Who Should I Start? Trent Taylor or Isaiah Williams

Wednesday, June 4, 6:35 PM

The San Francisco 49ers announced on Tuesday that they placed wide receiver Trent Taylor (undisclosed) on Injured Reserve and signed receiver Malik Knowles to an undisclosed one-year deal in a corresponding move. It's unclear exactly what Taylor's injury is, but he's now expected to miss the entire 2025 season. The 31-year-old former fifth-round pick (177th overall) in 2017 out of Louisiana Tech spent the first three years of his career in the Bay Area before going to the Cincinnati Bengals for two years and the Chicago Bears in 2023. In just two games in his return to the Niners last season, Taylor caught his only target for an 11-yard pickup. Taylor has been a depth piece in his career and has a total of 88 receptions for 845 yards and only three touchdowns on 138 targets over 80 games played (three starts) since debuting in 2017.

New York Jets wide receiver Isaiah Williams recorded two receptions for 24 yards on three targets during last week's blowout loss to the Miami Dolphins. The 24-year-old wideout has seen his snap share increase since Week 8, playing 46.5% of the snaps after playing just one total offensive snap over the first seven weeks. Williams is still not involved enough to be considered a legitimate option in fantasy, especially with undrafted rookie Brady Cook making his first career start in Week 15 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
