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.

ESPN's Rob Demovsky reports that Green Bay Packers rookie third-round wide receiver Savion Williams (concussion) was out of training camp practice on Friday due to a concussion. Williams was able to make a few nice catches in the first couple days of practice, but now he could miss a bit of time, depending on well he can bounce back from his head injury. Head injuries are never good news, but this could be especially troubling for a 23-year-old rookie trying to learn a new offense at the next level. When healthy, Williams is probably going to have a tough time seeing the field consistently, even with Christian Watson (knee) potentially missing around half the season. The Packers also have Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks, and first-round rookie Matthew Golden will certainly be ahead of Williams on the receiver depth chart.
