The New York Giants will welcome the Washington Commanders to MetLife Stadium on Thursday night for a Week 10 matchup.
With that, it provides us here at Giants Wire the opportunity to hypothetically steal some talent from Washington's roster in hopes of addressing a few pressing needs for Big Blue.
The Giants have a promising young receiving duo in Malik Nabers and Malachi Fields, but there is still room for improvement behind them. Adding another young playmaker who can contribute both inside and outside would give the offense another dimension.
That makes Commanders wide receiver Antonio Williams an intriguing option. Of course, adding someone like Terry McLaurin or Stefon Diggs would be appealing, but we're trying to look a little deeper here.
Williams, a third-round pick (71st overall) in the 2026 NFL draft, is just 22 years old and already showing flashes of what he can become at the next level. Through eight games in his rookie season, the Clemson product has recorded 26 receptions for 284 yards and one touchdown on 39 targets.
His production has been modest so far, but his role has started to grow. Williams has recorded at least three receptions in five consecutive games, including eight catches for 79 yards on 13 targets over his last two outings.
One of Williams' biggest selling points is his versatility. He can line up both outside and in the slot, giving an offensive coordinator flexibility to move him around and create favorable matchups. He has also shown an ability to make plays downfield. At Clemson, Williams recorded five receptions for 181 yards on deep targets in 2025, according to PFF.
The Giants could use that skill set. Nabers and Fields give New York two young outside options, but the team should still be looking to upgrade its No. 3 wide receiver spot. Williams could provide a dependable underneath option while also offering the potential to stretch the field and create opportunities for his teammates.
There are some limitations to consider. Williams is still developing as a route runner at the NFL level, and his 284 receiving yards this season show that he hasn't established himself as a consistent explosive playmaker just yet. He's more of a developing weapon than a finished product, but that's part of the appeal.
The Giants would be acquiring a 22-year-old receiver with plenty of room to grow and the versatility to fit multiple roles in their offense. If New York wants to continue building around Nabers and Fields, Williams would be a worthwhile target.
What say you, Giants fans? Would you steal Antonio Williams from the Commanders, or is there another Washington player you'd rather see in blue?
