Player: WR Mike Williams
Stock Value: Up
Reasoning: After weeks of low integration, Mike Williams finally saw his involvement increase last week. Coinciding with George Pickens’ injury, Williams caught three passes, and his role can continue to grow. Should the Steelers stay afloat in Pickens’ absence, the growth of Williams in their offense could be a key development for the playoff stretch.
Mike Williams could make George Pickens’ hamstring injury a beautiful thing if the Steelers take care of their business. As long as they can manage to eke out a couple wins, the silver lining may prove a net positive.
