Should You Start or Sit Jameson Williams in Week 13?
Nobody is claiming that Jameson Williams is a perfect receiver, but the fact that he led the Lions in targets (seven) and receiving yards (64) in the easy win over the Colts last week was encouraging as he prepares for an advantageous matchup against a divisional opponent.
Chicago has given up at least 19 PPR points to a receiver four times this season. The names on that list:
- Jordan Addison (30.2 points in Week 12)
- Nico Collins (27.5 points in Week 2)
- Gabe Davis (21.5 points in Week 6)
- Christian Watson (19 points in Week 11)
All of those receivers have the game-breaker DNA. While the big plays have been spotty for Williams since the beginning of October, that doesn’t mean that potential has been removed from his profile, especially when playing on Detroit’s fast track.
Williams has earned at least five targets in three straight games. If he can extend that streak, I like his chances of returning Flex production across the board.
