Mike Williams led the Bucs with six receptions, 65 yards, and a touchdown on 10 targets at Atlanta in Week 17.

Williams hauled in an 8-yard bullet in the back of the end zone for a 10-3 lead in the second quarter, and the Bucs never looked back. Falling just shy of the 161.5 fantasy points of his rookie season, Williams finished with a 63/996/9 stat line for 153.6 points as a top-20 fantasy receiver. Vincent Jackson's sidekick shoulder garner WR3 consideration in next year's fantasy drafts.

Mike Williams caught four passes for 63 yards in Tampa Bay's Week 15 blowout loss in New Orleans.

Williams hauled in four of his seven targets, but he couldn't secure a couple of end zone throws that could have put the Bucs on the scoreboard. Williams got both feet in bounds late in the contest, but he couldn't keep control of the football as his elbow smacked the turf. He's really only a fantasy option in touchdown-heavy leagues.

Mike Williams caught three passes for 18 yards with a touchdown in the Bucs' Week 14 loss to the Eagles.

Williams spent most of his time facing Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, so the Bucs looked elsewhere. But when Williams got 1-on-1 coverage with Nnamdi Asomugha on a third-quarter goal-line play, Josh Freeman was licking his chops. He simply tossed an easy back-shoulder fade and Nnamdi had no shot. Williams will continue to be an asset in touchdown-heavy formats, but owners should note that he's averaging just 50.5 yards over the last eight weeks.

Mike Williams led the Bucs with six receptions for 93 yards and a touchdown on a team-high 12 targets at Denver in Week 13.

With Champ Bailey glued to Vincent Jackson, Williams was Josh Freeman's go-to receiver. Fantasy owners can thank garbage time for the unexpected big game. He drew all four targets and all three receptions for 47 yards, including a 5-yard touchdown, on the Bucs' final drive of the game. Williams is on pace for a 57/957/8 stat line heading into Week 14 versus the Eagles.

Mike Williams caught three of five targets for 28 yards and added a 28-yard pass in Week 12 versus the Falcons.

Lined up for a wide-receiver screen, Williams threw a pass to Vincent Jackson for a 28-yard gain to the 3-yard line. He had a chance for a pair of touchdowns himself, but Josh Freeman overthrew him at the pylon on one play and Williams couldn't come down with a jumpball against Asante Samuel on another. While he's on pace for a solid 54/909/7 line, Williams hasn't topped 70 yards since Week 6. He has a tough matchup versus the Broncos in Week 13.

Mike Williams caught three passes for 29 yards in the Bucs' Week 11 overtime win over the Panthers.

It was a wildly inefficient day for Williams as he hauled in just a third of his nine targets. In crunch time, Josh Freeman locked on to Vincent Jackson and Dallas Clark. Williams hasn't topped 68 yards in any of his last five games and has just nine catches in the last three weeks. He'll be a WR4 kind of play against the Falcons next week.
