Should You Start or Sit Williams in Week 11?
Williams is far from perfect, but for fantasy managers, he’s good enough.
Amid snow flurries and dropped passes, Williams found his way to a fourth game this season with over 24 fantasy points, this time on the back of a season-high 49% of his production coming on the ground.
His ability to move (both within and out of the pocket) is what has me expecting another QB1 finish in this specific spot. The Vikings have an aggressive defense that likes to use exotic schemes, but Williams has faced them three times in his young career and handled the pressure just fine last week (five-of-nine with a touchdown).
That showing against the Giants was good enough to be the sixth time in eight games in which he posted a triple-digit passer rating when blitzed. Combine that passing savvy with the raw athleticism, and we could see a near replica of the stat line he put up last week, one that was essentially what he gave us in the opener against these Vikings.
I doubt it’ll be a flawless effort, but over the course of the 37.9 opportunities he averages, I like our chances of getting to 20 fantasy points one way or another.
