Who Should I Start? Michael Pittman Jr. or Jameson Williams

Friday, December 12, 11:00 PM

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. had a down year in 2024. However, he's turned it around this season. In 13 appearances, the 28-year-old has 69 catches (94 targets) for 699 yards. While he could have a tough time surpassing his mark from the 2023 campaign (109 receptions), he has already amassed a career-high seven touchdowns. Unfortunately, the Colts have struggled of late, with the team losing their last three contests. To make matters worse, Daniel Jones went down with a season-ending Achilles tear in Week 14 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. As a result, Indy will turn to Philip Rivers or Riley Leonard (knee), who no longer carries an injury designation, in Sunday's meeting with the Seahawks. As expected, many feel that neither player will do enough to get Indianapolis back to the top of the AFC South. With that in mind, Pittman's fantasy ceiling might be at its lowest point of the season, especially with a challenging contest on tap. Although he's still a must-start in any setup, considering he's been a top fantasy wideout, managers should expect the worst and hope for the best in Week 15.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams got off to a slow start in 2025, but has emerged as one of the most dynamic wide receivers in the league in the second half of the season. The 24-year-old wideout is one of only six receivers and tight ends to post more than 500 yards since Week 9, along with Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Nico Collins, Michael Wilson, Puka Nacua, and Trey McBride. Williams has taken full advantage of his increased opportunities with Sam LaPorta (back) on Injured Reserve. He possesses weekly upside for long touchdowns that few players in the league can match. He profiles as a borderline WR1 in fantasy for a potential Week 15 shootout against the Los Angeles Rams.
