Who Should I Start? Jameson Williams or Xavier Legette

Saturday, December 21, 8:55 AM

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams has a difficult matchup in Week 16 at the Chicago Bears and makes for a risky play in the fantasy playoffs. The Bears defense allows the second-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers and Williams was held to five catches for 28 yards when the teams played in Detroit in Week 13. The speedy wide receiver has the big-play ability to make one play account for a large chunk of a productive day. Against a good pass defense with other options in the Lions' passing offense like Amon-Ra St. Brown, Tim Patrick, and Sam LaPorta, Williams could be a bit overlooked in this game. Look for other more steady options to fill in the receiver spots for fantasy playoff lineups.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette (hip) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 16 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. As expected, Legette won't play after being considered week-to-week, according to head coach Dave Canales. There is only three games left in the season, so we'll see if Legette is able to get on the field again this season. For now, Adam Thielen and Jalen Coker (quad) figure to serve as the primary wideouts. However, Coker (quad) and fellow wideout David Moore (concussion) are considered questionable for this game. Deven Thompkins could end up seeing an expanded role, but he won't be a recommended streaming option. If active, both Coker and Moore have low-end flex appeal for this Week 16 matchup.
