Who Should I Start? DeVonta Smith or Jameson Williams

Sunday, October 19, 5:29 PM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith caught nine of his 11 targets for 183 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 7 win over the Minnesota Vikings. The highlight of his performance was a 79-yard touchdown catch that extended Philadelphia's lead to two possessions in the third quarter. Smith led the team in receiving yards and combined with A.J. Brown for the entirety of the Eagles' offensive scoring. The 26-year-old hasn't been very consistent week over week, but games like these remind managers of his extreme upside. He should continue to be viewed as a solid WR2 heading into Week 8 against the New York Giants.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams had his best game of the season in Week 6 against the Kansas City Chiefs, hauling in six catches for 66 yards and a touchdown on seven targets. Williams could be well-positioned to build on his breakout Week 6 game in Week 7 when the Lions take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tampa Bay currently ranks 23rd in the NFL in passing yards allowed (1,520) and has allowed the fourth-most receptions of 40-plus yards (four). In the most recent meeting between these two teams in Week 2 of the 2024 season, Williams was targeted a career-high 11 times and recorded five catches for 79 yards. He profiles as a high-upside WR3/flex option for fantasy managers in Week 7.
