Who Should I Start? Jameson Williams or Ashton Jeanty

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams has been one of the more disappointing players in fantasy so far this season, recording 17 catches for 289 yards and two touchdowns on 30 targets across seven games. In his final outing before Detroit's Week 8 bye, the 24-year-old was held without a catch on two targets by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Coming out of the bye week, Lions offensive coordinator John Morton told reporters he's looking to get Williams more involved in the team's offense. That may be difficult to do in Week 9 against the Minnesota Vikings, who have allowed the fourth-fewest passing yards (1,428) in the NFL through eight weeks. Williams was held in check by Minnesota across two games in 2024, recording seven catches for 30 yards on nine targets. He profiles as a low-end, boom/bust WR3/flex option for fantasy managers in Week 9.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty will battle the Jacksonville Jaguars. Jacksonville's defense ranks eighth against fantasy running backs this season, but the Raiders will look to get Jeanty involved early in what should be an evenly matched game. The team has also been trending towards higher usage for Jeanty in the passing game, and they should continue to put their best playmaker in situations where he is operating in space. Jeanty's workload should remain high following the bye week, making him a safe low-end RB1 option.
