Against former offensive coordinator Ben Johnson and the Chicago Bears, Detroit has the chance to prove that last week&#8217;s struggles offensively were simply a fluke.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_c7gow4d7m\">One player who could have a big role in Sunday&#8217;s game is <a class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_1qh8jo1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/lions\/news\/lions-2025-week-2-depth-chart\">wide receiver Jameson Williams<\/a>. After signing a new three-year contract extension, Williams was limited to 23 yards on four catches in the season opener.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_uhfrky39x\">With game-changing speed, the wideout has the opportunity to generate big plays every time he catches the ball. As a result, Drew Ellis of <a class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_1qh8jo1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsbettingdime.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Sports Betting Dime<\/a> believes Williams could have a big bounce back performance in terms of his receiving output.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_fby7z9483\">Ellis has tabbed Williams achieving over 51.5 receiving yards (-111 via DraftKings Sportsbook) as his best bet for the Lions&#8217; Week 2 matchup.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_mdmqujjzn\">&#8220;The Lions offense feels like a bit of a mystery right now,&#8221; Ellis told Lions OnSI. &#8220;With the OC change and the middle of the offensive line looking lost last week, there\u2019s a lot to be hesitant about when making a pick for this unit. One thing we know is that Jameson Williams needs to be a focal point. His explosiveness is rare in this league, as he can take any ball to the house when he gets in space.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_wby2lbgca\">Williams has continued to impress the Lions&#8217; coaching staff with his growth, as he has transformed into an all-around wideout after entering the league known primarily for his speed. As a result, he has developed the trust of the Lions&#8217; coaching staff. <\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_j99hr379v\">This resulted in his new contract, and his outlook for the 2025 season remains positive despite a slow start in Week 1. With Bears cornerback Kyler Gordon ruled out and Pro Bowler Jaylon Johnson likely to shadow Amon-Ra St. Brown, Williams could have <a class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_1qh8jo1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/lions\/news\/lions-2025-week-2-depth-chart\">plenty of opportunities<\/a> on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_c4rxozr5y\">&#8220;Given the new contract and a solid training camp, we know the Lions want to get him the ball in space,&#8221; Ellis said. &#8220;I expect Williams to be a focus of the offensive game plan today. Look for him to break a big one and get over his total of 51.5 yards.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_bec0ibc9u\">The Lions&#8217; Week 2 matchup against the Bears is set for a 1 p.m. kickoff at Ford Field, and will be televised on FOX. <\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_gioqrdofg\"><em>Game odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_s9uazrzks\"><em>If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, call 1-800-GAMBLER.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/lions\/news\/best-bet-jameson-williams-ignites-lions-offense-week-two-2025\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a sluggish effort that resulted in just 13 points, the Detroit Lions are looking to bounce back.
