An ode to Mike Williams

There comes a time in every man’s life when they have to block out the haters. In my case, this is a frequent occurance.

Recently, a lot of hate has been thrown my way for deciding to consistently start Chargers’ WR Mike Williams.

Sure, the 26-year-old isn’t Cooper Kupp or Tyreek Hill, but those guys weren’t available anyway.

In any case, the hosts of the “well known” League Talk podcast have constantly questioned the decision to start the Los Angeles flanker. Did they have reason to? Perhaps. Have I proved them wrong? Indeed.

In three weeks of fantasy action, Mike Williams has been on a tear (18.2 week 1, 18.6 week 2, 29.7 week 3). For those with limited math skills, that’s an average of 22.1 points per week. According to ESPN, that makes Williams the second highest scoring wide receiver in all of football. Look it up, it’s true.

Well who cares about individual stats if you’re losing? Likely no one. But I’m no loser.

After a brutal loss to Thomas & Friends, I had to face the league’s most feared team — HockeyPro 69 (or something like that). Again, most predicted I would fall to the mighty Abie. Again, they were wrong. With a little help from Mike Williams, Waller Nothing took this one 141.64 to 106.9. Not even close.

As the great Michael Jordan once said, “I’m back.”
