Preseason, 2011: Williams Lost For Season

Another second round pick rookie with a bright future fell to a horrible injury this preseason as it looks like Ryan Williams career could be threatened with a possible torn patellar tendon in his knee.

Williams was rolled up on in the Cardinals second preseason game against the Packers, and had to be carted off the field with his head in his hands. Look to Beanie Wells as the feature back in Arizona, as Tim Hightower is now a Redskin.

June 2011

While the Cardinals already had Beanie Wells and Tim Hightower on the roster, the team was horrible running the football last season and the coaching staff decided to select Ryan Williams as an early second round pick. Coach Ken Whisenhunt claims that adding Williams isn’t a message to his veteran running backs but the youngster is clearly going to receive a shot at the starting job to begin the season.

It’s hard to make of what Williams will be for the 2011 season as we head into the summer because free agency has yet to happen, and we need to findout who will win the starting job in preseason. This will be a situation fantasy football owners will need to pay attention to as we move closer to the start of the season because values will probably change just a week or two before the regular season starters.

At this time, the Cardinals are yet to land Kevin Kolb from the Eagles as they are desperate for a future quarterback having failed to select one at the draft. Another issue I have for the Cardinals running game is their offensive line as it clearly needs upgrading, and they failed to do anything about that at the draft as well.

This leads me to believe the Cardinals plan on being aggressive in acquiring an offensive lineman or two in free agency when it gets underway. Respectable additions at quarterback and on the offensive line will be essential for the Cardinals to find success on the ground even though they play in the weakest division in the NFL.

As for Williams game, he can be an effective fantasy running back and right away should he impress his coaches and win a starting job. While Coach Whisenhunt tends to bring rookies along slow, but his veterans (as pointed out earlier) failed to get much done last season, so he might make an exception with Williams.

Williams is the kind of runner who will get better as he gets more involved in a game. He’s not the fleetest of foot so it would be best if the Cardinals commit to giving him the rock at least 18 times a game, to make him a starter for fantasy football. For this season, Williams is probably a late round flair because I don’t like the offense at this time, and he’s probably a player you should let someone else get frustrated with.
