I'll try and chug down those letters with some milk.JohnnyU said:DW is at the very least a good flex play and has upside for more regardless of CEH. Hope I don't have to eat my words.

Who is this CEL you speak of? If I were you I would try and trade Williams to the CEH owner for a 2nd.Going to be a hard hold now.
As a non CEL owner, I picked him up the week prior to CEL's injury. Total luck. Worked out, but now think I've probably squeezed as much usefulness as I can out of him.
With the bye week, could probably get away with dropping him unless the CEL owner is interested (who is half asleep).
Agree he's droppable. Problem is there's such crap on the WW now that I'm not sure who's better. The end of my bench is filled with lottery-ticket RBs (Williams, Wilson, Benjamin). Holding on to Darrel with the hope that he gets another opportunity makes about as much sense as any other option.Going to be a hard hold now.

I agree with you. I have both CEH and Williams and may play both. Williams would be the flex, just need to decide between he, Michel and Singletary"IF" Kelce and Hill are out this week I think one L makes for an interesting flex play. Steeler weakness is vs the run, CEH will not get all the run action. D Will would help fill a major hole in the passing game and he also seems to be more of the goal line back, I think??
I would rather invest in this offense that finally seems to be returning to form vs many other RB's in weak offenses in bad matchups.
Toss up, but I believe if you have to depend on D-Will right now you're not in a good spot.D Will or Moreau, am I over thinking this? TE premium
Fair enough, I got burnt by Moreau a few weeks ago. Trying to get 12 pts or so ...Toss up, but I believe if you have to depend on D-Will right now you're not in a good spot.
Very true but with a lot of trash QB's and offenses this week I would rather hitch my wagon to the current Chiefs offense, Andy Reid with his smarts and experience vs a horrible run funnel Steeler DToss up, but I believe if you have to depend on D-Will right now you're not in a good spot.
Yep. I decided to go with Penny and his higher upside just before the 4 o'clock games, I gained 8 crucial points with that move. If CEH is out this week, D. Will should be a great play.Could've been worse.
Dwill and Penny both available this week. Its PPR so prioritizing DWill but its close.Yep. I decided to go with Penny and his higher upside just before the 4 o'clock games, I gained 8 crucial points with that move. If CEH is out this week, D. Will should be a great play.
Game was clinched when Gore got most of his work. You can expect the same Williams usage as when CEH was out before.If CEH is out, any idea what to expect in terms of splitting time with Gore and/or any goal line work? Perhaps because it was out of reach but when I was watching from time to time yesterday saw a lot of Gore.
Darrel Williams was held without a touch in the Chiefs' AFC Championship Game loss to the Bengals.
Williams was coming back from a painful toe issue, but it still bodes poorly for his Chiefs future that he got lapped by journeyman Jerick McKinnon on the depth chart during the postseason. With Clyde Edwards-Helaire limited to 10 games by injury, Williams easily posted new career highs across the board, but his run-game production (3.9 yards per carry) was the definition of replacement level. Williams was an asset as a pass catcher, turning 57 targets into 47/452/2/9.6 yards per catch. Three months shy of his 27th birthday, Williams is unsigned for 2022, as is McKinnon. The Chiefs could opt for a backfield overhaul [...]

Darrel Williams is in New Orleans today ...Pretty quiet. That sucks. KC doing him wrong IMO.
Undoubtedly to see his brother Larry and his other brother Darrel.Darrel Williams is in New Orleans today ...
... visiting his family in suburban Marrero
We're so oldUndoubtedly to see his brother Larry and his other brother Darrel.
No joking, though -- hoping the Saints at least make the local phone call. Take the Williams' out for dinner one night or something. Make a pitch.Darrel Williams is in New Orleans today ...
Welp, it's the quiet offseason period.Newhart quotes?
I'd be surprised if KC doesn't have him back. They know he can be productive when given the chance, but I guess it's a question of how much he brings to the table in comparison to CEH, RoJo, Pacheco, and Early that'll be his fate. Ronald Jones is, in my opinion, a better pure runner than any of those backs save Pacheco (I don't know what Pacheco can do yet) but Jones can't catch. It would seem KC is a natural fit for Darrel Williams. He Tweeted something out to the effect that he was hurt they hadn't re-signed him. It just all fits.
That's what I'm thinking.He's probably more valuable to them than any other team and at this point would certainly come cheap.
I think McKinnon is a very limited touch guy, not because of talent, but because of injury potential. He might have outplayed CEH for a game or two, but no way is he logging enough work for the Chiefs to depend on him as anything but a temporary solution they already took advantage of.Interesting that McKinnon, who basically supplanted CEH in the playoffs, is also still out there unsigned.
I always loved how Newhart would get so flummoxed by the situation around him that his humor device was not to speak. He played the straight man on his own show and let everyone else around him fill in the character of the inn. His stand-up was pretty innovative, by all accounts. The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart is a classic comedy album.Welp, it's the quiet offseason period.
True, McKinnon is who he is. Still has some explosiveness despite all the injuries but definitely a limited touch guy. I meant that I was surprised that he hasn't been signed by anyone given that several other RBs out there have. But alas, that's the RB landscape these days - it's not for everyone other than us fantasy geeks.I think McKinnon is a very limited touch guy, not because of talent, but because of injury potential.

Before Lindsay signed with the Colts he would have been a good fit there. I could also see him working well in Arizona, Cincy, or the Saints.Welp, it's the quiet offseason period.
I agree though that I could see Darrel return to KC. He's probably more valuable to them than any other team and at this point would certainly come cheap. Interesting that McKinnon, who basically supplanted CEH in the playoffs, is also still out there unsigned.
Never thought of that but I'm in the same situation and would love thatMy personal preference since I own him in one league would be the Cardinals. I have Conner so this would be a nice insurance policy.
Nice call - just indeed signed with the Cards.My personal preference since I own him in one league would be the Cardinals. I have Conner so this would be a nice insurance policy.
Cardinals officially sign RB Darrel Williams, release RB Jaylen SamuelsThe former Chiefs RB was one of only seven backs last season to have at least 500 rushing yards and 400 receiving yards.
Darrel Williams rushed eight times for 59 yards and a touchdown in the Cardinals' Week 2 overtime win over the Raiders, adding two receptions for three additional yards.
James Conner departed early in the third quarter with an ankle injury and Williams and Eno Benjamin formed a near-even committee in his absence. It was Williams who appeared to have the advantage in short-yardage situations, cashing in a one-yard carry for a fourth quarter touchdown. He was also the one to bust a long run with his 30-yard gainer on the opening play of the final period. Conner's status is unknown, but he has a history of ankle issues. Both Williams and Benjamin will be worth a claim on waivers. Based on what we saw Sunday, Williams might be the slightly preferred add.
