Should You Start or Sit Williams in Week 15?
Expectations were sky high for Williams for the majority of last week, with Amon-Ra St. Brown seemingly on the wrong side of questionable.
Detroit’s star receiver ended up suiting up, and it didn’t hurt Williams’ stock in the least. He had a rush attempt in the first quarter that finished inside the two-yard line, and that touchdown would have been nice, but no one is complaining about nine targets, seven catches, and 96 receiving yards.
Williams’ 29% target share on Thursday night was his second-highest in a healthy St Brown game this season (32% against the Browns in Week 4), and it was his fourth time clearing 17 PPR points in a five-game stretch. The volume is one thing, but even more encouraging is the versatility of those looks.
For the first time in his career, Williams has consecutive games with multiple catches at or behind the line of scrimmage. The game-breaking plays over the top are always going to be a pathway for JaMo to reward you for your trust, but if this Dan Campbell system is exploring him in space, the floor/ceiling math changes in a huge way.
He’s never going to be able to outrun all of his risk, but Williams is a player I’m more comfortable with today than I was a month ago and is the type of moderate risk I’d be more than willing to take in the fantasy postseason.
