I guess I’ll start it. With Hunt getting released and both Ware and Damien Williams FAs at the end of the year, Darrel might be worth an add in deep Dynasty leagues. He didn’t do much at LSU but if you consider he was behind Fournette and Guice, it makes some sense. Plus KC kept him as their 4th RB on the active roster rather than trying to sneak him onto the practice squad...

Edited to add his Info from NFL Draft Profile:
Playing behind Leonard Fournette and Derrius Guice limited Williams' playing time during his first three seasons in Baton Rouge. The four-star recruit and top-12 running back prospect nationally moved from quarterback to running back as a high school senior, topping 2,200 rushing yards and 32 scores on the ground. Williams managed to get 64 carries for 302 yards and three scores in 12 games as a true freshman at LSU (6 receptions, 63 yards receiving) in 2014. The following year he had similar numbers (60 carries, 296 yards, four touchdowns rushing; fur receptions, 31 yards receiving) in 12 games. With Fournette out early in 2016, Williams got two starts but ended up with fewer carries for the year (52 carries, 233 yards, three touchdowns rushing; five receptions, 37 yards receiving) with Guice becoming the workhorse.
Overview
Physical, well-built running back who opened the eyes of NFL scouts with a strong season as a replacement for, and complimentary piece to Derrius Guice. Williams has NFL size and toughness and his ability to handle short-yardage carries as well as passes out of the backfield do nothing but increase his chances of making a roster.
Strengths
Built like a bruiser and runs with good physicality
Sturdy base absorbs hits and maintains balance
Doesn't get cute
Makes decisions early and lives with them
Keeps pads square to line of scrimmage and slides from gap to gap without losing momentum when searching for the best running lane
Has good lateral jump cut to elude initial tackle attempts at the line of scrimmage
Runs under his pads with good forward lean near the goal line
Has size to be utilized as a short yardage option
Very comfortable handling swing passes and check downs and showed an ability to extend drives out of the backfield
Highly respected teammate and named a team MVP this season
Weaknesses
Doesn't feel running lanes developing, needs to see it
Burst through line of scrimmage is below average
Doesn't have the feet and instincts to sting moves together
Doesn't search for late cuts and may not be able to make them anyway
Doesn't generate as many yards after contacts as teams might like
Won't get many unexpected yards
Slow to gather and cut downhill when asked to run an outside track
Needs downhill play calls
Top heavy running style limits ability to make sharp backside cuts
