Who Should I Start? DK Metcalf or Jameson Williams

Tuesday, November 11, 9:44 PM

Over the past two weeks combined, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf has scored just 6.6 half-PPR fantasy points. While there are reasons to be optimistic about the Steelers' offense against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11, this matchup doesn't project to be a great one for Metcalf specifically. Cincinnati has surrendered six receiving touchdowns to opposing wideouts, and only one of them went to a clear WR1. In Metcalf's Week 7 meeting with the Bengals, he managed just three receptions for 50 yards. Because Metcalf has not exceeded five receptions in any contest this season, fantasy managers can't rely on volume when deciding whether to start him. The 27-year-old will probably need to hit pay dirt to provide value as a low-end WR2 or flex option this week.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams got off to an extremely slow start to Sunday's game against the Washington Commanders. Williams entered halftime with only one reception for 19 yards. Fantasy managers thought they were getting a dud from Williams, but he turned it around in the second half. Williams finished his day with six receptions on seven targets for 119 yards and a touchdown in the blowout win. This is now back-to-back games in which Williams has found the end zone. He'll look to keep that streak alive against the Philadelphia Eagles next week.
