Dexter Williams Performs As Lead Running Back In Opener
5 years agoGreen Bay Packers running back Dexter Williams operated as the teams lead running back in the opening preseason game against the Houston Texans. Williams was likely to be given the nod to led the charge, given the injuries to starter Aaron Jones and backup Jamaal Williams, but took the opportunity with both hands. Williams rushed for 62 yards from 14 attempts, averaging 4.4 yards per carry- while also catching his single target for 18 yards in the air. Williams is likely the team's third option at the position, so his fantasy relevance is limited. However, performances like this mean that he could be relied upon as a waiver-wire option. Especially if either of the two backs in front of him where to be injured in season.
