Giants waive RB Andre Williams

Sep 03, 2016

The Giants today waived running back Andre Williams, who played in all 32 games for the team the previous two seasons, and placed tight end Will Johnson (burner) on injured reserve to reach the NFL's 53-man roster limit by 4 p.m.

“Andre is a guy that played some good football for us,” coach Ben McAdoo said. “We’re going to miss him. It was another one of those really tough (roster) decisions to make. We feel that with Rashad, Shane, Orleans, Paul Perkins and Bobby Rainey,we have some versatility there to play all three downs, and on special teams as well.”

Fantasy Impact:

Williams’ departure leaves the Giants with five running backs in veterans Rashad Jennings, Shane Vereen, Orleans Darkwa and Bobby Rainey, and rookie Paul Perkins.

TE Evan Engram out for the season. Surgery coming on labrum in shoulder.

Bummer for Engram, who will finish the season as the TE16 with 7.3 half-PPR PPG in nine weeks.

It's unlikely that Strange pops up as a TE streamer through the remainder of the season, with no more byes on the horizon.

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown's practice window to open "Friday or Monday"

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown has received final clearance to practice, paving the way for him to play before the regular season ends.

Brown, who is recovering from surgery to repair his SC joint, should have his window opened Friday or Monday. The team will be cautious.

Fantasy Impact:

If Brown were cleared by Week 17, he would be incredibly tough to start in pretty much any sort of fantasy league with Championships on the line. However, he could be an interesting click for Playoff-only leagues if he can ramp up in time.

For a second straight day today, Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III didn’t practice due to his calf injury.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like things should be cleared out for Charbonnet once again in what could be a very close game against the Packers. If Walker misses Week 15, fire Charbs up as a high-end RB2.
