Who Should I Start? Mike Williams or CeeDee Lamb

Thursday, July 17, 2:08 PM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams, who was recently placed on the training-camp PUP (Physically Unable to Perform) list, is retiring from the NFL after eight seasons. The 30-year-old entered the NFL as the No. 7 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft by the Chargers following a stellar career at Clemson. He spent the first seven seasons of his pro career with L.A. before playing for the New York Jets and Pittsburgh Steelers in 2024. Overall, Williams tallied 330 receptions for 5,104 yards and 32 touchdowns. He hangs up his cleats with two 1,000-yard seasons on his resume. Known as a big-play threat, his impact diminished later in his career as he aged and dealt with injury. While he was unlikely to be a significant factor for the Chargers this year, his departure gives Quentin Johnston more breathing room after a slow start to his NFL career.

Updating a previous report, Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said on 105.3 The Fan on Monday that wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (concussion) is "doing a good job" after suffering a concussion in last Thursday night's loss to the Detroit Lions, according to Jon Machota of The Athletic. "He's meeting all the thresholds that you need to meet that will get him to where he can play this week. So far, he's had no setbacks," Jones added. The 26-year-old had six catches on eight targets for a season-high 121 yards before getting hurt, but it remains to be seen whether he'll actually be cleared from the NFL's concussion protocol in time to play on Sunday night against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 15. Lamb is headed in the right direction, but fantasy managers will want to keep a close eye on his progress this week. Ryan Flournoy, who had nine catches, 115 yards and a TD last week, would be in play as an upside flex against Minnesota if Lamb is not cleared.
