Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams has struggled to maintain a consistent role in his team's offense so far this season. Through five games, the 24-year-old has recorded just 11 catches for 223 yards and one touchdown on 21 targets. Williams is averaging over 20 yards per reception and remains an explosive downfield threat, but his middling target volume makes him very difficult for fantasy managers to trust. Williams' Week 6 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs does not appear to be a great spot for him to break out. The Chiefs have allowed the ninth-fewest passing yards (999) and the fourth-fewest number of passing touchdowns (five) in the NFL so far this season. Additionally, the Lions could be without starting left tackle Taylor Decker (shoulder), which may make it difficult for quarterback Jared Goff to have the time to hit Williams for a big play down the field. Williams profiles as a low-end, boom/bust WR3/flex option in Week 6 against Kansas City.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison saved the day for both his team and managers who started him Sunday with a late touchdown grab that turned the tide in a 21-17 Vikings victory, finishing the day with five catches on six targets for 41 yards and a touchdown. Unknown to the general public prior to the game, Addison (coach's decision) was held out of the entire first quarter after being benched, the latest incident after he began the year with a three-game suspension. Addison atoned, however, with an athletic 12-yard touchdown catch in which he got both feet down and fell inside the pylon to score with 25 seconds remaining. As long as wide receiver Justin Jefferson is healthy, Addison won't be Minnesota's top target, but he has performed well enough alongside the All-Pro to be a consistently playable fantasy WR3/Flex option.
