buddahj Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Missed out on Leshoure in one of my locals, but got Williams. Here's hoping he can fill the void the next few weeks while Forte & Bush get healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delusions of grandeur Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Who becomes RWilliams early down handcuff while Wells is down? I'm not sure the Arizona backfiled is really a handcuff-worthy situation, but yes, my money would be on Stephens-Howling if Williams went down. As a dynasty owner of Williams with a desperate RB situation, this is great news, but he still has a lot to prove to be a weekly starter. 2 fumbles in his first 2 weeks, and if he keeps doing that, Howlings might turn it into a RBBC at best sooner than later.

nelsosi Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Captain Obvious: Williams couldn't ask for a better opportunity. Beanie gone. Arizona has a strong D. The opportunity for 20-25 touches is there. Now it comes down to what he does with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thinking you are correct about the handcuff-worthyness of the situation. Stephens-Howling is 5' 7'' and 180 pounds...not exactly the right fit for early down work. Problem is...Powell and ASmith are nobody's. Perhaps the Cards go to the veteran free agent market and grab something off the heap. While I am a happy RWilliams owner today...his fumbling problems and gimpy knee scare me. Wanted to know if someone had a clearer picture on how the Cards might backstop RW while Beanie is out.

BS Miscreant Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Excited about plugging him in as my flex this week after drafting him and hanging on to this point especially with FJax going down week 1. Don't love the match-up but I'm with nelsosi... with their D, their O should get many minutes on the pitch this Sunday. Hopefully that means many touches for Williams this weekend and going forward.. Now if only Gore could start acting old and beat up again I could make use of both my late-round RBs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jko12 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Anyone think theres a chance the Cards sign Tim Hightower as a back up to Williams? Hes famillar with the offense and he should still be in playing shape from his time in Washington. Just something I was thinking of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lkirc Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I think Hightower just had his knee scoped. Probably not an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Agent Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Ryan Williams to the I.R. per Roto: Ryan Williams will require surgery on his left shoulder and is done for the remainder of the season. It's a rough blow for increasingly one of the league's most tough-luck players. Williams suffered the injury in last Thursday night's loss to the Rams. William Powell figures to be the favorite for carries in Arizona's backfield until Beanie Wells (turf toe) gets back in Week 12 or 13, although Powell is coming off a "head" injury. La'Rod Stephens-Howling and Alfonso Smith will also be in the mix for carries behind an offensive line that opens no holes. Williams will enter the 2013 season having not been a legitimately productive rusher since 2009, his redshirt freshman season at Virginia Tech. After also missing all of 2011 with a ruptured patellar tendon, Williams' long-term outlook is all sorts of cloudy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delusions of grandeur Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Ryan Williams to the I.R. per Roto: Fantasy impact: None Shame because I had really high hopes for the kid, but no one is doing any damage behind that sorry O-line. Even moreso if it's a timeshare between Powell and Stephens-Howling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
