Keiland Williams vs. Jerome Harrison (1 Viewer)

[rawdog]

I know there was a thread going on this but couldn't find it.

So after last night, any more insight on who is Jahvid best's handcuff if he went down?

Keiland just seems like a short-yardage guy but harrison continues to be inactive.

Which guy would be the guy to have as best insurance?

Personally, I'm not interested in rostering any of the Lions backups as a handcuff. I do have good RB options behind him though, so I could absorb a loss of Best.

If I needed to have someone though, I would go with Keiland Williams.

Williams got several carries in garbage time last night and IMO looked terrible.

 

[rawdog]

Sort of my point. So even though Williams is maybe the active gameday compliment, is it the continually inactive Harrison that mimics Best's style and therefore the better plug-in to carry?

I am not sure why people are leaving Mo Morris out of these discussions. He ran great last year when he got the opportunity. Also Harrison was inactive last night which should tell you something. Seems like Williams will be the short yardage plodded but I do think if Best goes down there will be more of a rbbc but Morris would likely start

Complete mystery to me. Best upside is probably Williams, who seemed to play well for the Skins before he got dinged up last year. I believe he catches pretty well so he should be able to fill that role in the offense. I don' see MoMo having any upside and as for Harrison, I used to be a believer but there must be some reason his coaches have passed on him in the past.

No one. Seriously.

IF Best goes down, are they going to hand off to Keiland enough to make him fantasy relevant? They don't hand off now, and their starter is healthy.

Best has value because he has homerun ability, not because he gets 15 carries and 7 catches a game. If Best goes down, I bump Pettigrew and Burleson. I would ignore the backs.

I think if your only interested in handcuffs then Harrison is the play but if you're looking at who as more value as long as Best is healthy it's Williams. I wouldn't be surprised if Williams ended up with 4+ touchdowns this year and is a deep desperation bye week fill-in where Harrison has no value as long as Best is healthy. For handcuff purposes alone, Harrison is the guy and despite what people say would be at least be a top 35 back if Best were to get hurt.

Here is the old thread. . Had to search for 'handcuff'.I still think the answer is keilland williams. But he'll be a RB3/flex rb at best...

Here is another one on the same topic. These should be merged.

ETA it looks like there must have been another one, since I Know I replied in that thread, but not this one.

the second part of your premise is absolutely false. Keilland did quite nicely last year in WAS when given the opportunity. He had career highs with 89 yards rushing and two scores and 50 yards receiving and one touchdown vs Philly (who actually had a good d last year)

There are plenty of people that actually watched Keiland Williams play for the Skins last year. He was mediocre, at best. The game you referenced was the one that Philly was up like 35-0 after one quarter.

If Best struggles to find room behind that line, what do you think those other scrubs are going to do? Useless FF wise.

guess we could find out this week?

Maybe Best dynasty owners should have sold high last week?
