Jameson Williams

Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams is having his best NFL season, but it is set to be interrupted by a suspension.

Jameson Williams‘ breakout season may be coming to a brief pause. According to ESPN’s Eric Woodyard (and via ESPN’s Adam Schefter), the Lions wide receiver is facing a two-game suspension for violating the NFL s PED policy. Williams spoke to Woodyard, stating that he’s disappointed with the development and has no choice but to take it […]

The Detroit Lions will be without Jameson Williams for two games due to a violation of the NFL's performance-enhancing substances policy.

ESPN's wording is a little unclear, but it appears the ban will begin immediately, meaning Williams will miss games against the Titans and Packers. The third-year pro seems to have copped to the crime, telling ESPN he has "no choice but to take it on the chin." He also said he is "in good spirits just ready to get back with the my brothers ASAP soon as possible." Williams' snaps had been down ever so slightly the past two weeks, while his targets have been dwindling for a month. It's fair to wonder if the Lions have known for a week or two. This is a major rupture of trust between team and player after coach Dan Campbell in particular displayed unwavering public faith in Williams following his gambling ban. It's possible his role could be decreased upon his return, but he still does things role players like Kalif Raymond and Tim Patrick can't. Despite the headache and uncertainty, we would keep Williams around on our fantasy benches.

Williams is expected to receive a two-game suspension for violating the NFL's policy regarding performance-enhancing substances, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
