Who Should I Start? Trent Sherfield Sr. or Isaiah Williams

Sunday, August 10, 10:52 AM

Denver Broncos wide receiver Trent Sherfield Sr. continued to impress in the team's 30-9 win over the hosting San Francisco 49ers in the preseason opener on Saturday night. Sherfield caught all three of his targets for a team-high 73 receiving yards and also found the end zone on a pretty 36-yard catch in the front corner of the end zone. The 29-year-old has done nothing but impress during training camp practices and carried that over into the first preseason game. He should also contribute on special teams for the Broncos this year, but Sherfield's work already this summer should make him a lock for the 53-man roster going into Week 1 for at least WR and special-teams depth. The seven-year NFL veteran caught only eight of his nine targets for 83 yards and one touchdown in 17 games (one start) for Minnesota a year ago.

New York Jets wide receiver Isaiah Williams has carved out a spot in 11 personnel in recent weeks, although he can't be relied upon for fantasy in Sunday's divisional clash with the New England Patriots. The Jets' WR room has been all over the place in 2025. Between the additions of Adonai Mitchell and John Metchie III, and the loss of Garrett Wilson (knee), the corps has been in flux for most of the campaign. That said, Williams has recently settled into the WR3 role. Beginning in Week 14, the second-year pro saw his snap share tick up, and it's steadily done so each game since as he plays behind Mitchell and Metchie. In spite of a decent role, quarterback Brady Cook's play hasn't been enough to inspire confidence in the Jets' skill players, lowering the offense's overall floor. Outside of a cheap DFS play or back-end dynasty bench stash, fantasy managers can avoid Williams for the time being, considering his ranking as RotoBaller's PPR WR85 for Week 17's contest.
