Jameson Williams or Tank Dell: Who should I start in Week 3 Fantasy Football?

Jameson Williams and Tank Dell are two players set to have a great Sunday on the field, as the Detroit Lions and the Houston Texans will face tough opponents and will need their passing game to win. NFL fantasy owners could be up for a tough time deciding between the two of them.

Is Jameson Williams a good pick in Week 3?

The Detroit Lions wide receiver had a massive breakout season. After two underwhelming years in the league - to be fair, he was coming from a serious injury in his first -, Williams exploded for the Lions in the first two weeks as the team is still in a bit of a sluggish start.

He's a great pick. As Detroit prepares for a game against the Arizona Cardinals, there's a huge chance that this will be a high-scoring contest. As such, big play opportunities will again be present for the wide receiver, and it must be said that he has done a great job taking advantage of them.

Expect offensive coordinator Ben Johnson to draw opportunities for him to get the ball in space. In Week 1, this had an excellent result.

Is Tank Dell a good pick in Week 3?

But Dell is also set to have a great week. The Texans will be playing the Minnesota Vikings away from home, and this should also lead to a great performance from C. J. Stroud. Houston isn't going to have an easy afternoon, as their opponents are also undefeated currently.

Granted, this wasn't the best start of the season by Dell, but he has more than enough to make plays; the Vikings aren't going to put up the same defensive challenges as the Chicago Bears did in Week 2, and he's going to be a bigger factor on the offense.

Whom should I start between Jameson Williams and Tank Dell in Week 3?

Sportskeeda's Start/Sit Optimizer puts Williams just over Dell in Week 3 projection and says that the Detroit Lions wide receiver is a better player to start.

Neither is the primary option on their teams, as Amon-Ra St. Brown and Nico Collins lead their respective receiving groups, but both are still valuable pieces. But the former Alabama superstar gets the nod for now.
