Who Should I Start? Mike Williams or Terry McLaurin

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Mike Williams played on over 35% of offensive snaps for the first time in black and gold last week and will look for continued utilization in a Week 17 meeting with the Kansas City Chiefs. Kansas City has been middle-of-the-road against opposing wideouts in 2024, surrendering the 16th-most fantasy points per contest to the position. Williams may see yet another uptick in his playing time on Wednesday, but it is difficult to project him for many opportunities with George Pickens (hamstring) pushing to make his return from a three-week absence. Williams was unable to make an impact for fantasy purposes with Pickens sidelined, so there is no reason to consider him in starting lineups this week.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin extended his scoring streak to four games on Sunday afternoon. Facing the Eagles, McLaurin brought in five of his six targets for 60 yards and a score. McLaurin found the back of the end zone on a 32-yard pass from Jayden Daniels in the second quarter. McLaurin finished the afternoon with the second-most yards and targets, in which he trailed Olamide Zaccheaus in both statistics. Over his past four contests, McLaurin has tallied six touchdowns while tallying at least 70 receiving yards in all but one game. The 29-year-old should be set up well for another productive showing next weekend against the Atlanta Falcons who have allowed the fifth-most PPR points to opposing wideouts this season.
