Should You Start or Sit Jameson Williams in Week 14?
Williams with a pair of catches on Detroit’s 15-play opening drive last week and am interested in him in this matchup. On the surface, this looks like a full fade spot — the Packers are the sixth-best defense at limiting deep yardage and the very best in the NFL at taking the ball away on those vertical shots.
Has Williams’ game developed enough to produce in a spot where the opponent’s strength matches up with his primary path to fantasy goodness?
If last week proves to be the start of something, this week could serve as a true turning point. Williams caught all five of his passes thrown less than 10 yards downfield on Thanksgiving — the catch rate is nice, but the volume of such looks is even better.
Williams’ expected PPR points by week:
- Week 7 at Minnesota Vikings: 1.7 points
- Week 10 at Houston Texans: 7.9 points
- Week 11 vs. Jacksonville Jaguars: 10.3 points
- Week 12 at Indianapolis Colts: 11.9 points
- Week 13 vs. Chicago Bears: 13.7 points
I’m Flexing Williams this week, and if he can come through in this matchup, we might be looking at a sprint to the finish line where he is a top-20 producer at the position as Detroit looks to secure the NFC’s top seed.
