Who Should I Start? Chris Olave or Jameson Williams

Thursday, October 23, 5:17 PM

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (ankle) was able to practice on a limited basis on Thursday after he was held out on Wednesday due to an ankle injury. Olave didn't look hampered by an ankle injury in the Week 7 loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday, catching five of his seven targets for 98 yards and two touchdowns. It was only the second time in seven games in 2025 where he didn't see double-digit targets, but Olave managed 98 receiving yards for the second straight week and scored for the second and third time this season. The former first-rounder is now up to 44 receptions on 71 targets for 440 yards and three touchdowns on the year and will be a must-start for this weekend's divisional tilt against the visiting Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Olave has been the subject of some trade rumors with the deadline approaching, so his fantasy value could jump even more in the coming weeks if he's on the move.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams saw just two targets and was held without a catch in his team's 24-9 Week 7 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 24-year-old has been one of the most frustrating players in fantasy so far this season, recording just 17 catches for 289 yards and two touchdowns across seven games. Williams has now been held to two or fewer receptions and 43 or fewer receiving yards in five out of seven contests. Williams ranks third on the Lions in targets (30), but his target volume has been more than doubled by Detroit's WR1, Amon-Ra St. Brown (61). As long as Williams continues to average around four targets per game, he's going to have major bust weeks in fantasy. His big-play ability gives him the capability to pop on any given week, but Williams profiles as a boom/bust flex option at best heading into Detroit's Week 8 bye.
