        The Patriots selected Washington State WR Kyle Williams with the 69th pick of Round 3 in the 2025 NFL Draft. His 4.4 speed makes him a deep threat, specializing in corner and post routes. Williams spent his first three seasons at UNLV before transferring to Washington State due to coaching changes. He compiled 131 catches, 2,043 receiving yards, and 20 TDs over the past two seasons. He had a 6.33 Relative Athletic Score (RAS) based on his predraft testing. He also ranked 12th among Combine WRs in 2024 Target Share at 26.2%, and 12th among those WRs in PFF Receiving Grade with am 82.1. He is currently 22 years old with a Breakout Age of 19.1. He ranked 20th among WRs in our Draft Sharks predraft Rookie Model scoring a 6.18. Our Comp for him in our Rookie Guide is Markus Wheaton. He did struggle at the Senior Bowl, but the upside and draft capital for Williams gives him a chance to make a fantasy impact.

        2025 Fantasy Football Impact

        Williams' draft capital shows commitment from New England and he has a wide open shot to make an instant impact.

        His best role is as a deep threat, which may make him a better NFL player than fantasy player.

        He should be a late redraft flier whose opportunity and pairing with QB Drake Maye gives him upside.

        Dynasty Impact

        The situation is great for Williams, but he doesn't offer a complete skill set.

        He make for a swing in the third round of rookie drafts in hopes that Williams can develop into a consistent fantasy threat.
