San Francisco 49ers WR Kyle Williams (knee), who suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in November, is likely to be ready for the start of training camp. Williams was the team's slot receiver until sustaining the injury.
Fantasy Tip: Williams will be in the mix for the No. 3 wideout job, and he also should be in the mix for punt return duties. However, unless he is named as the winner of the battle for the No. 3 job, his fantasy value is negligible.
