Jameson Williams start 'em, sit 'em fantasy football picks for Week 2 of 2026. Should you start or sit Jameson Williams for fantasy football lineups in Week 2?
BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: Borderline WR2 With Upside
ANALYSIS: Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams has an abnormally high drop rate, which isn't great for his potential to earn more targets in his offense. That might not matter much, though. The Lions have a matchup with the Buffalo Bills coming up, and they'll need all the offense they can get in that game.
Williams was touted as a player who would be used more than just as a serious threat this season, which is a good thing for this matchup. The Bills have typically sold out to stop deep passes on defense in recent years, while being more vulnerable to short passes and the run.

He only caught four of his nine targets for 45 yards in Week 1. But the target numbers are very healthy, and for an explosive player like "Jamo", they could lead to better production. The Bills offense is consistently one of the best in the league, and this game could be shaping up to be a shootout.
Lions quarterback Jared Goff attempted 39 passes last week, which is a solid starting point. He'll likely need to have more than 200-ish passing yards to make Williams a week-winning pick. But No. 1 for the Lions has never been a consistent player. He's a pick you made for his upside -- namely, games with 20 or more PPR fantasy points. He's worth starting this week across all formats given the potential for Thursday's game to be high-scoring.
