Who Should I Start? DeAndre Hopkins or Kyle Williams

Saturday, November 8, 10:18 AM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins hasn't finished inside the top 50 of his position since Week 2 this year. The veteran pass-catcher continues to be more of an outlet option, rather than a consistent threat each week. In Week 9, he failed to bring in the only target he saw in a blowout win over the Miami Dolphins. His opponent in Week 10, the Minnesota Vikings, has been tough against opposing receiving groups this season, and the Ravens have finally gotten healthier on offense. That means there will likely be fewer targets for Hopkins after the other four that are higher in the pecking order. Hopkins isn't a recommended option in any format this week.

New England Patriots wide receiver Kyle Williams could handle additional volume after Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) was ruled out for Sunday's Week 10 contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. We saw Williams get more involved last week after Boutte exited against the Atlanta Falcons. The rookie finished the game with a season-high (and, thus, career-high) 46 percent snap share, but he wasn't able to haul in his lone target. There's a strong chance that Williams plays more than half the snaps this week, but his exact volume is unclear. After all, he's still competing for targets with players like Stefon Diggs, DeMario Douglas, Mack Hollins, Hunter Henry, and Austin Hooper. Thus, while Williams should enjoy the greatest involvement of his young career, it's too early to lock him into fantasy lineups. He can be left on waivers in redraft leagues and stashed on the bench in dynasty formats.
