Who Should I Start? Bub Means or Savion Williams

Wednesday, August 13, 6:12 PM

The New Orleans Saints placed wide receiver Bub Means (leg) on season-ending Injured Reserve on Wednesday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Means suffered a serious lower-leg injury in the preseason opener against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday and will now miss the entire 2025 season. Before his injury on Sunday, he caught one pass for a gain of 12 yards. It's definitely a blow to the Saints receiving corps after the 24-year-old fifth-rounder last year caught nine of his 15 targets for 118 yards and one touchdown in seven games (one start) in his rookie season. Means also missed the final nine games of his first year in the league with an ankle injury, so he has quickly developed an injury-prone label. Means will now rehab his leg in hopes of being ready for the start of the 2026 season.

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Savion Williams has mostly been limited to special teams and a handful of designed touches over the first eight games. Williams has been used creatively, catching all seven of his targets for 43 yards and a touchdown while also adding eight carries for 28 yards and another score on the ground. The rookie third-round pick out of TCU has strong ball-in-hand skills, which could lead to more of these designed touches as the Packers will be without their best YAC threat in star tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) for the rest of the season. However, it will be difficult to earn consistent playing time behind Romeo Doubs, Christian Watson, and Matthew Golden, in addition to Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) and Jayden Reed (collarbone, foot) when healthy. Williams is also dealing with a foot injury, having been limited in Friday's practice with a foot injury. Williams remains off the radar for redraft leagues for now.
