Who Should I Start? Jameson Williams or Carnell Tate

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams put together the most productive season of his career in 2025, recording 65 receptions for 1,117 yards and seven touchdowns on 102 targets across 17 games. However, the season was a tale of two halves for Williams, who had just 17 catches for 289 yards and two scores on 30 targets through Detroit's Week 8 bye. The 25-year-old's second-half production surge coincided with the absence of Lions tight end Sam LaPorta (back), who suffered a season-ending back injury in Week 10. With LaPorta expected to be back in the mix for Detroit in 2026, Williams may once again struggle to provide consistent fantasy production. When all three of LaPorta, wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, and running back Jahmyr Gibbs have been available, Detroit has typically opted to utilize Williams in a low-volume downfield role. In dynasty formats, managers may want to explore selling Williams at what could be a peak in his value.
