Captain Goomy Noomy Roo 47 Posted September 7, 2015 I could see Deangelo Williams getting some great opportunities during the first two weeks with Bell out. What is he worth during these first weeks? Who are you sitting for him? Can we play him over Abdulla... who is now expected to do kick and punt return duties? or... Joseph Randle in Dal? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phillygrrl08 139 Posted September 7, 2015 Playing him at least week one for Blount and maybe week two depending on how things are shaking out in Dallas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,529 Posted September 7, 2015 No I'm one person that's does not think he is worth much . I know he will get the work in the first two games but he was not even on my boards . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
murf74 461 Posted September 7, 2015 A good #2 rb why wouldn't he be Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cyeaser 3 Posted September 7, 2015 I'm going to start him the first 2 games Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swampdonkey 5 Posted September 7, 2015 I would never use Williams unless I have bell... And I'm just trying to scoot by until he's back... Other than that scenario he wouldn't be on my board Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrG 94 Posted September 7, 2015 Decent flex if you need him for 2 games Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beyond Chaos 75 Posted September 7, 2015 I think I'm going to start him over Jennings (Giants backfield is a clusterfk). My logic was that I know Williams will be a 3 down back in Pittsburgh for now and should get the goal line carries. Archer may get a few 3rd down plays but not enough to concern me. The only concern is if New England takes such a large lead that Pitt abandons the run. Hopefully Pitt plays up to their competition as they usually do.

norcaljeff 1 Posted September 7, 2015 I'm in same boat, handcuffed Williams to Bell. Now deciding between Abdullah and Deangelo as a FLEX play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrBurns 3 Posted September 7, 2015 As of now, I have him on the bench in favor of Kelce in a flex spot. I could also go with Agholor or Abdullah, but my league only gives out about 60% of what yards are worth in a standard league. I want to see Williams do well first. If he does well I might use him in week 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GornFishin' 57 Posted September 8, 2015 Someone you might want to consider who is in a VERY similar situation is Benny Cunningham STL. He's no LT but the situation is favourable. Looks like he will get the backfield to himself in week 1 if Tre Mason cannot go and is still on a lot of wires. Less wear and younger than Williams and Steelers might air it out more. Just a thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Nice 40 Posted September 8, 2015 Good rb2 that will get early down work and goaline work. If they get down however you will see alot of dri archer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stonewall 647 Posted September 8, 2015 Looked good in preseason running behind that line. Good receiver outta the backfield on a good offense. I'm on board as a flex play in week 1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skinny_Bastard 154 Posted September 8, 2015 I don't get why the Bell owner would allow Dwill to slip. He's dirt cheap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seadog54 20 Posted September 8, 2015 just picked him up and starting him. I got Randle, Abdullah, Jennings, and Blue as my RBs. Yes, there are all terrible... lol... there goes the draft all WR strategy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xenon 2 Posted September 8, 2015 Its a guaranteed two starts and i would presume at least 15 touches per game yes? If you drafted Leveon or even Arian Foster, he certainly can fill in for 2 weeks of Bell out and 2 of 4 weeks (at minimum) of Foster being out which is a worthwhile gamble from my perspective if you draft either Bell or Foster and build some depth before taking Willams plunge..

seadog54 20 Posted September 8, 2015 he just got a new baby... should be a good motivator. I'm starting him. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/13602198/deangelo-williams-pittsburgh-steelers-focused-new-england-patriots-birth-son "He just had a baby, so he's ready to win the game ball for him," Roethlisberger said this week. Williams got 13 carries for 63 yards in three preseason games. When asked about his limited reps, Williams said they won't be limited Thursday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mullog 12 Posted September 9, 2015 I went RB heavy after grabbing Bell in the first and landed Gore, Ivory and then D.Williams in the last round. I'm leaning towards starting Ivory over Williams this week and seeing how it goes before deciding week 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beyond Chaos 75 Posted September 10, 2015 I went RB heavy after grabbing Bell in the first and landed Gore, Ivory and then D.Williams in the last round. I'm leaning towards starting Ivory over Williams this week and seeing how it goes before deciding week 2. I'd go Ivory on the fact he plays Cleveland alone.
