Explaining Mike Williams’ Role And Snap Count

Since being traded at the deadline, the big question in Pittsburgh Steelers fans’ minds is: where is WR Mike Williams? Especially with WR George Pickens sidelined the last two games, why hasn’t Williams gotten the ball more? With Pickens potentially missing a third-straight game, it’s worth digging into how Williams is being used, how he’s not, and why he isn’t getting the ball.

Like we did when examining Pickens’ snap count controversy earlier this season, I pulled up the charting our Tom Mead does each week. It painted a clear picture.

In the Week 15 loss to the Eagles, Mike Williams played 15 snaps.
