Anyone think this kid is a super sneaky play? I've been quietly adding him to the end of my bench in PPR leagues. Considering BB loves receivers out of the back field, guy could be a matchup monster. 

 
Yeah he's been on  my radar since those OTA video's came out showing how much more explosive he was than any other RB on the roster. I still haven't added him because I hate trying to guess what BB's game plan is and who he's going to use from week to week. Still that last preseason game was impressive usage.

 
I like him, just don't see them trusting him if Lewis or White are healthy.  Throw in Blount's usage and I think any real value is a couple years out.

 
I like him and also own him. Never thought I would be so upset seeing the Pats add Sankey to the PS.

Don't think they will trust him to pass block, and that fumble in the pre season doesn't help his cause.  If white gets hurt he may have value

 
The whole BB fumbling thing is overblown because of how truely horrible Ridley was at taking care of the ball. It's a frustrating thing for sure but it will only be a dictation of whether the guy can get on the field of it is a known and repetitive problem. I think what impressed me the most was his production in the last game came with Brady at the helm. I think people need to keep an ear low to the ground on this one. We all saw how valuable a Dion Lewis was when used in NE's offense like a Swiss Army knife.

Ridley averaged a fumble every 79.1 touches. ADP averages a fumble every 68.9 and Charles one every 61.7. Ridley didn't have a fumbling problem. He had a fumbled at the worst possible time problem.

 
Lol, that's a "more you know" kinda stat. I'll make sure I adapt my criticism of Ridley in future discussions where he is relevant (so probably never).

 
It was uncanny his ability to fumble at the worst possible time. If there was a meta statistic for most momentum lost I feel like Ridley is probably pretty far up there.

He was also nowhere near the talent level of ADP or Charles, so a fumble in a key situation was less forgivable..

 
Not to be Debbie Downer, but this just popped up on Rotoworld~
 

Kerwynn Williams is expected to start if Adrian Peterson (questionable, neck) doesn't play in Week 13 against the Rams.

This conflicts with comments from Bruce Arians, who suggested D.J. Foster will have an expanded role. The Cardinals have yet to rule out Peterson and will take him all the way to game time. Williams and Foster should form a committee if Peterson sits.

Is this the same source as Faust's recent link?

from Faust's link:

It makes for an interesting what-if for the Cards in their offensive backfield, however. Kerwynn Williams will play after hurting his ribs against Jacksonville – Arians had just said Monday he might miss time – and Arians called him “tough as nails” after Williams worked through practice limited all week.

He is the likely starter if Peterson can’t go.
seems to be the same and i disagree with roto's assessment that this goes against the statement of an expanded role. sounds like williams was hurt and wasn't expected to be available to be the starter. still would expect more touches for foster.

This conflicts with comments from Bruce Arians, who named D.J. Foster for an expanded role. Williams (ribs) wasn't listed on the final injury report but has workload concerns if he starts. The Cardinals have yet to rule out Peterson and could take him to game time. Williams and Foster are looking like a committee if Peterson sits.

 
3:25 game makes it tough to make a decision here. 

Have they said what Peterson’s mysterious neck injury is?  I just continue to see a very vague diagnosis of “neck injury”.  Trying to figure out a guesstimate of how likely he is to play, because some of the only other options are at noon.
