I think both have been injured awhile.  IIRC, Williams missed a lot of OTAs?

Here's a recent Rotoworld piece:

Panthers TE Brandon Williams (groin surgery) will be limited when training camp opens next week.
Williams underwent a minor procedure in June and is expected back for the second week of camp. It's a note for preseason DFS players to file away. Williams, a former college basketball player and athletic freak, logged a heavy 58 snaps in last year's exhibition opener and produced 3-50-1. Be sure he's healthy before using him this year. Jul 23 - 10:45 AM

 And from July 23: this on both Williams & Presley

Rivera said two injured players will not be ready when the Panthers begin camp – backup tight end Brandon Williams (groin) and reserve wideout De’Andre Presley (shin splints).

Angelo Wright, Williams’ agent, said Williams underwent minor surgery in June and should be ready by the end of the second week of camp.

Rivera said Presley’s injury is similar to the stress fracture in his left leg that caused him to begin last season on the physically unable to perform list.

Presley missed the first nine games while on the PUP list. He returned to play in four games before ending the season on injured reserve after sustaining a concussion against Cleveland.

If the final WR/TE spot came down to Williams, Bersin and Cotchery, who would you pick? 

Tough not to go for the Crotch every time. Most yards. Higher catch %, Way more plays over 20 yards. 

Plus all the fair catches. Jeeeez.

Swole would be my #2 simply because of the position, But he's not #1 because eventually they are going to pee test him.

Brandon Williams has so much potential, but he hardly ever get any playing time.  Maybe he's not the greatest practice player, but by now I just want to see him on the field.  What's the point of having him on the team any more if he never sees the field?

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Teams do some super stupid stuff with mid-fairly good QBs. I think they are just absolutely terrified they will be stuck with a QB that is not the quality of the QB they have now, even if its someone like Daniel Jones. Lots of trash QBs go in the first round. I encourage you to take a look at the sad, sad list of first round QBs in the last 15 years.

      No, it will be a raw 6'7" 17-year-old European who just played basketball for the first time in March and who the idiot GM "had first on our board." He'll play the whole G-League season, get in 42 games for the Hornets and average 1.1 ppg on 35% shooting. Been there, seen that.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      We missed on Burns at his peak value. That’s the problem with trading for picks 2-3 years away (which people were convinced the Rams would suck by now and these would be higher picks btw). Each year away the pick is the further in value it drops. Fitt was clearly hired based on turning us around quickly. It’s one of the many reasons tanking isn’t really a thing as our player JJ is telling you in this original article. It would take the whole organization from the owners down admitting they aren’t winning soon with Burns and picks 2-3 years away having more value because that’s when we are still rebuilding. It would only make sense if Fitt had a longer leash and would more than likely be the ones making these picks anyway which you wouldn’t want. The question is would you rather have those Rams picks with the strong possibility of Fitt still being here or would you rather Fitt try to “win now” like he did and expedite his firing? Altering the timeline would affect more than just the Rams picks.
