Who Should I Start? Ryan Flournoy or Savion Williams

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Ryan Flournoy secured a spot on the team's practice squad after failing to make the initial 53-man roster. The sixth-round pick in 2024 spent his rookie season with the Cowboys, recording 10 catches for 102 yards on 14 targets. The Cowboys currently only have four wide receivers on the active roster: CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, Jalen Tolbert, and KaVontae Turpin. WR5 Jonathan Mingo (knee) will open the season on injured reserve. Unless Dallas adds a free-agent wide receiver, Flournoy has a decent chance at getting a game-day call-up early in the season. He and Jalen Brooks, who appeared in 14 games for the Cowboys last year, lead Dallas' practice-squad wide receivers.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Savion Williams has suffered various injuries throughout his first professional training camp and missed all three preseason games. The Green Bay coaching staff had gadget plays in mind for the third-round speedster, but he has been unable to stay on the field. The Packers have a crowded wide receiver room, even with injuries to Jayden Reed (foot) and Christian Watson (knee). If Reed, who is questionable, misses Week 1, Williams still has first-round pick Matthew Golden, Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks, and Malik Heath to compete with for snaps. Williams may have a play designed for him here and there, but it won't be consistent enough volume for redraft fantasy managers to spend a roster spot on him.
