High-ankle sprain

Nerdy Football Analysis: Williams’ fantasy managers catch a bit of a break with the timing of this injury – the Chargers go on their bye in Week 8 – but it would be overly optimistic for anyone to believe he will be ready to perform at his usual level by Week 9. High-ankle sprains tend to affect players that don’t give them time to fully heal for the rest of the season. Josh Palmer likely goes right back to WR3 consideration even with Keenan Allen (hamstring) healthy, while Gerald Everett will likely remain a low-end TE1 option.
