Andre Ellington, Kerwynn Williams' Post-Preseason Week 1 Fantasy Advice

Joseph ZuckerAug 15, 2015

Kerwynn Williams had a chance to firmly establish himself as the Arizona Cardinals' No. 2 running back behind Andre Ellington Saturday night against the Kansas City Chiefs. Instead, the 24-year-old did little with his seven carries.

Williams got the bulk of the load on the ground as the Cardinals wasted little time taking Ellington out of the game:

Nothing really changes with regard to Ellington. He's a solid RB2 in standard leagues who could climb into the RB1 ranks in points-per-reception leagues.

The one thing you worry about with Ellington is durability. He ended the 2014 season on injured reserve, and a hamstring injury nearly prevented him from playing Saturday night.

Grabbing insurance for the 26-year-old would be a good idea, but the issue is whom you would target.

You should wait to make a decision since rookie RB David Johnson is dealing with a hamstring injury of his own. Chris Johnson's arrival may be imminent as well after Fox Sports' Jay Glazer reported he's set to have a physical with the team Sunday.

Williams may have run for 175 yards during a two-week stretch last year, but he may be quickly crowded out of the Arizona backfield, eliminating any of his potential value.
