Running Back Rank: #5
Overall: #5
It took a few seasons, but Williams finally ?got it? last year. He had a huge, breakout season, scoring a league-high 20 touchdowns while rushing for 1,515 yards. He got in shape during the offseason and came to camp with a purpose and it showed. Williams had eight100-yard games. For his career, he averages 5.1 yards per carry. Needless to say, he is a big-play back capable of hitting a home-run every time he touches the ball. The only issues holding Williams back a little is second-year back Jonathan Stewart, who will cut into his playing time and steal some of the goal-line work. The Panthers do have a run-heavy offense, though, which helps Williams get plenty of work even with Stewart around. Williams is a complete back. He runs with power, being able to carry a pile, but is also a home-run threat. Williams showed a lot more patience last season, something that plagued in past years.

Williams was taken as a No. 3 back last year, but that won't be the case this year. He is a top-10 pick for fantasy teams. You saw what he was capable of last season. We aren't sure he'll repeat those numbers and having Stewart lurking around is a concern. But we still like Williams to get around 1,500 yards and double-digit scores. |
