BALLER MOVE: Start in 12-Team PPR Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3
ANALYSIS: Detriot Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams rates as a high-end WR3 option in Week 7, but expectations should be tempered a bit for a tough road matchup with the Minnesota Vikings.
Williams has caught a touchdown in each of the last two games for the Lions, though he has just six targets and five receptions in that span. The worry with Williams entering the year was that he was always a big play waiting to happen, but he wouldn't get consistent usage.
im enjoying the jameson williams breakout but Sam LaPorta at the very bottom left of this table is depressing https://t.co/wK37Mm8emB

That was false in Week 1 and Week 2, but has looked closer to the story lately as his 20 targets over the first two games feel like a thing of the past. Still, he can bust out a big play at a moment's notice, which always gives him high upside. He's finished as a fantasy WR2 in four of his five games.
Fantasy managers should view Williams as a WR3 play against the Vikings in Week 7. Start him as usual.
