Who Should I Start? Mike Evans or Jameson Williams

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) missed practice on Thursday with a nagging hamstring issue. It's an injury that gave Evans some problems during the team's Week 6 win over the division-rival New Orleans Saints, but it doesn't sound like anything too serious, with head coach Todd Bowles expecting Evans to return to practice on Friday or Saturday. The Buccaneers play on Monday night this week versus the Baltimore Ravens. The 31-year-old could eventually get a questionable tag on Saturday's final injury report, but as of right now, he appears to be on the right side of questionable. After catching three touchdown passes in Weeks 4 and 5, Evans came back down to earth last week with just two catches for 34 yards. If he's active on Monday night, fantasy managers should consider him a low-end WR1/high-end WR2 against Baltimore.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams caught a 70-yard touchdown pass from Jared Goff on Monday night against Seattle and led the team in receiving with two catches for 80 yards. Williams saw just two targets in the game but showed his big-play ability by turning in the 70-yard TD. The Alabama product can turn a few touches into a big fantasy day because of that big-play threat. It makes him a little bit risky week-to-week but he has mostly rewarded fantasy managers this season. Williams will have to fight for targets with Amon-Ra St. Brown and Sam LaPorta in the Lions' offense but his explosiveness on the outside makes him fantasy viable.
