Damien Williams Fantasy

The Kansas City Chiefs plan to pick up the option for running back Damien Williams, who will make $2.3 million in 2020, according to a source. Williams played in just 11 games in the regular season due to injury, but he averaged 4.5 yards per carry on 111 attempts for 498 yards and five touchdowns. The soon-to-be 28-year-old ran for 104 yards in the Super Bowl win over the 49ers and had four rushing touchdowns and two receiving touchdowns in the postseason. When he's healthy, Williams is the unquestioned leader of KC's backfield, which yields plenty of fantasy appeal with Patrick Mahomes under center of this explosive offense.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams was able to find the end zone three times last week in the Divisional Round battle with the Houston Texans. Williams continued his strong play against the Tennessee Titans in Sunday's AFC Championship game. Williams rushed 17 times for 45 yards and a touchdown. He also caught five passes for 44 yards through the air. Veteran back LeSean McCoy (illness) didn't play and rookie Darwin Thompson saw just one carry in this game. It's clear that the Chiefs trust Williams to be their lead back going forward. Look for him to make a significant impact in Super Bowl 54.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams is coming off a three touchdown performance against the Houston Texans last week. He rushed 12 times for 47 yards and caught two passes for 21 yards through the air. LeSean McCoy and Darwin Thompson have been absent from the backfield lately. The Chiefs have been leaning on Williams and it's been paying off. He's been able to find the end zone when he's called upon and piled up 109 yards against the Titans earlier in the season. Fantasy owners are aware that Williams has been up and down this season, but he's red-hot right now. He'll be used in both the rushing and passing attack, so DFS players should give Williams a long look for Sunday's slate.
