Start: DET WR Jameson Williams vs. NYG CB Cor’Dale Flott
Lions HC Dan Campbell made it a point to get Williams more involved in his playcalling since he took over the duties. Williams has found the end zone in three straight games, and he is seeing six to seven targets a game now. Williams in space or in the middle of the field is dangerous for any team, let alone a Giants secondary that has been torched many times this season. The speedster is set to have another good week, so keep him in your lineup.
Bench: ATL WR Darnell Mooney vs. NO CB Alontae Taylor
Mooney will step into the WR1 role this week for the Falcons as Drake London will miss this week’s game due to a knee injury. Mooney is not the only change on offense for the Falcons with Kirk Cousins taking over as QB1 for the duration of the season due to Michael Penix Jr.’s season-ending injury. Cousins and Mooney had a nice connection last season, but facing the Saints’ top-10 pass defense will be a challenge. Cousins struggled late last week in relief of Penix, completing six of his 14 pass attempts for 48 yards.
Alontae Taylor was a name brought up at the trade deadline for contending teams, but he ultimately stayed put in New Orleans. Taylor has talent, and he can lock opposing receivers down, so Mooney will have quite the battle on his hands this week.
