Should You Start or Sit Javonte Williams in Week 7?
Javonte Williams had easily his worst rushing performance of the season over the weekend, against the Panthers no less, but he was able to save the day with five catches.
You could point to those five catches (eight targets) doing next to no damage (five yards) and I’d tell you that you’re right.
And I don’t care.
PPR scoring is the default across the industry, and those five “useless” receptions are essentially just as valuable as a touchdown.
It’s the third time this season that he’s caught at least a handful of passes, and he has a rush TD in the games where that hasn’t been the case. Williams entered 2022 viewed as a disappointing former second-round pick, and now he’s a lineup staple that his fantasy teams can’t live without.
Consider this your weekly reminder to not stay married to preseason takes too long. I put as much work into this stuff as anyone, and I’ve been guilty of holding onto months of research for far too long.
Learn from me. Be better than me.
