Who Should I Start? Jameson Williams or Jalen Coker

Saturday, November 23, 11:23 AM

Jameson Williams aims to sustain his momentum as the Lions face the Colts in Indianapolis for Week 12. Williams showcased his big-play ability in the previous game against the Jaguars, recording 124 yards and a touchdown on four receptions, marking his highest yardage total this season. The second-year wideout has been a boom-or-bust option this year, with two games under 10 yards but exceeding 50 receiving yards in his other six appearances. However, Williams' target share may decrease with tight end Sam LaPorta expected to return after missing last week due to a shoulder injury. Despite this, his knack for explosive plays keeps him in the flex conversation, especially against a Colts defense that has allowed the 12th-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers since Week 6.

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Jalen Coker (quadriceps) popped up on the Week 12 injury report and missed practice on Friday with a quad injury. The Panthers listed him as questionable to play in Sunday's contest against the visiting Kansas City Chiefs. Given the fact that the 23-year-old's injury occurred in the final practice of the week, he may be on the wrong side of questionable for this weekend. The good news for the Panthers is that veteran Adam Thielen (hamstring), although also listed as questionable, is expected to play against KC for the first time since Week 3. If Coker plays, he won't be a recommended flex play in deep fantasy leagues with the return of Thielen. Coker has caught 17 of his 26 targets for 263 yards and one TD in his first seven NFL games. If he's ruled out on Sunday, David Moore would be in line to serve as Carolina's WR3.
