Alright, so the other day I got curious about Jameson Williams and his fantasy points from back in 2022. It feels like ages ago, but with fantasy drafts kinda sorta on the horizon, I wanted to jog my memory about his rookie year impact, or lack thereof.
First thing I did was just plop myself down with my tablet. Opened up a browser, you know, the usual routine. I typed something simple into the search bar, probably like “jameson williams 2022 fantasy points”. Hit enter and waited for the magic to happen.
Got a bunch of results back, naturally. Lots of different sports sites and fantasy platforms popped up. I started clicking through a few of the usual suspects – sites I typically use for stats. Some showed his basic season line, but it looked kinda weird, obviously really low numbers.
Then it clicked, I remembered – ah yeah, the ACL injury from college. He missed most of his rookie season in 2022 recovering. That explained why just searching for a total season score wasn’t giving me much useful info. His season total was going to be tiny no matter what scoring system you used.
So, I changed my approach. I realized I didn’t need a big season number, I needed to see the specifics of the few games he actually played in late that year. I refined my search, maybe added “game log” or “2022 stats week by week” to his name.
That gave me better results. I started seeing breakdowns of his performance for the weeks he was active. It wasn’t much, remember?
Digging into the Game Logs
I landed on a couple of stat pages that listed his game appearances. I started jotting them down or just mentally noting them. Let’s see, what did I find?
- Week 13 vs Jaguars: I saw he was active but didn’t record a catch. Maybe targeted once? Points: zero, or close to it depending on target points in some leagues.
- Week 14 vs Vikings: Ah, this was the one! His first catch, and it was a long touchdown. Okay, so some points here. One catch, 41 yards, 1 TD. That’s like 11.1 points in standard PPR (1 point for the catch, 4.1 for yards, 6 for the TD).
- Following Weeks: Then I scanned the rest of the games he played in December and early January. Saw maybe one other catch somewhere? And a rushing attempt that went for a big gain, I think it was a reverse? Yeah, found it – a 40-yard run in Week 17. That adds another 4 points.
So, putting it all together wasn’t about finding some big impressive season total. It was about confirming he barely played, had that one receiving touchdown flash, and one long run. The actual fantasy point total for 2022 was super low because he only really played in about six games and was eased in slowly.
My main takeaway from doing this little research dive wasn’t really about the exact point number, because it was minimal. It was more about confirming the timeline and the context – the late start, the limited usage. It was a good reminder that just looking at a single season total number doesn’t always tell the whole story, especially for a guy coming off a major injury like that. You gotta dig into the week-by-week sometimes.
