Jameson Williams' Ascent ContinuesIt wasn't Jameson Williams' biggest statistical game, but his performance in Thursday night's win over the Cowboys was one of his best as a pro. Williams' evolution from big-play merchant to well-rounded WR was on display throughout the night. He ran impressive routes, such as a deep comeback for a first down on a 2nd-and-17 in the second quarter. And he made multiple tough grabs in traffic. Williams finished with a team-high 96 yards on seven catches and nine targets. He also took an end-around that nearly went for an 8-yard TD, but Williams just barely stepped out of bounds at the 1.
Jameson Williams caught 7-of-9 targets for 96 yards in the Lions' Week 14 win over the CowboysEven with Amon-Ra St. Brown in the lineup, Williams managed to tie for the team lead with nine targets and narrowly edged out ARSB in receiving yards. Williams has now totaled 240 yards through the air over the last two weeks. A solid fantasy day could have been made better had Williams managed to score on a seven-yard run that came up a yard short of the end zone. Despite a strong two weeks, Williams remains a volatile play for fantasy managers, but things have been mostly good as of late. He's gone for 66 or more receiving yards in five of his last six games and scored in four of those games. He'll be on the WR2/WR3 fantasy radar for Week 15 against the Rams.

Amon-Ra St. Brown Out Again TuesdayLions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) remained sidelined for Tuesday's practice. He said afterward that he's still uncertain whether he'll be able to play vs. the Cowboys on Thursday night. I m not sure right now, if I m being honest," St. Brown said. "It s still up in the air. I ma try to be out there for the guys, for my teammates, but I couldn t answer that question right now. We'll see how St. Brown is listed on tomorrow's final injury report, but fantasy owners should not be counting on him playing vs. Dallas. WR Kalif Raymond (ankle) is also expected to miss Week 14, HC Dan Campbell said. That'll leave Jameson Williams, Isaac TeSlaa, and Tom Kennedy as Detroit's top three WRs, if St. Brown is out.
