Who Should I Start? Chris Olave or Jameson Williams

Saturday, September 27, 11:06 AM

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave was a target hog against the Seahawks, seeing 14 of the team's 41 pass attempts. However, he turned his game-high 10 receptions into just 57 yards and is still searching for his first touchdown of the season. Olave and starting quarterback Spencer Rattler have built a strong connection, as he leads the league in targets through three weeks. His volume alone keeps him relevant in fantasy lineups, though Week 4 presents a tough matchup against a Bills defense allowing just 131.3 passing yards per game. Olave is a volume-based WR2/WR3 as the clear No. 1 option in the Saints' passing attack.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams caught only two of his seven targets in Sunday's win over the Browns, and he has not topped two receptions in a game since the season opener. In speaking with reporters on Monday, head coach Dan Campbell addressed the connection between Williams and quarterback Jared Goff, saying, "We're just a little bit off." Campbell was quick to downplay any issues of chemistry, saying the team will get back to the drawing board, and "Those guys are gonna be fine." Although Williams has caught only 10 balls on the season, his 21.4-yard average reception is among the highest in the league, so he has not been completely irrelevant for fantasy managers. The Lions face the Bengals in Week 5, and Cincinnati has been one of the most favorable matchups for wide receivers through four weeks. With bye weeks starting around the NFL this week, Williams should make for a fine flex option.
