Steelers to sign RB DeAngelo Williams

Former Panthers RB DeAngelo Williams is signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Update: The deal is for $4 million over two years, but is effectively $2 million for one year, per Jason La Canfora.

Fantasy Impact: 

LeVeon Bell is facing a 2-4 game suspension and the Williams signing makes Bell more appealing as a 1.01 or 1.02 pick since he can provide starter-caliber numbers while Bell is sidelined. Over the past two seasons, Williams has averaged 12.4 PPR fantasy points in the eight games where he's touched the ball at least 15 times. That equates to high-end RB2 numbers, so he should be able to carry the load while Bell is suspended.
