BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team PPR Leagues
OWNED IN: 24% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: The new RB2 on the most potent offense in the NFL, Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams was scooped up by several owners in deep leagues after the Kareem Hunt news hit. Williams wasn't heavily involved, carrying five times for 38 yards and catching two passes for seven yards, despite a great matchup against the Raiders.
Williams' main appeal lies in PPR leagues, since he is a better pass-catcher than Spencer Ware. There is no chance either he or Ware will replace Hunt's value but Williams does have a better chance to score on a weekly basis than most low-end RB pickups based on his offensive situation. Although his usage is still in question, Williams is someone to watch. It was just a year ago that he was effectively the starting RB in Miami, only to suffer a knee injury and cede the job to Kenyan Drake in the second half.
