Williams ended up on my teams in every draft so far. He's usually there in the 3rd. I'd be ecstatic about that if all my leagues weren't ppr.
Usually there in the 3rd? I wouldnt touch him that high. Maybe the 5th/6th, and ill start thinking about him. At least in redrafts. Jennings is more then capable, in fact i'd be suprised if he didnt end the year with more production then A-Will.
I'm assuming he's CLEARLY talking about dynasty. Like 110% talking about dynasty. And the more I watch Williams I'm wanting to take him in the 2nd cause I'm not sure he lasts till the third. Obviously, depends on how my rookie drafts go down the line. But honestly, I love everything about the kid except his ability to catch the ball.
Then again, he didn't have any catches... so who knows is he that bad or was he just not used that way? If he ended up starting at some point this season or next season McAdoo would require him to catch the ball I'm sure. I'd be willing to bet it's the main focus they'll have with him this off-season. I'd personally love to see this kid get a real shot, he seems like such a 'Coughlin' style of running back.
He does run a lot like a smaller, faster Jacobs. Brandon Jacobs BMI was 33.1, Williams is 32.1 on his BMI which is fairly close. He's a BIG boy. And he's actually rather agile for his size. 4.56 isn't that awful for a RB, sure it's not elite top end speed but it's fast enough. He likely won't be breaking many 80 yard runs but he'll bust some 40+ ones.
For his size, he's creepy agile. He placed 2nd at the RB position in the 20 yard shuttle at 4.06 tied with Dri Archer and just slightly below Sankey's 4.0. Placed 3rd in the 60 yard shuttle behind Tyler Gaffney and George Atkinson.
And he also finished 3rd in the broad jump with a pretty obnoxious 10' 9" behind only Lance Seastrunk and Jerick McKinnon.
Alf has proved you don't have to catch balls to be a dominant runner in this league. Does it help for PPR leagues? Sure, but he could still be a beastly RB2 with upside. He could easily turn into a 1000+ yard 10+ TD guy for the Giants.
