Who Should I Start? Mike Williams or Zay Flowers

Tuesday, September 26, 6:15 PM

The Los Angeles Chargers officially placed wide receiver Mike Williams (knee) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday and signed receiver Simi Fehoko to the active roster from the Pittsburgh Steelers' practice squad in a corresponding move. The Bolts also signed safety AJ Finley to their practice squad. Williams suffered a season-ending torn ACL in his left knee in the Week 3 win over the Minnesota Vikings. Fantasy managers in single-year leagues can safely drop him now. The 28-year-old will finish 2023 with 19 catches on 26 targets for 249 yards and a touchdown in three games. With Williams now out, Joshua Palmer will be LA's No. 2 behind Keenan Allen, and first-round rookie wideout Quentin Johnston will also be thrust into a much bigger role moving forward.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers may not have found the endzone yet this season but he now has caught 21 of his 25 targets through three games. The rookie saw another 10 targets against the Colts and hauled in eight of them for 48 yards while also getting one carry for just two yards. In PPR formats, Flowers has produced reliable fantasy stat lines since he tends to see a lot of close-range targets. The passing game still seems to be working out some kinks, so Flowers and company could improve as the season goes on. Week 4, however, will be a tougher challenge against the Browns defense.
