  • Increased duties on tap

    Willson is in line to take over as the Seahawks' No. 1 tight end in Sunday's game against the Ravens after Will Dissly (Achilles) officially ruled out for the season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Dissly suffered his second season-ending injury in as many years in the Week 6 win over the Browns. After Dissly exited the contest early, Willson played a season-high 56 offensive snaps and caught two of three targets for 16 yards. With a full week of starter's reps on tap, Willson could see his role expand a bit more versus Baltimore, though his prior production suggests he won't see nearly as much involvement as Dissly did. Willson's best statistical season came all the way back in 2014,…read more

  • Two catches in win

    Willson caught two of three targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 32-28 win over the Browns.

    Analysis: Will Dissly left in the first half with a potentially season-ending Achilles injury, so Willson stepped into the No. 1 tight end role for the remainder of the outing. He didn't make use of his increased role, although more chances could be on tap after a week of practicing as the starter. Willson's not as talented as Dissly, but Russell Wilson targeted Will Dissly five times in the red zone this year, so Willson could absorb some of those opportunities.

  • Snags two passes in season debut

    Willson caught both of his targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: The Seahawks have full confidence in starter Will Dissly, as he played 50 offensive snaps compared to 16 for Willson. However, Willson's a solid rotational piece, as he has five years of history with the Seahawks and clearly still has chemistry with Russell Wilson. He shouldn't be counted on in the fantasy realm, especially with the chance Ed Dickson (knee) returns Week 9 versus the Buccaneers.

  • Returns to Seattle

    Willson signed a contract with the Seahawks on Wednesday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Willson's spot on the 53-man roster comes following the Seahawks' decision to trade Nick Vannett to the Steelers. The 29-year-old tight end now rejoins Seattle's roster to provide depth behind Will Dissly.

  • Parts ways with Oakland

    The Raiders released Willson on Friday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Willson spent the offseason competing for a depth role in Oakland, but he was unable to carve out a spot on the initial 53-man roster behind top tight end Darren Waller. The 29-year-old should have little trouble catching on in a depth capacity with another team.

  • Impressing as pass catcher

    Willson has impressed as a receiver in spring workouts, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: With Jared Cook now in New Orleans, the Raiders have a void to fill at tight end. While Darren Waller has received the majority of offseason hype among Oakland tight ends, Willson can't be forgotten about in advance of the 2019 season. After all, Willson may have a higher chance of being an every-down player given his advanced blocking skills. His odds in that regard will only rise if Willson continues to establish himself as a worthwhile option in the passing game.

  • Inks deal with Raiders

    Willson (concussion) signed a one-year contract with the Raiders on Friday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM Radio reports.

    Analysis: With Jared Cook leaving for New Orleans, the Raiders will bring in Willson to reinforce their tight end corps. Willson was serviceable for the Seahawks with 11 touchdowns in five seasons, but he had just 13 catches for 87 yards and zero scores for the Lions in 2018. He'll battle veteran Lee Smith for the No. 1 role in Oakland, but fantasy owners shouldn't be picking up either player anytime soon.

  • Disappointing in Detroit

    Willson (concussion) caught 13 passes for 87 yards and no touchdowns over 14 games for the Lions in 2018.

    Analysis: Willson came over from Seattle last offseason with a prime opportunity to take over an every-down role for a Detroit team that had no clear answers at the tight end position. However, he failed to emerge as either a consistent blocker or receiving option and ultimately fell behind the uninspiring Levine Toilolo on the depth chart before sitting out the Lions' regular-season finale due to a concussion. Willson will look to get back to full health before re-entering the free-agent market at the…read more

  • Unavailable for season finale

    Willson (concussion) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Packers, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Willson sustained a concussion during last week's loss to the Vikings and will not clear the league-mandated protocol in time to suit up Week 17. The sixth-year pro has 13 receptions for 87 yards on the season.

  • No practice Wednesday

    Willson (concussion) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Willson never returned to last Sunday's game against the Vikings after exiting to be evaluated for a head injury. His absence from Wednesday's practice suggests he remains under the concussion protocol. If he isn't able to return to practice Thursday or Friday, Willson's 2018 campaign is likely in the books.

  • Under evaluation for head injury

    Willson exited late in the first half of Sunday's game against the Vikings to be evaluated for a concussion, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Analysis: The Lions should provide an update on Willson's availability -- or lack thereof -- for the rest of the game shortly after halftime concludes. As per usual, the tight end didn't see any involvement in the passing game prior to departing.

  • No looks in passing game

    Willson logged 24 offensive snaps during Sunday's 14-13 loss to the Bills but didn't draw a target.

    Analysis: The Lions have experimented with Willson at fullback in recent weeks with Nick Bellore (ankle) injured, but offensive guard Joe Dahl seems to have emerged as the preferred replacement at the position. Willson is thus slated to finish the 2018 campaign in a blocking-oriented backup role behind starting tight end Levine Toilolo.

  • Not targeted in passing game

    Willson was not targeted in the passing game during Sunday's 17-3 victory over Arizona.

    Analysis: Willson played on just 35 percent of the offensive snaps, compared to 80 percent for Levine Toilolo and 15 percent for Michael Roberts. With no more than 21 receiving yards in any of 13 games in 2018 and no touchdowns to his name, Willson isn't worth any consideration in any fantasy format.

  • Sees time at fullback

    Willson caught one of two targets for eight yards during Sunday's loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: With Nick Bellore (ankle) sidelined, Willson and Joe Dahl split responsibilities at fullback. Willson remained a minuscule part of the passing offense in this role while watching Levine Toilolo bust out for six receptions and 90 receiving yards. It's impossible to trust him as a fantasy option in Week 14 against Arizona.

  • One target against Bears

    Willson caught one pass for four yards during Thursday's 23-16 loss to Chicago.

    Analysis: Time and time again, it's clear Willson isn't a critical part of Detroit's offensive game plan, which was particularly discouraging with both Marvin Jones (knee) and Kerryon Johnson (knee) sidelined. The tight end is nothing more than a touchdown-dependent fantasy option entering a potentially high-scoring affair with the Rams in Week 13.

  • Catchless in win

    Willson was targeted once but did not record a catch during Sunday's 20-19 win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: Coming off his best stretch of the year, during which he caught seven passes in three games, Willson was held without a catch for the third time this season. The veteran tight end has not been effective in the passing game and is less valuable from a fantasy perspective than backup Michael Roberts, who missed Sunday's game with a shoulder injury. Thursday brings a Chicago defense that has harassed opposing passing offenses all season.

  • Cleared to face Panthers

    Willson (shoulder) doesn't carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Panthers.

    Analysis: Willson logged limited practices Wednesday and Thursday and ended the week with a full practice Friday. The 28-year-old's return from a one-game absence comes at an opportune time for the Lions with fellow tight end Michael Roberts (shoulder) unavailable Sunday. Willson has logged at least 30 offensive snaps in each of his last four games and should extend that streak in Week 11.

  • Remains limited at practice

    Willson (shoulder) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Willson was limited throughout the Lions' practices last week before sitting out Sunday's 34-22 loss to the Bears. His practice participation has followed the same pattern thus far in Week 11, so Willson may need to log a full session Friday before he can be considered a decent bet to play this weekend against Carolina. Meanwhile, Willson's main backup, Michael Roberts (shoulder), was sidelined for a second straight practice, putting Levine Toilolo next in line to start at tight end if neither…read more

  • Unavailable Week 10

    Willson (shoulder) is listed as inactive Sunday in Chicago.

    Analysis: Willson was limited at practice by a shoulder injury in advance of this game, which oftentimes isn't enough to warrant an absence on gameday. He's bucked that trend, though, giving second-year TE Michael Roberts a chance to take on a larger role in the Lions offense. On the season, Roberts has hauled in five of nine passes for 75 yards and three touchdowns in five contests.

  • Questionable for Week 10

    Willson (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Chicago.

    Analysis: The Lions' most-prominent TE addition in the offseason, Willson has proceeded to earn the most snaps in the group this season. The trend has continued since the team's Week 6 bye, but second-year pro Michael Roberts has been getting more involved in the offense over the last three games. If Willson is unable to go this weekend, Roberts and (to a lesser extent) Levine Toilolo will be the Lions' acting tight ends.

  • Fits in limited practice

    Willson (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Analysis: Though Willson is seemingly less than fully healthy after back-to-back limited practices, his involvement in any capacity this early in the week bodes well for his odds of suiting up Sunday against the Bears. Willson should retain his starting role if cleared to play, but he may not be guaranteed an overwhelming share of the playing time at tight end. Backup Michael Roberts actually earned more work than Willson in the Week 9 loss to Minnesota, logging 36 offensive snaps to the latter's 34.

  • Nursing shoulder injury

    Willson was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice due to a shoulder issue, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Analysis: This marks Willson's first appearance on the injury report since the preseason. While there doesn't seem to be any immediate concern over Willson's availability for Sunday's showdown against Chicago, Michael Roberts would presumably serve as Detroit's preferred pass-catching tight end if the former's health takes a turn for the worse in the next few days.

  • Two catches against Vikings

    Willson caught two passes for 17 yards during Sunday's 24-9 loss to the Vikings.

    Analysis: Willson, who entered the game averaging 1.9 targets per game, continues to serve in a minor role for the Vikings and there's been no indication that will change anytime soon.
