Should You Start or Sit Kyle Williams in Week 2?
Kyle Williams ran just five routes in his NFL debut last weekend against the Raiders. He caught his only target (12 yards). In the loss to the Raiders, Williams and 10 of his friends saw a target, a level of distribution that is going to make it impossible for a very fringe guy in deeper formats to hold any value whatsoever.
I know it was his introduction to the NFL, but he wasn’t even close to being a part of the plan, and that was in a game where DeMario Douglas turned seven targets into negative-2 yards.
I understand the idea of rostering a player like Williams in dynasty formats; you’re hoping that Drake Maye’s development can be a rising tide that lifts all youthful boats, but outside of that, there’s no need to hold steady.
