October 29, 2008 Ravens receiver Demetrius Williams was put on injured reserve and will have surgery to repair a bone spur underneath his Achilles' tendon, according to the Baltimore Sun. Our View:Williams was not much of a fantasy option, as he has 13 catches for 180 yards one one score. He seemingly has the potential to produce, but just hasn't turned the corner yet. |
|
October 24, 2008 Demetrius Williams did not practice all week due to an injured ankle but is still being listed as questionable to play in Week 8, according to the Ravens Official Website. Our View:Though he officially has a 50-50 shot of playing, he doesn't seem to realistically have much shot of producing anything even if he does play so look elsewhere for help at the receiver position. |
|
October 18, 2008 Ravens receiver Demetrius Williams could take some playing time away from Mark Clayton in the future, according to Pro Football Weekly. Our View:Williams has 12 catches for 110 yards, but even if he does see more time, he won't be fantasy-worthy as in the early stages of Joe Flacco's development as a quarterback. |
|
October 15, 2008 Demetrius Williams missed Wednesday's practice for an undisclosed reason, according to the Baltimore Sun. Our View:The Ravens consider him day-to-day. Williams could be a dangerous vertical threat, but has been limited with rookie Joe Flacco directing the Ravens' aerial attack, and does not merit fantasy consideration if cleared to play against Miami. |
|
October 4, 2008 Demetrius Williams has just five catches for 35 yards so far this year, but offensive coordinator Cam Cameron says that Williams is just now getting healthy, according to the Carroll County Times. "Demetrius is the healthiest I've seen him since I've been here," Cameron said. Our View:Williams has a lot of talent, but he is limited by the fact that he's No. 3 on the depth chart and has rookie Joe Flacco throwing to him. |
|
September 19, 2008 Demetrius Williams has been upgraded to full participation in practice, according to the Baltimore Sun. He had been slowed by a hamstring ailment. Our View:Williams is a risky fantasy receiver, but does have a favorable match-up against a vulnerable Browns' secondary. |
|
September 7, 2008 Wide receiver Demetrius Williams is inactive for Week 1 against the Bengals, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. He battled a left leg injury this preseason. Our View:NFL.com and the Baltimore Sun did not list Williams as inactive, so we're not quite sure who to believe. Fantasy owners shouldn't be counting on this wideout anyway. |
|
August 27, 2008 Ravens wide receiver Demetrius Williams has been battling a left leg injury, but he was recently taken off the PUP list and could play in the team's Week 1 contest, according to the Baltimore Sun. Our View:Williams was thought to be in the battle for the No. 2 wide receiver job, but his injury dashed those hopes. He does not make for a good fantasy option at the moment, not only because of his place on the depth chart, but because of the team's unsettling quarterback situation. |
|
July 10, 2008 Demetrius Williams will push Mark Clayton for the number two receiver job in Baltimore, according to Pro Football Weekly. Our View:Williams had 20 catches for 290 yards last year, and Clayton had 48 catches for 531 yards, although neither player scored a receiving touchdown. The difference here is size, as Williams is 6-foot-2, while Clayton is just 5-foot-10. Neither make a great fantasy option right now, especially with the quarterback situation in Baltimore. |

June 4, 2008 Demetrius Williams has returned to practice for the Ravens, and stated that he is fully recovered from his sore Achilles’ tendon, according to the Baltimore Sun. He commented, "It’s a good feeling being back. I’m working with the guys and getting a feel for what they’re doing and what I’m doing. I feel a little bit rusty right now just because I’m trying to get my legs back under me from not running." He wasn't too rusty, as he hauled in a high Kyle Boller pass between two defenders, and took it 50 yards to the end zone. Our View:Williams has deep sleeper potential for 2008, and his recovery is seemingly going well. He will battle for the number three receiver role this season opposite starters Derrick Mason and Mark Clayton. |
|
May 28, 2008 Demetrius Williams has been slowed by an Achilles tendon injury in minicamps, according to the Baltimore Sun. Our View:Williams has some deep sleeper potential, so it's certainly worth tracking his recovery. At this point this doesn't appear to be anything serious. |

May 12, 2008 If Derrick Mason, Mark Clayton, and Demetrius Williams perform up to expectations, the team could feature three receivers as their primary formation, according to the Baltimore Sun. New OC Cam Cameron wants to be unpredictable and will change up the formations as well as the personnel groupings. But he told the aforementioned receivers that their play will influence the direction of the offense. Cameron said, "If we had to start a game today, three wide receivers might be our starting group. We always like to mix it. But our best 11 players will be our primary personnel group." Our View:Of the Ravens' 557 passes thrown last season, only 39 percent came in a three-wide set. Williams looked good in limited action, and his fantasy stock will benefit the most, if the team ultimately employs the three-receiver set as their primary formation. |
