Who Should I Start? Xavier Weaver or Savion Williams

Friday, September 13, 10:09 PM

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Xavier Weaver (oblique) is officially questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. The undrafted rookie wideout is still looking to make his NFL debut, and he has a chance to do so this week after logging three straight limited practice sessions. Weaver performed well in Arizona's preseason finale, reeling in 2-of-4 targets for 56 yards. He also handled two punt and kickoff returns for an additional 81 yards. The Colorado product projects to have difficulty finding consistent playing time in the starting WR rotation behind Marvin Harrison Jr, Michael Wilson, and Greg Dortch -- even when healthy. However, he is someone to monitor regarding his usage on kick returns. If Weaver can gain consistency there, he could be helpful for fantasy managers. Otherwise, he can be safely avoided sans deep dynasty leagues.

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Savion Williams has mostly been used in a gadget role on offense this season. Williams has just one catch for one yard and four rush attempts for 23 yards through the first three games of his NFL career. Even after an injury to Packers wideout Jayden Reed (collarbone, foot), Williams remains buried on the team's wide receiver depth chart behind Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks, and Matthew Golden. Williams could see even less playing time once veteran wide receiver Christian Watson (knee) makes his return to the field. The 23-year-old rookie should be off the radar of redraft fantasy managers until there are signs of a significant change in role.
