Jameson Williams is an exciting wideout who generates chunk plays through the air for the Detroit Lions. However, even after a quiet Week 9 performance against the Miami Dolphins, Williams is a sell-high candidate in fantasy football entering Week 10.

Let’s take a look at Williams’ production this season and discuss why fantasy football managers should sell him because of his inconsistent role.

Of the 76 WRs with 25-plus targets this season, Williams has the sixth-most yards per reception (16.7) and the sixth-most receiving touchdowns (5) on the second-highest average depth of target (16.2). Williams continues to operate as the primary vertical threat in Detroit’s aerial attack.

Buy, Sell, Or Hold Verdict: Sell Jameson Williams

Although Williams does possess a decent ceiling, his role isn’t one to trust in fantasy football unless an injury occurs to Amon-Ra St. Brown. Williams has just the 54th-highest target share (17.1%) at the WR position.

Similar to recent seasons, Williams is dependent on connecting with Jared Goff on explosive plays and finding the end zone. That sort of profile is better for a best-ball format rather than in season-long formats where managers have to set lineups each week.

Even with Williams not performing well against the Dolphins, some managers may still be interested in the big-play receiver due to the fact that he’s part of an elite offensive environment on the Lions. With Williams having a productive stretch of fantasy points in recent weeks, this is an ideal time to trade him elsewhere.
