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 limited to special teams and a handful of designed touches over the first eight games. Williams has been used creatively, catching all seven of his targets for 43 yards and a touchdown while also adding eight carries for 28 yards and another score on the ground. The rookie third-round pick out of TCU has strong ball-in-hand skills, which could lead to more of these designed touches as the Packers will be without their best YAC threat in star tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) for the rest of the season. However, it will be difficult to earn consistent playing time behind Romeo Doubs, Christian Watson, and Matthew Golden, in addition to Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) and Jayden Reed (collarbone, foot) when healthy. Williams is also dealing with a foot injury, having been limited in Friday's practice with a foot injury. Williams remains off the radar for redraft leagues for now.
