Who Should I Start? Jameson Williams or Tetairoa McMillan

Monday, September 29, 3:01 PM

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams caught only two of his seven targets in Sunday's win over the Browns, and he has not topped two receptions in a game since the season opener. In speaking with reporters on Monday, head coach Dan Campbell addressed the connection between Williams and quarterback Jared Goff, saying, "We're just a little bit off." Campbell was quick to downplay any issues of chemistry, saying the team will get back to the drawing board, and "Those guys are gonna be fine." Although Williams has caught only 10 balls on the season, his 21.4-yard average reception is among the highest in the league, so he has not been completely irrelevant for fantasy managers. The Lions face the Bengals in Week 5, and Cincinnati has been one of the most favorable matchups for wide receivers through four weeks. With bye weeks starting around the NFL this week, Williams should make for a fine flex option.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan (calf) is officially active for Sunday's Week 4 contest against the New England Patriots. He was listed as questionable after being limited in back-to-back practices. The rookie receiver has looked solid this season, catching 14 of his 27 targets for 216 yards while ranking as the overall WR31 in PPR leagues. He should continue to be started as a WR3/flex, especially against a Patriots defense allowing the fifth-most fantasy points to wide receivers. On a less favorable note, lockdown cornerback Christian Gonzalez (hamstring) is healthy for his season debut and could be tasked with covering McMillan, which would lower the rookie's floor.
