Who Should I Start? Michael Gallup or Jameson Williams

Monday, August 25, 6:18 PM

The Washington Commanders released wide receiver Michael Gallup on Monday, according to Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team. Gallup was unable to make Washington's 53-man roster heading into the regular season in his comeback bid after retiring in 2024 shortly after signing with the Las Vegas Raiders. The 29-year-old veteran could return to the Commanders on their practice squad, but if he signs with another team for the regular season, he will merely be competing for a spot on the active game-day roster and won't be on the fantasy radar at all. The former third-rounder (81st overall) by the Dallas Cowboys in 2018 out of Colorado State caught 34 of 57 targets for 418 yards and only two touchdowns in 17 games (13 starts) in 2023 in his final year in Dallas. Gallup's best season came in Year 2, when he put up a 66-1,107-6 line on 113 targets in 14 games (12 starts).

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams has recorded just 21 catches for 355 yards and three touchdowns on 36 targets across eight games in 2025. However, the 24-year-old has quietly been more productive of late. Williams has recorded at least six targets, 66 receiving yards, and a touchdown in two out of his last three outings. He'll get a favorable matchup on paper in Week 10 against the Washington Commanders. Washington ranks last in the NFL in yards per pass attempt allowed (8.8) and 29th in passing touchdowns allowed (19) through nine weeks. They will also be without top cornerback Marshon Lattimore (knee), who suffered a torn ACL in Week 9. Williams still has bust potential, but he could be set up for a boom week against Washington. Williams profiles as a solid fantasy WR3/flex option in Week 10.
