Should You Start or Sit Williams in Week 14?
The Amon-Ra St. Brown injury last week obviously played a part in Jameson Williams being the focal point of the Detroit passing game against the Packers on Thanksgiving (37% target share), but is that getting too much credit for the explosion?
He’s cleared 85 yards and scored in three of four games since Dan Campbell took over playcalling duties and has seen his aDOT drop by 35.3% in those games. It would appear that the head coach wants offensive versatility (opponents already fear Jahmyr Gibbs and St. Brown) and as he lays the groundwork for that, his explosive WR2 is handing out presents to fantasy managers.
I know, I know. Zero points in Week 12 against a gettable Giants defense. That hurt and likely cost you that week. Heck, I know people who it cost two weeks because they overreacted and benched him for Week 13 as a result.
This is a highly skilled player in a great system that is run by an efficient quarterback. Williams very much falls into the “don’t overthink it” bucket of receivers: you accept the bad for the privilege of rostering the good.
This is another fast track spot and I’m happy to slide him in as a WR2. I think it’s fair to say that this Dallas defense isn’t the turnstile it was for the first two-plus months, but I’d still rather Green Bay’s defense and we just saw them struggle to keep up despite a Detroit gameplan that was forced to adjust on the fly.
I’m starting Williams every week moving forward and not giving it a season thought unless we see some drastic shift in usage patterns.
