Who Should I Start? Michael Gallup or Savion Williams

Wednesday, June 11, 10:02 PM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Michael Gallup (hamstring) is dealing with a hamstring strain that has kept him off the field for the first two days of mandatory minicamp this week, a source told The Washington Post's Nicki Jhabvala. Gallup spent the first six years of his NFL career with the Dallas Cowboys after they selected him in the third round (81st overall) in 2018 out of Colorado State before signing with the Las Vegas Raiders in free agency. The 29-year-old then abruptly retired and didn't play at all in 2024. He's making a comeback back in the NFC East, but Gallup is facing an uphill battle for playing time in D.C. behind Terry McLaurin, Deebo Samuel Sr., Noah Brown (undisclosed), K.J. Osborn and Luke McCaffrey. Gallup's hamstring injury isn't helping his cause in minicamp. He's off the fantasy radar for now.

ESPN's Rob Demovsky reports that Green Bay Packers rookie third-round wide receiver Savion Williams (concussion) was out of training camp practice on Friday due to a concussion. Williams was able to make a few nice catches in the first couple days of practice, but now he could miss a bit of time, depending on well he can bounce back from his head injury. Head injuries are never good news, but this could be especially troubling for a 23-year-old rookie trying to learn a new offense at the next level. When healthy, Williams is probably going to have a tough time seeing the field consistently, even with Christian Watson (knee) potentially missing around half the season. The Packers also have Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks, and first-round rookie Matthew Golden will certainly be ahead of Williams on the receiver depth chart.
