Who Should I Start? Jameson Williams or Trey Benson

Monday, December 15, 12:13 AM

As expected, it was a shootout on Sunday between the Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Rams in Week 15. Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams had his fourth 100-yard game and his second such performance in the last three games, catching seven of his nine targets for 134 yards and a touchdown in the 41-34 loss. The 24-year-old nearly had 100 receiving yards in last week's win over the Dallas Cowboys, and he had a season-high 144 yards and a touchdown the week prior in the Thanksgiving Day loss to the Green Bay Packers. Since the team's Week 8 bye, Williams has really come on strong, averaging 95.3 receiving yards. Quarterback Jared Goff attempted a whopping 41 passes on Sunday as the Lions were forced to keep up with the high-scoring Rams offense. Williams could easily threaten for another 100-yard game in Week 16 against a Steelers secondary that has had its fair share of issues in 2025.

Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson (knee) will not be activated off Injured Reserve for the team's Week 15 matchup against the Houston Texans, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Since Benson will not return within his 21-day activation window, he will revert to season-ending IR and will not be eligible to return in 2025. Benson suffered a knee injury in Week 4 that was serious enough to land him on IR, but was not thought at the time to be season-ending. It's unclear whether the 23-year-old suffered a setback once his activation window was opened, or if the 3-10 Cardinals are simply choosing to be cautious with their potential running back of the future. Either way, Benson should now be completely off the radar of redraft fantasy managers for the remainder of 2025. His absence ups the value of Cardinals running backs Bam Knight and Michael Carter, who should continue to see the majority of the team's backfield snaps. Emari Demercado (ankle) could play a role in Arizona as well once he returns from the ankle injury that has sidelined him since Week 11.
