Jets' Isaiah Williams: Five catches in Week 18
Williams caught five of seven targets for 24 yards and had five kickoff returns for 142 yards in Sunday's 35-8 loss to the Bills. He finished the 2025 season with 26 catches for 193 yards on 36 targets.
After being voted the 2025 Jets team MVP by his teammates, Williams fittingly led the team in targets, catches and receiving yards in the season finale, accounting for 24 of Brady Cook's 60 passing yards. Williams got team MVP honors primarily for his contributions on special teams, as he scored two punt-return touchdowns and racked up 1,460 all-purpose yards, though he got more involved on offense down the stretch with at least four catches in each of the last four games. Williams, who is approaching his 25th birthday, is under contract with the Jets through the 2026 season.

Jets' Isaiah Williams: Goes for 30 yards in defeat
Williams caught four of five targets for 30 yards in the Jets' loss to the Patriots on Sunday.
Williams' five targets were second on the team behind Adonai Mitchell's nine versus New England. However, it was John Metchie who led the team in receiving with 41 yards on three grabs. Williams has become a fixture in three-wide sets for New York and now has 20 catches for 169 yards on 29 targets, with all of that production coming since Week 8. Still, Williams doesn't possess any sort of fantasy ceiling in this broken Jets offense.

Jets' Isaiah Williams: Six catches in defeat
Williams caught six of seven targets for 53 yards and added nine yards on two punt returns in Sunday's 48-20 loss to the Jaguars.
Williams was able to finish with career highs in both catches and receiving yards in Week 15, most notably securing a 25-yard snag in the first quarter. The wide receiver had caught only seven of 13 targets for 61 yards over 11 contests coming into Sunday, so his performance was a bit of a breakout. Williams will look to build off of his day in Week 16 against the Saints.

Jets' Isaiah Williams: Gets second punt return TD of 2025
Williams caught two of three targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins. He also had three punt returns for 91 yards and a touchdown, as well as two kickoff returns for 69 yards.
Williams' 78-yard punt return touchdown in the first quarter accounted for the Jets' only touchdown of the game, though they had already fallen into a 21-0 hole prior to that point. He also scored a punt return touchdown in Week 10 against the Browns. Williams also saw more involvement than usual on offense, catching multiple passes for only the second time this season.

Jets' Isaiah Williams: Nearly scores on kickoff return
Williams didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Falcons. He also had an 83-yard kickoff return and a 16-yard punt return.
Williams didn't make an impact on offense, but both of his returns on special teams helped lead to field goals. His 83-yard kickoff return in the third quarter set up an instant scoring opportunity for the Jets by getting the ball to Atlanta's 15-yard line, and Williams' 16-yard punt return preceded 19 yards of gains from the Jets' offense, which was just enough to set up Nick Folk's game-winning 56-yard field goal on the game's final play. Outside of formats that reward return yards, Williams will remain off the fantasy radar in Week 14 against the Dolphins.

Jets' Isaiah Williams: Touches limited to special teams
Williams had four kickoff returns for 122 yards and three punt returns for 23 yards in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Ravens.
Williams didn't get a touch on offense as his usage on that side of the ball faded, but he contributed significantly on special teams. Kene Nwangwu (hamstring) played through a questionable tag but returned only one kickoff while Williams served as the primary kickoff returner in addition to the depth wideout's usual role returning punts. Williams' fantasy value is confined to formats that reward return yards.

Jets' Isaiah Williams: Significant snap share in Week 11
Williams caught one of four targets for two yards, rushed once for four yards and threw an incomplete pass in Thursday's 27-14 loss to the Patriots. He also returned three punts for 18 yards and added a 24-yard kickoff return.
Williams was on the field for 74 percent of snaps on offense, which ranked second on the team behind John Metchie. That usage was encouraging, though Williams' ceiling as a receiver remains capped in a Justin Fields-led passing game that usually doesn't sniff 200 yards through the air. Williams threw a pass to Fields on a first-quarter trick play, but it bounced off the quarterback's hand incomplete. Up next for the Jets will be a Week 12 trip to Baltimore.

Jets' Isaiah Williams: Scores 74-yard punt return TD
Williams caught his only target for four yards in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Browns. He also returned five punts for 126 yards and a touchdown and had a 23-yard kickoff return.
Just 36 seconds of game time after Kene Nwangwu got the Jets on the board with a 99-yard kickoff-return touchdown, Williams gave the home team a 14-7 first-quarter lead with a 74-yard punt-return touchdown. Williams also tied for second on the Jets in receiving yards with four, but that's more of an indictment on the team's Justin Fields-led passing offense than a compliment to Williams' performance on offense.

Jets' Isaiah Williams: Chips in with three catches in win
Williams caught three of four targets for 31 yards and rushed once for 25 yards in Sunday's 39-38 win over the Bengals. He also tallied five kickoff returns for 132 yards and returned three punts for 38 yards.
Williams played his usual role as a return man on special teams but also got a chance to contribute meaningfully on offense with the Jets missing wide receivers Garrett Wilson (knee) and Josh Reynolds (hip). Williams made the most of his opportunity, but his role on offense is unlikely to expand after the team's Week 9 bye.

Jets' Isaiah Williams: Back on Jets' active roster
The Jets signed Williams from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
It's the second time Williams has been signed to the Jets' active roster this season. The second-year wideout should see most of his playing time against the Panthers on Sunday on special teams as a returner on punts and kickoffs, but he could also see some snaps on offense, as Garrett Wilson (knee) is listed as doubtful for Week 7.

Isaiah Williams: Returns to practice squad
Williams reverted to the Jets' practice squad Sunday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Williams was brought up to the active roster for this past Sunday's loss to Denver and played all 12 of his snaps on special teams. He worked as New York's primary return man in the contest, logging 59 kickoff-return and 32 punt-return yards. Williams served in a similar role earlier in the campaign when he was on the 53-man roster before being cut Oct. 4. He's played just one offensive snap over four contests so far this season.

Jets' Isaiah Williams: Elevated for London contest
The Jets elevated Williams from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
The Jets waived Williams on Oct. 4, but he was back with the team after signing with the practice squad Monday. He has mostly played on special teams this season as a returner on punts and kickoffs, and he'll likely reprise that role during Sunday's game against the Broncos in London, England.

Isaiah Williams: Back with New York
Williams was signed to the Jets' practice squad Monday, Susanna Weir of the team's official website reports.
Williams was waived by the team Saturday before New York lost to the Cowboys, 37-22. The wide receiver has returned two punts for 29 yards and three kickoffs for 70 yards over three contests with the Jets this season, but he lost a fumble in the team's 27-21 loss to the Dolphins in Week 4. Fellow wideout Avery Williams operated as the Jets' primary return specialist in Week 5, but he reverted to the practice squad Monday.

Isaiah Williams: Cut Saturday
The Jets waived Williams on Saturday.
Williams returned one kickoff for 30 yards and one punt for 18 yards Monday night against the Dolphins but lost a critical fumble. He'll now look for a new opportunity elsewhere, though the Jets could bring him back on the practice squad.

Jets' Isaiah Williams: Involved as return man
Williams returned two kickoffs for 40 yards and added an 11-yard punt return in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Bills.
Williams immediately jumped into a prominent role on special teams after signing with the Jets on Wednesday following the team's move to waive previous punt returner Xavier Gipson. Isaiah Davis had five kickoff returns, but Williams was the only player to return a punt for the Jets. Williams is unlikely to see much involvement on offense, even once he grows more familiar with his new surroundings.

Jets' Isaiah Williams: Picked up by Gang Green
The Jets signed Williams off the Bengals' practice squad Wednesday.
The second-year wideout spent time with the Bengals and Lions in 2024, catching two of his three targets for six yards and recording 169 kick-return yards over eight total appearances. With New York waiving Xavier Gipson on Wednesday and Kene Nwangwu (hamstring) potentially sidelined, Williams now will be an option to return kicks in the Jets' Week 2 matchup against the Dolphins.

Isaiah Williams: Sticks with Bengals organization
Williams signed with Cincinnati's practice squad Wednesday.
Williams failed to win a roster spot with the Bengals in 2025 after suiting up for six regular-season games with them in 2024, as well as two with Detroit. He'll likely remain on the practice squad barring an injury to return man Charlie Jones.

Isaiah Williams: Goes to waivers
The Bengals waived Williams on Tuesday.
Williams played eight games as an undrafted rookie last season and mostly worked as a returner, but he couldn't secure the job in Cincinnati with Charlie Jones on board. If Williams clears waivers, he'll likely seek a practice-squad role.

Bengals' Isaiah Williams: Works mostly as returner in 2024
Williams caught two of three targets for six yards over eight regular-season games in 2024. He added 169 yards on five kick returns and 93 yards on 11 punt returns.
Considering that he went unselected in the 2024 NFL Draft, Williams did pretty well for himself by seeing action in eight contests. Two of those came with Detroit, with the remainder coming with Cincinnati after the Bengals claimed him off waivers in early November. Williams isn't slated to reach free agency until 2027, so he should compete for a depth wideout role with the ability to contribute in the return game again next season.

Bengals' Isaiah Williams: Coming to Cincinnati
The Bengals claimed Williams off waivers Friday.
Williams, an undrafted rookie from Illinois, appeared in two games with the Lions before being waived Thursday, catching two of his three targets for six yards across just eight offensive snaps. He'll likely serve as a depth piece in Cincinnati's wide receiver room as the season progresses.
