Jameson Williams’ Hot Streak Gives The Vikings A Challenge They Should Be Up For
Jameson Williams can make Brian Flores pay for his aggression like no other Lion.
He is currently on an upswing per The Viking Age: two touchdowns in back-to-back games and a 100-yard outing prior to that. Last week vs Packers: 5 catches on 9 targets for 91 yards and 2 TDs.
DraftSharks notes: hit his ceiling in three straight, but Vikings present difficult matchup — second-toughest in adjusted fantasy points allowed to WRs.
Vikings lead NFL in blitz rate each of Flores’ first three seasons, continuing this year with shocking 85.2% blitz rate in Week 7 win over Colts — set single-game record dating to Next Gen Stats era 2016. Blitzing leaves coverage vulnerable, and Williams is the “it only takes one play” guy.
But Flores has had answers before: In five games vs Vikings since Flores became DC:
• Week 16 2023: 5-43 on 6 targets, long 12 • Week 7 2024: 1 catch -4 yards • Week 18 2024: 6-34 on 8 targets, long 14 • Week 9 2025: 4-66 + TD, long 37 • Week 17 2025: 2-37, long 22
Held under 50 yards 4 times, just two 20+ yard catches across five games, YAC kept in check. Averaged 17.2 ypc last season vs Minnesota, but take out 37-yard TD and 22-yarder, averaged 11 ypc on other four.
Lions offense presents challenge Vikings defense hasn’t seen yet this year, but Flores has pretty much had answers for Williams before.
