Mike Williams emerging as red zone target ... and fantasy value

COSTA MESA, Calif. -- Mike Williams has looked like the real deal so far during training camp, torching New Orleans Saints' defenders during joint practices last week and regularly getting open against his own defense.

Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt has said he likes how much Williams has grown as a wide receiver in his second season.

"He's shown us throughout the course of camp all of the different things he can do," Whisenhunt said. "Whether it's running a shallow crossing route or a curl, you felt like he could catch some of the balls down the field and make the contested catches.
