Who Should I Start? Jonathan Mingo or Savion Williams

Tuesday, August 26, 7:32 PM

The Dallas Cowboys placed wide receiver Jonathan Mingo (knee) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday but designated him for a return, which means that Mingo will be eligible to rejoin the active roster after missing the first four games. The 24-year-old wideout is still recovering from a PCL sprain in his right knee that he suffered in the middle of August in a preseason game against the Baltimore Ravens. The earliest that Mingo would be able to make his 2025 debut would be in Week 5 on Oct. 5 against the New York Jets. CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens are Dallas' top two receivers, and with Mingo now sidelined at least four games, Jalen Tolbert and KaVontae Turpin will battle it out for WR3 duties. Neither Tolbert nor Turpin will really be rosterable in 12-team fantasy leagues unless one of Lamb or Pickens miss time with an injury.

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Savion Williams has mostly been used in a gadget role on offense this season. Williams has just one catch for one yard and four rush attempts for 23 yards through the first three games of his NFL career. Even after an injury to Packers wideout Jayden Reed (collarbone, foot), Williams remains buried on the team's wide receiver depth chart behind Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks, and Matthew Golden. Williams could see even less playing time once veteran wide receiver Christian Watson (knee) makes his return to the field. The 23-year-old rookie should be off the radar of redraft fantasy managers until there are signs of a significant change in role.
