Should You Start or Sit Mike Williams in Week 13?
On paper, Mike Williams makes a lot of sense for this offense, and maybe he will acclimate with time. But we are in the business of building a winning roster for Week 13. Despite the plus matchup, it’s impossible to call Flexing Williams anything more than a prayer.
Williams’ snap shares with Pittsburgh:
- Week 10 at Washington Commanders: 12%
- Week 11 vs. Baltimore Ravens: 31.1%
- Week 12 at Cleveland Browns: 28.4%
He’s seen one target as a Steeler, and of course, it was a 32-yard score. Pittsburgh was playing the long game when they acquired the deep threat, and we don’t have that luxury right now. Williams can be stashed in deep roster situations, but if you’re chasing a playoff berth, he’s not the type of player that needs to remain rostered.
