BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX
ANALYSIS: Jameson Williams had appeared to be a bigger part of the Detroit offense this season until Week 3, when he caught just one pass for nine yards against the Cardinals. Williams had five catches in each of his first two games and a whopping five red zone targets.
One thing to note was that Williams' snap share dropped from the 85-90% range down to just 71% last week. That may have been a product of Detroit leading the game and having so much success running the football against Arizona.
While Detroit is going to be a run-first team with their elite offensive line and two stud backs, Williams adds an important component to this offense with his speed and ability to make plays down the field. He has been targeted 7.7 times per game as it's pretty clear that Detroit wants to get him involved and that's a great sign for his value.
Jameson Williams has 11 catches this year. There have also been 12 incomplete passes thrown his way 😮
Take a look for yourself & let me know if you think those incompletions are on Jamo or Jared Goff 🧐
To be clear, I think Jamo goes bonkers this wk 🔥pic.twitter.com/auKzLOu43i

The nature of his game is going to lead to some boom and bust weeks, which makes him hard to start in shallow leagues. But the matchup here against Seattle is pretty good and I would expect him to bounce back and be more involved in what should be a competitive game on Monday night.
If you have a more reliable option for Flex, then use them, but Williams is a very talented young player in an excellent offense who can erupt for a big game and help you win any given week. I'd start him in 12-team leagues or larger.

Not every WR is like this, though, […]
