Who Should I Start? Jameson Williams or Rashid Shaheed

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.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Rashid Shaheed could see his involvement increase in Week 11 against the Los Angeles Rams. Seattle will be without wide receiver Tory Horton (groin/shin) in this game. Horton is Seattle's other deep-play threat who could threaten Shaheed's touches. Shaheed was only on the field for 34% of the Seahawks' offensive snaps in Week 11. Part of that was likely due to the game script removing the need for additional offensive output as Seattle was dominating the Cardinals. Still, Seattle was intentional with trying to get Shaheed the ball. He garnered three targets, including a couple of plays clearly schemed for him. The Rams are near the top of the league in defending all facets of the game. However, all Shaheed needs is one big play to make his fantasy day. Ironically, Shaheed just faced the Rams in Week 9 as a member of the New Orleans Saints. He reeled in five catches for 68 targets for a solid fantasy day. As such, Shaheed could be a solid dart throw if you are in dire straits at the wide receiver position.
