's Giants-Bears game calls for sustained winds around 20 mph with gusts up near 30 mph. That's enough to potentially impact play calling (i.e. more running) and passing efficiency. The game's total has dropped from 47 to 45.5. We've docked the projections on both passing games and would stay away from the kickers in this game. See the updated rankings.
