Lol
? As in "if beanie sits on Sunday don't play Williams!"??This was you making a funny rt?
Beanie Wells no longer has to be listed on the injury report, he is either questionable or out. It has been this way since he played backyard football with his friends.

As in "just because he's listed as questionable doesn't mean he won't start"
Start your engines does not mean insert Ryan Williams into your lineups. Just means get ready! If beanie sits Williams goes rt into my flex. If he plays I'm less inclined to do that. Who's overreacting?

This. I was high on Ryan Williams from the onset of the preseason but as it progressed and I got a closer look at that offensive line, my expectations became tempered.
Seattle defense is good no doubt. But Ryan Williams has the potential to be special. He's a baller. At some point this season I think he will usurp beanie as the starting tailback. I would just be thrilled if beanies hammy issue sped up that decision to now, because all Williams needs is one game to stick beanies #### to the bench for good. Might as well be game 1!

So I don't want my tone to be misconstrued, I'm not coming at you. I'm simply suggesting people temper their excitement. It's something I've had to try real hard at as I used to be easily excited by this sort of news. It means a whole lot for Wells owners and means just as much to Williams' owners (hopefully the former and latter are one in the same).
All good. It just seems like there are so many very cranky posters in the shark pool these days ready to pick you apart with every post. This is a great forum but those posters who do that really need a Xanax...or a Bj

...and Williams has played none. And is coming off a tough injury. And is playing against a very good run defense. The only way it could actually be worse is if they were playing in Seattle. But I don't think it really matters. I don't this is the week (year?) to trot out ANY Arizona RB and hope for a line that's much more than 12/46/0.

..but..but he's still an injury prone, good for nothing, talentless bum who could never score double digit TDs let alone rush for 1,000+ yards in a season. Scrub.

Footballguy
By double digits do you mean a number like 10? Because that's how many TDs he had last year.

He also ran for 1,000+ yards.

With Ryan Mathews out....if Wells is out I'm playing Ryan Williams as my #2 RB this week in one of my leagues over Ingram.

Beanie will probably play and that dampens some of the potential excitement for Williams owners in Week 1.
However, the fact he's already hurt with a new injury bodes well for Williams' potential to make a significant impact as the season goes along.

I like Beanie a lot in terms of talent. But there's no denying the fact he struggles to stay healthy. That could end up being a real problem for him this season if Williams plays to his potential.

Yea it's too bad that's his absolute ceiling that he'll more than likely never reach again for as long as he's in ARI. He really lucked out with the Williams injury.

This. Not saying Beanie will carry the load or anything, but people seem to enjoy finding sleepers more than guys that have already produced. Every rookie or young player is 'expected to take over the starting role' right away, or soon. Beanie helped a lot of people make the playoffs last year.

How was Beanie in all those games he started and either quickly got pulled for getting hurt/being ineffective? He usually suits up on gameday, it's a mystery week to week how much he'll play. Been that way since college. Hell of a player, just not on the field enough.
Ryan Williams is not even that. Last season he played in 0 total games. The year before he played in 10 of a possible 14 games because of injury. He started only 5 of them due to performance. In college.

Not saying Williams is any healthier, but he's been a completely different case. He had two injuries that cost him time. Beanie is always banged up and infrequently plays through it. If you play Beanie every time he's active you get more bad games than good because he so frequently doesn't make it the whole game. Williams, we don't know yet. We know he had a couple of serious injuries and missed time because of it. I'd rather roll the dice on the unknown than the guy I know I can't trust.

Big part of the frustration with Beanie's constant injuries is that Arizona usually plays in the late games. So you have to decide to start/sit him before all info is available (inactives list hasn't been submitted before the early games start).
Shutout
Footballguy
Yeah. Its "Reggie Wayne" syndrome. People, for the life of them, can't resist spending more time trying to make news instead of reporting it. So they look over a player that HAS produced when that player becomes boring, even when boring is solid. Beanie has been discussed ad naseum. Its always the same story. Someone says he's a bum that gets injured. Someone else points out that he has been a top 17 or so RB and hasn't missed any more games than ANY OTHER starting RB in th elast three years. Someone says Williams is a stud waiting in the wings. Someone else points out that he hasn't done a thing in the NFL and had trouble staying healthy, himself, in the NFL and college. I think people just need to accept two things about Beanie:1) for whatever reason, he's one of these handful of players in the league that people have STRONG pre-conceived notions about and nothing short of him just disappearing or playing 2-3 straight years without missing a game is going to sway one side or the other.2)For fantasy purposes in 2012, we may be wasting our time talking about Wells, Williams, or any other Cardinal, sans Fitz. This team has legit o-line issues. If Wells was the only back on the team, I'm not sure people could feel good starting him against their schedule more than 5-6 times this year. I own Beanie in one league and I wish it wasn't true, but right now, I pretend he's not on my roster.
