Who Should I Start? Calvin Ridley or Jameson Williams

Tuesday, November 18, 6:35 PM

The Tennessee Titans officially placed wide receiver Calvin Ridley (leg) on season-ending Injured Reserve on Tuesday and signed receiver James Proche II to the active 53-man roster in a corresponding move, according to Jim Wyatt of the team's website. Ridley broke his fibula in Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans and will miss the rest of 2025. In addition to Ridley's injury, rookie wideouts Chimere Dike (chest) and Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) were injured in Week 11 and did not return. It means the Titans' WR corps could be dangerously thin for their Week 12 tilt against the visiting Seattle Seahawks. If Dike and Ayomanor are both unable to play this weekend, it would mean much larger roles for veteran Van Jefferson and Mason Kinsey in the passing game, with tight ends Chig Okonkwo and Gunnar Helm also seeing target boosts.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams had a brutal showing in Week 12 against the New York Giants, recording zero receptions on three targets. The 24-year-old is one of the most difficult players for fantasy managers to predict. He's recorded at least 66 receiving yards and a touchdown in four out of his last six games, but the two contests where he did not reach those marks were both zero-catch performances. Williams and the Lions now get a tough matchup in Week 13 against the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving Day. Through 12 weeks, the Packers defense is allowing the fewest yards per pass attempt (5.9) in the NFL. Williams struggled against Green Bay in his first matchup against them back in Week 1, recording four catches for 23 yards on five targets. However, the Lions will be without wide receiver Kalif Raymond (ankle) and top tight ends Sam LaPorta (back) and Brock Wright (neck) in Week 13, which could mean more targets for Williams. He profiles as a boom-bust, low-end fantasy WR2 in against Green Bay.
