Who Should I Start? Joshua Palmer or Kyle Williams

Thursday, November 20, 9:37 AM

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Joshua Palmer can safely be left out of lineups in most formats when his team travels to Houston to play the Texans for Week 12's Thursday Night Football game. The former Los Angeles Charger has been a disappointment in his first season with Buffalo, during which he has logged only 16 receptions and is still looking for his first touchdown. This week, Palmer will have the added challenge of the single worst matchup in football: Houston ranks No. 1 against PPR wide receivers. Though the status of fellow receiver Khalil Shakir (personal) is unknown, and Keon Coleman is coming off a healthy scratch last week, Palmer hasn't had a big enough role to rely upon for fantasy lineups.

New England Patriots wide receiver Kyle Williams should continue to see more involvement during Thursday Night Football against the New York Jets in Week 11. Williams is coming off a strong outing against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in which he posted a season-high (and, thus, career-high) 56 percent snap share. He caught one of two targets in the victory, breaking off an impressive 72-yard touchdown that wound up on numerous highlight reels. While we can't count on the rookie to break off a huge touchdown every week, last Sunday's big play should be enough to earn him more opportunities going forward. His volume will also continue to benefit from the absence of Kayshon Boutte (hamstring), who is headed for his second consecutive absence. Williams still has to compete with players like Stefon Diggs, Mack Hollins, and DeMario Douglas for volume, but he's certainly starting to earn the trust of Drake Maye and New England's coaching staff. Williams is a WR5 with a low floor and high ceiling this week. Managers in most leagues can leave him on the bench until we see him consistently earn more targets.
