Flgatorguy87 160 Posted September 3, 2012 anybody watched williams ? does he take over this year ? who's more talented ??? I think Williams wins the job, but my expectations are pretty low based on that O-line. Could be the worst unit in the NFL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
southcarolina 166 Posted September 3, 2012 anybody watched williams ? does he take over this year ? who's more talented ??? More talented? Who knows. Least injured? I think Williams wins that hands down. Ive drafted Williams in a couple of leagues and think he could be a pretty good middle to late season RB2, once Beanie's Knees wear out again. Of course as Flagatorguy says, that O Line could be a huge issue, especially now that Levi Brown is out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
montana 89 Posted September 3, 2012 If you're drafting either guy to be anything other than a bye week fill in or possible flex (rb3 @ best) I can't really help you. I do like Williams better & I think he'll get the knod at some point but I'm not expecting much for reasons already mentioned. Still, you could do worse.

I do like Williams better & I think he'll get the knod at some point but I'm not expecting much for reasons already mentioned. Still, you could do worse. You draft Williams predicated on the fact that Beanie has a hard time staying healthy. Of course, the O-line woes are real and the QB play is suspect, but anyone who could possibly get the lion's share of carries in any backfield this year is going to be worth more than a "flex at best". You could mostly credit this to the attrition at the position. Williams is talented and if he ever gets a chance to show what's he's worth he definitely has RB2 upside. Williams is actually one of the higher upside bench stashes right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Williams is actually one of the higher upside bench stashes right now. Beanie Wells put up 1k yards and 10 TDs in 14 games a year ago. Ryan Williams walked in the door with an injury, same as Beanie. Just get them both cheap (should be easy) and ride whoever is healthy. Beanie basically saved my season in 2011 after Peyton Hillis sucked/injured his way to nothingness. He has value.

RBs wouldn't be much more than I stated. 12+ teams, where RBs hold a little more value the deeper you go into the draft, they (beanie & Williams) will be used more often. I have Williams in a 10 & 12 team league and I may need to call on him more in the 12 team league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jerryskids 5,206 Posted September 3, 2012 The Cards are going to run. A lot. They won't be very good at it, but it won't be for lack of trying. They're going to try to play like the Niners last year, controlling field position with a good punter (Zastudil) and a good return man (Peterson). I'd expect both backs to be in there getting a lot of carries, so both should be serviceable RB3s. If I had to pick one, I'd pick Williams. He's more explosive, and they are hiding something with Beanie's knee -- you don't have a "minor scope" in the spring and start the preseason on the PUP.
