Who Should I Start? Mike Williams or Skyy Moore

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.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Skyy Moore stands little chance of making an impact in Week 2, despite the injury bug biting key players on offense. Even though tight end George Kittle (hamstring) is on injured reserve and wide receiver Jauan Jennings (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, veterans Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Kendrick Bourne stand in Moore's way on the depth chart. Moore played just three snaps in Week 1, and even if he does see a greater run on Sunday, the offense will be helmed by Mac Jones and not Brock Purdy (toe, shoulder), who has been ruled out. Moore's only path to fantasy relevance is in leagues that count return yards. Last week against Seattle, he fielded one kickoff and four punts, totaling 63 return yards.
