Is Maxx Williams A Deeper Week 5 Lineup Sleeper?

This may have been a player that a lot of people took the chance in Week 4 after seeing the production fellow TE Crockett Gilmore was able to produce before he got hurt. Unfortunately, Williams was a dud (two catches, 17 yards).

Williams was the first tight end off the board in the 2015 NFL Draft for a reason. His size, speed and talent are a great recipe for success for his position. Nevertheless, the team was not able to utilize it last week because the game plan was all about the running game. While we should see more of the same this week against the Browns, the Ravens are missing their top target in Steve Smith Sr. who is out with a rib injury. This means there are plenty of targets left to go around. Look for Joe Flacco to utilize the middle of the field more this week and test the coverage with the size and speed of Williams.

Prediction: 4 receptions, 65 receiving yards
