Should You Start or Sit Kyle Williams in Week 1?
There’s a lot to like about the situation that Kyle Williams finds himself in, and that’s why you drafted him. He garnered third-round draft capital in April and joins an offense without much proven talent at the receiver position and a franchise quarterback seemingly in place.
I can get behind going this direction. Long-term.
In the short term, your roster will be awfully tough if Williams is on your radar. Yes, I’m playing him over me in my league of “Kyle’s”, but unless you’re in such a league, the pride of Washington State, who had six games with under 60 receiving yards last season, is sitting on your bench until we see some proof of concept at the professional level.
