Should You Start or Sit Jameson Williams in Week 7?
The Lions are playing 4D chess these days. In between trying to scheme up hook and ladders to linemen, Detroit’s offense found time to quick snap the Cowboys last week after seeing a coverage edge and exploiting it by way of a 37-yard touchdown to Williams, positioning the burner for his fourth top-24 finish of the season.
Despite having the best EPA pass defense in the league, the Vikings have allowed a receiver to reach 18 fantasy points in each of their past four. While Williams has 76 more receiving yards and five more big plays than Amon-Ra St. Brown this season, he’s still the WR2 in the Lions’ offense, and this is far from an advantageous matchup against an undefeated team coming off a bye.
With various injuries impacting the WR rankings, I still have Williams as a top-24 receiver this week, though I will admit that I’m nervous and will be avoiding him in DFS formats (10 catches in Weeks 1-2, six grabs since).
