Tyrell Williams, WR

After the forced departure of disgraced wide receiver Antonio Brown, Tyrell Williams stepped up to the plate as the WR1 early on, scoring a touchdown in each of his first five games. Unfortunately, Tyrell’s streak became severely affected by a case of plantar fasciitis, which caused him to miss a handful of games.

Once he returned, he was limited on the field due to his inability to overcome the injury, and it will be crucial to have him at 100 percent in 2020. Williams looks to enter his second season with the Raiders on the right foot, metaphorically and literally, after an offseason of rehab.

Back in March, I wrote about Williams expectations for a bounce-back season  and with the added offensive firepower of Henry Ruggs III, Lynn Bowden Jr. and Bryan Edwards, I feel this holds truer now more than ever.
