Jets HC Robert Saleh said Thursday that WR Mike Williams (knee) will play Week 1 but also suggested that Williams won't play a full snapload. That jibes with the team's plans for Williams all along. He's now a little over 11 months removed from his ACL tear and recently returned to full-team work in practice.
Saleh on Williams' Week 1 status: "We're gonna be very smart with how we use him, but he's gonna be plenty available to make his mark felt."
Saleh said back in June that Williams was on a similar ramp-up plan to RB Breece Hall last year. Hall was limited in New York's first five games before being a full-go the rest of the way.
Williams won't be a viable fantasy starter in Week 1 -- and might not be for the rest of September. But has has a shot to work his way into the WR3 mix over the final three-quarters of the season.
Williams remains a value pick at his WR57 ADP.
