Should You Start or Sit Mike Williams in Week 14?
I suspect that we will look back at the 2024 NFL trade deadline in six weeks and acknowledge the value added by some of the true contenders. Diontae Johnson joining the Ravens might pay off with time, and Williams with these Steelers could too, but that doesn’t help us today, and I don’t think that’s going to change this week.
Williams’ weekly snap shares with Pittsburgh:
- Week 11 vs. Baltimore Ravens: 31.1%
- Week 12 at Cleveland Browns: 28.4%
- Week 13 at Cincinnati Bengals: 24.2%
Williams’ big catch with Pittsburgh was the 32-yard touchdown that we all remember, but he’s otherwise been an afterthought. Are they saving him? Is he struggling with the playbook?
I like the idea of him in this offense, but at this point, I think it’s safe to say that redraft fantasy managers can stop holding onto hope. Even if Williams sees his role expand, there’s not enough time left in the fantasy season for him to emerge into a Flex-worthy name.
