Who Should I Start? Jameson Williams or Jordan Addison

The Detroit Lions exercised wide receiver Jameson Williams' fifth-year option for the 2026 season on Friday, a source tells ESPN's Field Yates. This was a no-brainer move for the Lions after Williams broke out with his first 1,000-yard receiving season in 2024. The 24-year-old former first-rounder out of Ohio State is projected to make $15.49 million in 2026 on his fifth-year option. Williams played in only 18 games (10 starts) in his first two years in the NFL due to recovery from a torn ACL in his final year in college and a suspension for gambling last year. In 15 games (11 starts) during the regular season a year ago, he caught 58 of 91 targets for 1,001 yards and seven touchdowns. He also added 11 carries for 61 yards and a TD. Williams has big-play ability every time he touches the ball, but his lack of volume in a loaded Detroit offense is worrisome and makes him a boom-or-bust fantasy commodity.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison caught 3-of-8 targets for 29 yards in his team's 27-9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in the Wild Card round. It was a forgettable day for the entire Vikings offense, as quarterback Sam Darnold was put in the dirt on nine occasions. Addison was the intended target on a few deep shots and could have had a more significant outing, but had trouble corralling most of the targets. The sophomore wideout performed well in a complementary role to his superstar teammate Justin Jefferson in 2024, and the two should continue to be a dynamic duo for the foreseeable future. However, it's impossible to know who will man the helm for Minnesota next season at this time. J.J. McCarthy (knee) is recovering from injury, while Darnold and Nick Mullens are set to be free agents, leaving Daniel Jones as the only healthy QB on the roster.
