Who Should I Start? Jordan Watkins or Savion Williams

Saturday, September 27, 5:37 AM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jordan Watkins (calf) has been ruled out for the team's Week 4 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Watkins is listed with a calf injury, a possible symptom of the high ankle sprain he suffered in the first week of preseason action. He was cleared to make his regular season debut in Week 2, but was ultimately declared inactive ahead of the game. In Week 3, he had one limited practice sandwiched between two DNPs and did not practice at all this week. Even after he heals, he has little to no value in fantasy football (dynasty leagues excepted), as it will be hard for the rookie to crack the rotation of Ricky Pearsall (knee), Jauan Jennings (ankle/shoulder), and Demarcus Robinson at the top of the depth chart.

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.
