Should You Start or Sit Jameson Williams in Week 11?
Jameson Williams returned from his two-game PES suspension on Sunday night and gave us … well, he gave us essentially spot-on what his season averages tell us to expect (three catches for 53 yards).
That may sound underwhelming, but that’s on you if you’re expecting more. We were all encouraged by what we saw early in the season, but on a per-game basis, Williams is giving us 2.9 catches for 59.1 yards. He hasn’t taken the leap forward that we expected, and I’d argue that he is closer to regressing than progressing.
In Year 2, his catch rate is identical to what it was in Year 1 (57.1%) with a near mirror image in terms of aDOT (15.6 yards this season, 15.8 last). The hot start to the season was nice, but that’s proven to very much be the outlier and not the norm. In his five games since, he’s earned a target on just 12.5% of routes, a rate below what he produced as a rookie (17.5%).
Now, he did make a few tough catches that proved critical in Detroit’s comeback win last week, and maybe that sparks something, but he’s firmly in the “I need to see it” tier.
He could show us something against a Jags defense that allows the second most yards per deep pass attempt through 10 weeks (16.5), and I’m fine with you considering him as a Flex option, I’m just not saying you have to (I have Ladd McConkey and Cedric Tillman ranked just ahead of him as a part of the same tier).
