ANALYSIS: Karlos Williams has been one of the biggest surprises in this year's rookie RB crop. He came out of the draft with nearly no hype (in fact, most of what I've seen on him was negative) and barely saw his stock rise during the preseason. During the OTAs, it was reported that the Bills were impressed with his progress but he still had to beat out Buffalo favorite Fred Jackson before he could gain relevance. Well, the Bills ended up cutting Jackson, and Williams still only barely saw his stock rise. Since the season started though, he's become more and more valuable as his role behind LeSean McCoy has grown and grown.

McCoy has had a bit of an injury issue in two of his three previous seasons and is now experiencing more injury issues in 2015. Although McCoy is expected to play this Thursday against the Jets, it wouldn't be surprising if at this pace he's on his way to his third injury this year. Even playing behind McCoy, Williams' lowest scoring week has been a 9.7 game in week 2, while averaging 14.8 points in games played this season. Williams is the must grab waiver option as McCoy heals, and offers a realistic FLEX play value throughout the rest of the year.
