The Detroit Lions will host the New York Giants in Week 12. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR Jameson Williams.
Is Jameson Williams Playing in Week 12?
Williams is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Lions’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Williams in Week 12?
In the two games since Dan Campbell took over playcalling duties, Williams has six catches for 108 yards and two TDs on first downs (in his first eight games this season: six catches for 123 yards and zero touchdowns in such spots).
The effort to get him involved is there, and that’s all we need. His skill set is going to come with some statistical ups-and-downs; that’s just the way it is, but if the play calls are going to put him in spots to win, I’m comfortable betting on him.
He’s scored in three straight, the one last week coming on a nice route where he was streaking across the middle of the field and leveraged his speed to put the defender in a tough spot.
I like the player and am growing to love the way it’s used. With Sam LaPorta on the shelf, it’s wheels up from a quality and quantity point of view when it comes to targets for Williams: he’s my WR16 this week, ranking ahead of A.J. Brown and George Pickens, to name a few.
