Who Should I Start? Tyler Boyd or Mike Williams

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Boyd should be viewed as a desperation flex option in deeper 3WR formats in Week 13 when he faces the Washington Commanders. Last weekend, the veteran wideout enjoyed his best game of the season, catching all six of his targets for a season-high 55 yards. However, during Weeks 6 through 11, Boyd averaged a mere 4.1 PPR points and saw just 2.8 targets per game during this stretch. With Calvin Ridley and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine operating as the No.1 and 2 receivers, Boyd will have trouble finding consistent targets. However, given his impressive showing last weekend, fantasy managers in 14+ team 3WR formats could consider using Boyd as a desperation flex option facing the Commanders, who have allowed the 16th-most PPR points this season to opposing wideouts.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Mike Williams has played in four games since being dealt from the New York Jets around the trade deadline, but he has caught just one pass for 32 yards and a touchdown. The 30-year-old has played 70 snaps for the Steelers, but he could see more opportunities with Calvin Austin III (concussion) in the concussion protocol. "It's a matter of time," head coach Mike Tomlin said on Williams getting more involved in the Pittsburgh offense. That said, it would be surprising if Williams became a consistent fantasy football contributor down the stretch, though he could have a spike week during the fantasy football playoffs. Fantasy managers in leagues of 12 teams or fewer can likely ignore Williams, but deep leaguers should monitor his usage in Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns.
