RB Williams will sit out Bucs preseason opener

Aug 14, 2009

Bucs RB Cadillac Williams won't play Saturday at Tennessee, coach Raheem Morris said today.

Morris said Williams' surgically-repaired knee is fine, but Morris said it was a coaching decision to sit Williams and hold him until the third preseason game, against the Dolphins on Aug. 27.

Williams, who suffered a patellar tendon tear in December in the 2008 season finale, has benefited from intense rehabilitation that has allowed him to return to full speed during training camp. He has participated in full-contact drills without any limitations and has looked sharp. But the punishment running backs take in games, even those in the preseason, is quite different than that handed out in practice.

The Saints officially listed QB Derek Carr (left hand/concussion) as doubtful for Sunday vs. Washington. Jake Haener will make his first NFL start.

RB Alvin Kamara (illness) is off the injury report and good to go.

Related Players: Kendre Miller

Fantasy Impact:

It would have been an easy click for a Kendre Miller week if Kamara were forced to miss, but this puts the kibosh on that. Fire Kamara up as an RB2 this week in a game that may feature him even more than usual with no Carr.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker Doubtful for Week 15

The Seahawks list RB Kenneth Walker III (calf) as doubtful for Sunday's game.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like a clear runway for another Charbonnet week in what should be a tightly contested game against the Packers at home. Fire him up as a fringe RB1/2.
