BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~170 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~185
ANALYSIS: It's always sad when any player suffers a serious injury in the preseason, so football fans were understandably bummed when J.K. Dobbins suffered a knee injury that will end his season. However, the other side of the coin is that the injury provides a potential career-changing opportunity for Williams. The former-five star recruit had a tumultuous college career that involved two transfers and an ACL tear, but he impressed the Ravens this summer, showcasing good speed and clear skills as both a receiver and pass blocker.
We know that Gus Edwards will be the starting running back for the Ravens this year, but we also know that the Ravens love to use multiple backs. Last season, Edwards actually led the Ravens running backs with 144 carries (25% of the team share) compared to Dobbins' 134 carries (24.2% of the team share) and Mark Ingram II's 72 carries (19.8% of the team share). With Dobbins hurt and Mark Ingram in Houston, the Ravens will need to replace 44% of their team carries from last year.
While some of that will obviously get added onto Edwards' total, we should expect Ty'Son Williams to push for at least 20% of the share. That's a crucial amount considering Edwards is also not really a factor in the passing game, seeing only 13 targets all of last season. If Williams is the superior passing-down back and also sees 20% or more of the team's carries, he will be usable in most fantasy formats and would, like Jones Jr., become a clear RB2 if Edwards were to get hurt. owever, Williams also has a chance to unseat the incumbent with a strong performance.
