Who Should I Start? Jameson Williams or Jayden Reed

Monday, December 15, 12:13 AM

As expected, it was a shootout on Sunday between the Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Rams in Week 15. Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams had his fourth 100-yard game and his second such performance in the last three games, catching seven of his nine targets for 134 yards and a touchdown in the 41-34 loss. The 24-year-old nearly had 100 receiving yards in last week's win over the Dallas Cowboys, and he had a season-high 144 yards and a touchdown the week prior in the Thanksgiving Day loss to the Green Bay Packers. Since the team's Week 8 bye, Williams has really come on strong, averaging 95.3 receiving yards. Quarterback Jared Goff attempted a whopping 41 passes on Sunday as the Lions were forced to keep up with the high-scoring Rams offense. Williams could easily threaten for another 100-yard game in Week 16 against a Steelers secondary that has had its fair share of issues in 2025.

After missing 10 games due to collarbone and foot injuries, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed returned to the field for his team's Week 14 matchup against the Chicago Bears. In his first game back, the 25-year-old played 47% of Green Bay's offensive snaps and hauled in four receptions for 31 yards on four targets. Now that he's back in the fold, Reed profiles as the Packers' WR3 alongside Romeo Doubs and Christian Watson. However, Green Bay also has wideouts Dontayvion Wicks, Matthew Golden, and Bo Melton as capable pass-catchers in reserve roles. The Packers' deep wide receiver room limits Reed's playing time and target upside. Additionally, Green Bay has a very difficult matchup in Week 15 against the Denver Broncos. Entering the week, Denver ranks 4th in the NFL in yards per pass attempt allowed (6.3). Between the matchup and the playing time ceiling, Reed profiles as a low-end WR3/flex option for fantasy managers in Week 15.
