Who Should I Start? Sam Darnold or Jameson Williams

Saturday, October 11, 9:47 AM

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold is in a great position to succeed in Week 6 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. While the Jaguars have played solid defense to open the season, they have allowed opposing quarterbacks to enjoy solid fantasy days, especially over the last two weeks. Darnold has found his groove in Seattle. He is coming off a 341-yard and four-touchdown performance in Week 5 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Seahawks' defense should have an easier time containing the Jaguars' offense this week, which would reduce the need for high passing volume. However, Darnold's efficiency should not falter in this game. With so many injuries and uncertainties with fantasy quarterbacks this season, Darnold is a great bet to remain steady for your team. Start him as a low-end QB1 in Week 6.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams has struggled to maintain a consistent role in his team's offense so far this season. Through five games, the 24-year-old has recorded just 11 catches for 223 yards and one touchdown on 21 targets. Williams is averaging over 20 yards per reception and remains an explosive downfield threat, but his middling target volume makes him very difficult for fantasy managers to trust. Williams' Week 6 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs does not appear to be a great spot for him to break out. The Chiefs have allowed the ninth-fewest passing yards (999) and the fourth-fewest number of passing touchdowns (five) in the NFL so far this season. Additionally, the Lions could be without starting left tackle Taylor Decker (shoulder), which may make it difficult for quarterback Jared Goff to have the time to hit Williams for a big play down the field. Williams profiles as a low-end, boom/bust WR3/flex option in Week 6 against Kansas City.
