Who Should I Start? Mike Williams or Jameson Williams

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.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams had one of his better games of the 2025 season in Week 9, recording four catches for 66 yards and a touchdown on six targets in his team's 27-24 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Williams has been a frustrating player for fantasy managers this season, as he has hauled in 21 catches for 355 yards and three scores on 36 targets across eight games. Still, the 24-year-old has now recorded at least six targets, 66 receiving yards, and a touchdown in two out of his last three games. The main issue for Williams remains his non-existent floor, as the other game in that three-game stretch was a zero-catch performance. Williams remains a boom/bust flex option for fantasy managers heading into a potentially favorable Week 10 matchup against the Washington Commanders.
