Is Jameson Williams playing today?

Fresh off a 121-yard outing against the Rams, Williams will play today. Not just that, he will likely also deliver another bounty in fantasy football after a 24-point return.

Per Fantasy Points data, Williams was quarterback Jared Goff's first read on 43 percent of his throws. Expect that number to continue when the Lions take the field at Ford Field later this afternoon. Our fantasy analyzer projects a return of at least 10 points for Jameson Williams. If you have Williams on your roster, he immediately becomes a must-start pick in Week 2 fantasy football.

While Williams was cleared to play, fellow wide receiver Isaiah Williams was not so lucky after being ruled out due to an abdomen issue. Safety Ifeatu Melifonwu (ankle) has also been ruled out.
