Should You Start or Sit Jameson Williams in Week 12?
I don’t want to cost myself a job, but shouldn’t a fantasy site just hire Jared Goff and ask him which Lions are going to be featured?
Jameson Williams and Sam LaPorta have had their ups and downs this season, not because they aren’t talented but because Detroit scores too fast in other avenues.
Case in point: You likely weren’t feeling great about playing Williams at halftime last week. He hadn’t done anything and the Lions were up 22 points. As a Williams manager, I know I was already assuming a dud week at intermission and seeing if I could tweak my lineups for the late games to make up for the sub-par performance.
Four plays into the second half, Jamo added 14.9 PPR points to his afternoon, and all was right in the world. In eight games this season, Williams has cleared 75 receiving yards five times, but he also has a pair of single-digit performances.
If we are assuming that LaPorta is back, there is a floor to strongly consider, but with the Colts creating pressure when not blitzing at the fourth-lowest rate this season, Goff should have plenty of time to pick apart this secondary down the field.
You know the risk that comes with play — it’s something I’m willing to overlook in a week where the expectation is for Detroit to score 29 points.
