Who Should I Start? Trishton Jackson or Isaiah Williams

Friday, August 18, 9:45 AM

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Trishton Jackson has been making a strong case to win a spot on the 53-man roster. The 25-year-old worked with the first-team offense during Thursday's joint practice. It appears he's back to full speed after suffering a knee injury earlier in training camp. He has mainly been getting increased reps due to the fact Jordan Addison (concussion) is sidelined right now. Jackson is making the most of his chances and could earn that final wideout spot. However, there's a good chance he ends up on the practice squad, so it's unlikely Jackson will provide fantasy value this season.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Isaiah Williams caught all four of his targets for a total of 35 yards during Thursday's preseason loss against the New York Giants. Undrafted out of Illinois, Williams is now firmly in the mix for a depth role after a solid showing in Week 1 of the preseason. He showcased considerable quickness and change of direction skills in the loss, even earning a shoutout from head coach Dan Campbell following the game. Williams has less than one month (and two more games) to show the coaching staff why he's worthy of a coveted 53-man roster spot.
