Who Should I Start? Seth Williams or Irvin Charles

The Dallas Cowboys released wide receiver Seth Williams following the acquisition of former Pittsburgh Steelers wideout George Pickens, according to NFL.com. The 25-year-old Williams was once a deep fantasy football sleeper coming out of Auburn. He was selected in the sixth round of the 2021 NFL Draft by the Denver Broncos and spent time with the Jacksonville Jaguars before joining the Dallas practice squad last season. Williams has appeared in two NFL games, catching one pass for 34 yards. Needless to say, his hopes of being a full-time member of an active roster are likely over.

The New York Jets re-signed exclusive-rights free-agent wide receiver Irvin Charles (knee) to an undisclosed deal on Friday. Charles will return to the Jets in 2025, although it's highly unlikely he'll be ready for training camp this summer or the start of the regular season after tearing his ACL in Week 14 of last year. The 27-year-old former undrafted free agent appeared in 13 games (no starts) in 2024 and was unable to catch his only target on offense. In his two NFL seasons, he has yet to catch a pass on just two targets over 25 games (no starts), mainly contributing on special teams. Charles logged 212 special-teams snaps last year and will likely resume a similar role at some point next year when he's cleared from his knee injury. He's nowhere near the fantasy radar.
