Who Should I Start? Konata Mumpfield or Savion Williams

Friday, January 2, 11:15 AM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Konata Mumpfield stepped up admirably in Week 16's loss to the Seahawks, while teammate Davante Adams (hamstring) sat with an injury, leaving fantasy managers to believe he was next in line with the veteran shelved. However, he slid back down the pecking order in the following game, signaling instability in a loaded Rams' offense. Mumpfield saw a robust eight targets two weeks back, but that slipped down to five in their loss to the Falcons on Monday night, as he took a back seat to teammate Xavier Smith (chest) (4/67) and tight end Colby Parkinson (6/53). Moreover, Puka Nacua still handled a hefty 10 targets. With Adams out, another asset in LA's passing game is sure to step up. That said, Mumpfield can't be relied upon for consistent fantasy production, considering quarterback Matthew Stafford's propensity to spread the ball around when Adams isn't active.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Savion Williams (foot) is officially active for Sunday's Week 12 contest against the Minnesota Vikings. He was listed as questionable after missing two practices this past week. With Matthew Golden (shoulder, wrist) sidelined, Williams could push to carve out a larger role behind Romeo Doubs, Christian Watson, and Dontayvion Wicks. The 24-year-old rookie has been dependable when called upon, catching all 10 of his targets for 78 yards and a touchdown through 10 games. Despite his potentially increased workload on Sunday, Williams is still lower on the depth chart and can be left on waivers in most fantasy leagues. He ranks as RotoBaller's WR99 for Week 12.
