FIU WR DeAndre Williams: deep threat with upside, but the 2026 stat trail is still thin
DeAndre Williams enters the 2026 FIU picture as a receiver whose appeal is more about projection than a loaded stat sheet; current public team data shows FIU’s receiving production has been spread around, with Eric Nelson Jr. leading the Panthers early in 2025-26. Williams’ draw is the classic WR toolkit—speed, separation potential, and fit for an offense that wants playable depth—but there’s not enough verified 2026 production available here to call him a finished product yet. If your team wants a high-upside, role-ready receiver rather than a polished alpha, he’s worth a look.
