Darrel Williams Could Have A Prominent Role In Week 3
2 years agoArizona Cardinals running back Darrel Williams could have a significant role in the offense in Week 3 with James Conner (ankle) being listed as a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup with the Rams. Williams found the endzone last week in relief of Conner, but split carries evenly with running back Eno Benjamin in the process. The Rams aren't an overly encouraging matchup, but they have given up 211 rushing yards through two weeks, allowing 4.1 yards per carry. Williams figures to be more valuable than Benjamin, but both backs should split the load pretty evenly. Williams figures to handle the early-down work while Benjamin is used more in a third-down role. Both could be on the FLEX radar if Conner is ruled out, but the split workload makes them both risky options.
