BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~140-160 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~220
ANALYSIS: Kansas City Chiefs running back Darrel Williams is the clear No. 2 running back behind rookie Clyde Edwards-Helaire after two weeks of practices. A few weeks ago Damien Williams decided to opt out of the 2020 season due to COVID-19 concerns, elevating Darrel Williams' fantasy stock considerably. Edwards-Helaire should see the lion's share of backfield work in this explosive offense, making him a high-end RB1 in his rookie season, but Williams is now worthy of a late-round target in fantasy leagues, at least as a handcuff to CEH if you select him in the first round.
After Damien Williams made his decision to opt-out of the 2020 regular season, former Raider DeAndre Washington was initially a popular choice to capture backup duties behind Clyde Edwards-Helaire. However, it was Darrel Williams who commandeered the most first-team reps during training camp and ultimately prevailed in competition with Washington and second-year back Darwin Thompson. And as of Saturday September 5th, the Chiefs surprisingly cut DeAndre Washington cementing Williams' role in the offense.
Williams joined the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent in 2018 and accumulated 308 total yards on 56 touches during 2019. He also provided a glimpse of his ability to function effectively in Andy Reid’s attack by accruing 109 total yards on 14 touches in week 3, including 62 yards on the ground. Williams has now commandeered Kansas City’s RB2 responsibilities and will share touches with Edwards-Helaire as the season launches. This has vaulted him into consideration among the most enticing late-round targets for fantasy football drafts. He also provides a viable insurance policy for anyone who has secured Edwards-Helaire for their rosters.
