Who Should I Start? Jameson Williams or Marvin Harrison Jr.

The Detroit Free Press' Dave Birkett expects the Detroit Lions to attack defenses more deep down the field in 2025 under new offensive coordinator John Morton, which should primarily benefit big-play wide receiver Jameson Williams. The 24-year-old pass-catcher had his fifth-year option picked up for the 2026 season after breaking out in 2024 in his third year in the league to the tune of 58 receptions, 1,001 yards and seven touchdowns on 91 targets over 15 regular-season games (11 starts), where were career-highs across the board after injuries and a suspension limited him in 2022 and 2023. Williams' 2024 numbers were good enough to make his the WR22 in point-per-reception formats, but he's still a bit of a boom/bust fantasy option in a Lions offense with lots of playmakers. He will need to be efficient with his touches, but Williams showed last year he's a home run threat every time he touches the football.

Arizona Cardinals second-year wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., who bulked up and added muscle to his frame this offseason, said he's confident in what the Cardinals offense can do in 2025. "I'm very confident in what we have offensively," Harrison said. "From top to bottom, the quarterback, offensive line, skill positions, I think we have everything we need to accomplish our goals." The 22-year-old fourth overall pick last year finished his rookie campaign with 62 catches, 885 yards and eight touchdowns, ranking fifth in receiving yards for a rookie. Harrison said he has spent plenty of time with quarterback Kyler Murray outside the facility as he continues to gain chemistry with him. Fantasy managers that draft him in 2025 will be hoping that his added strength will make him more of a contributor after the catch. Although his rookie year didn't live up to expectations, Harrison could easily take the next step in 2025.
