Can Jameson Williams Bounce Back in Potential Week 2 Track Meet?

Wednesday, September 16, 4:47 PM

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams did not have his best game in his team's Week 1 win over the New Orleans Saints. While the 25-year-old recorded four catches for 45 yards on nine targets, he had multiple bad drops that turned what could have been a monster performance for fantasy managers into a middling one. On the bright side, Williams could be in line for another high-volume day in what projects to be a high-scoring Week 2 matchup against the Buffalo Bills on Thursday Night Football. Buffalo allowed 31 points to the Houston Texans in Week 1, and the Bills offense should be able to move the football at will against the banged-up Lions secondary. Detroit will be without three starters on the offensive line, which could impact Lions quarterback Jared Goff's ability to get the ball to Williams down the field. Still, Williams can be explosive on short-area targets as well and should have chances to impact the game if the Lions are chasing points. All in all, Williams profiles as a high-end WR3/flex option for fantasy managers in Week 2.

Xavier Worthy News

Xavier Worthy Starts the Season Strong, Can Be a Deep League Pickup

Tuesday, September 15, 5:40 AM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy was the Chiefs' second receiver in their season-opening victory over the Broncos. He tied for the team lead with six targets and finished second among Chiefs' receivers, playing 77% of snaps. Worthy finished with only three catches for 18 yards, but he has the potential to be even more involved when the Chiefs go to more pass-heavy game scripts. Kansas City played from ahead on Monday night, and they leaned heavily on the ground game as a result. Worthy brings big-play potential in a solid offense and can be a nice addition from the waiver wire in 12-team leagues, based on his Week 1 role and his upside in more favorable matchups.
