Who Should I Start? Jameson Williams or Malik Nabers

Monday, November 17, 12:17 AM

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams recorded four receptions for 88 yards and a touchdown on seven targets in Sunday night's 16-9 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Williams scored the Lions' only touchdown of the night on an explosive 40-yard catch and run in the second quarter in what was otherwise a tough offensive performance against the Eagles' stout defense. The 24-year-old wideout continued his strong run of production in recent games, now totaling 14 catches on 20 targets for 273 yards and three touchdowns over the past three weeks after their Week 8 bye, averaging 20.1 PPR points per game. With Sam LaPorta (back) placed on injured reserve earlier this week, Williams will have a runway for a strong second half of the season after a disappointing first seven games.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) had surgery on Tuesday to fix the torn ACL and meniscus in his right knee, and he "should be ready" for the start of next season, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Nabers suffered his season-ending knee injury in the Week 4 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, but he just now had surgery after doctors had to wait for the swelling in his knee to dissipate. Barring setbacks with his rehab and recovery in the offseason, the 22-year-old former first-rounder should be good to go for the start of the 2026 season next fall, although fantasy managers might have some reservations about rolling with a receiver coming off a major knee repair as a high-end WR1. Before his injury, though, Nabers had displayed his game-changing abilities with 271 yards and two scores on 18 receptions in four games. His long-term fantasy ceiling should be higher going forward now that rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart looks like the real deal.
