Jamaal Williams Could Be In RB3 Territory In Week 17

Jamaal Williams Could Be In RB3 Territory In Week 17

11 months ago

New Orleans Saints' veteran running back Jamaal Williams could be in line for an increased role in the event that Alvin Kamara (illness) cannot go. Kamara did not practice on Friday, popping up on the injury report with an illness, but has a few days to rest prior to Sunday's must-win game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Kamara managers will want to ensure that they have Williams on the bench in the event that the workhorse running back cannot go, but Williams should only be placed in lineups if Kamara is inactive or is reported to have a limited role. Tampa Bay is a pass-funnel defense, making this a tough matchup for whichever running back leads the way on the ground for the Saints on Sunday. If Kamara is ruled out, Williams would likely lead the way on the ground with Taysom Hill and Kendre Miller (ankle) mixing in more than usual.
