Should You Start Courtland Sutton Or Mike Williams?

It’s the end of the bye week for the NFL. With that in mind, you may be wondering whether you should start Courtland Sutton or Mike Williams in your fantasy lineup. Both of these receivers have been hurt in recent weeks. However, the news got a little better on Thursday when they were cleared to play. Despite the injury, both players looked good.

While Sutton has not been able to put up big numbers in his last few games, he has been consistent all season long. He has snagged at least five catches in each of the last four games. In fact, he’s been targeted at least seven times in each of the last seven games. The only exception has been a Week 4 game against the Raiders.

If you’re in a deep league, you can use both players as part of your fantasy playoffs lineup. Sutton has top-15 upside and could be worth a shot in Week 14 against the Dolphins. On the other hand, Williams has a chance to post big numbers against a reeling Colts defense in Week 16.

Whether you’re looking for a replacement in your deep league or you’re just looking to get a boost in your flex position, you can’t go wrong with either of these two receivers. Sutton has been the second-best receiver in all leagues this year, while Williams has an impressive matchup against a Titans defense that’s allowed a lot of touchdowns through the air.

Depending on your team’s offense, you’ll have a lot of options in the receiver position. The Bears have a wide array of options to choose from, including David Njoku, Jaylen Waddle, Treylon Burks and Joshua Palmer. As for the Dolphins, they’ve been unable to defend the run well. For this reason, you can probably count on a lot of carries from Wilson in Week 3.

As for the Chargers, they’ve been missing their top wideout in recent weeks. Williams has not played in two straight games due to an ankle injury. When he does, he’s been excellent. His biggest catch came in the second quarter against the Dolphins, when he hauled in a 55-yard pass from Justin Herbert.

Williams has averaged 53.1 yards per outing this season, and he’s caught more than half of the passes thrown his way. Over the last four seasons, he’s gained an impressive 16.5 yards per reception. But he also has a 58.9% catch rate, making him an ideal candidate to play in your deep league.

As a result of the injuries, Mike Williams has had a rough couple of weeks. This week, however, the receiver has a potential home game against the Titans. Since his return, he’s already recorded 10 catches for 183 yards and two touchdowns, and he should have another good matchup against a Colts defense that’s allowing a lot of passing yardage.

Sutton hasn’t been able to put up big numbers this season, but he has a chance to rebound in Week 14. He’s averaging 5.8 yards per reception and has a 59% pass catch rate, so he’s still a very viable option.
