Kyle Williams caught 1-of-1 targets for 43 yards and one touchdown in the Patriots’ Week 8 win over the Dolphins. 2026-11-01 21:00:02 Good things happen when the Patriots get Williams involved downfield. He only caught one pass, but he made it count. Williams got open on a post route way downfield and was able to haul in the well-aimed pass from Drake Maye for a 43-yard score. The play was initially ruled incomplete because Williams accidentally kneed the ball out of his own possession as he entered the end zone, but coach Mike Vrabel smartly challenged the ruling of the play and won. Williams indeed crossed the plane before losing control of the ball. Williams’ workloads are frustratingly unreliable. He’s a boom-bust FLEX next week against the Packers. |

Kyle Williams caught a 12-yard pass in the Patriots’ Week 6 win over the Jets. 2026-10-18 19:00:03 Romeo Doubs departed early in the proceedings with a shoulder injury, but Williams was still held under two receptions for the fifth time in six appearances. We know Williams can pop up for big plays like a northeastern Isaac TesLaa, but the Patriots’ coaching staff doesn’t trust him for anything else. He’s off the radar in all but the deepest of formats. |

Kyle Williams caught all three of his targets for 91 yards and a touchdown in the Patriots’ Week 5 win against the Raiders. 2026-10-11 20:00:02 Williams caught a beautifully thrown 49-yard score from Drake Maye, who had four touchdown passes to go along with 376 yards through the air in the blowout victory. Williams ran a route on 19 of the team’s 42 drop backs with Mack Hollins on injured reserve. He also came down with a long grab in the second half that put the Pats in position to take a four-score lead. A.J. Brown’s eventual return to the New England offense — as soon as this week against the Jets — will further limit Williams’ snaps and routes. He won’t be playable in most formats going forward. |

Kyle Williams caught his lone target for 34 yards in the Patriots’ Week 3 loss to the Jaguars. 2026-09-27 22:00:02 Williams logged a pass route on 16 of the Patriots’ 29 drop backs on the day and had one of the longest plays of the game for a struggling New England passing attack. Williams will need more playing time if he’s going to be viable for fantasy purposes. For now Mack Hollins appears to be the top wideout in the Patriots offense. |

The Athletic’s Chad Graff believes getting WR Kyle Williams more involved will help the Patriots generate explosive plays. 2026-09-17 19:00:02 The issue is that Williams “didn’t display much craftiness in his route running during training camp this summer.” He ended up “buried on the depth chart” and played just 12 snaps in the opener. Still, Graff notes, Williams has shown an ability to “release off the line of scrimmage with ease, and run straight, deep routes for big completions.” Getting Williams more involved makes sense, but the Patriots have been reluctant to do so thus far in his career. He can be stashed on deep-leagues benches for a week or so, but positive results are not guaranteed. |
