Where was Keiland Williams???

I saw Fosters numbers at the end of the season last year and that is why I drafted him in the 4th round in 3 of my fantasy leagues.

4.8 per rush and a 19 for 97 1 touch and 20 for 119 and 2 touches to finish the season with 2 wins. We are talking about delivering as the feature back in two wins, not garbage time against Philly who had already scored 40 plus points or whatever the hell it was when he put up his fraudulent numbers. And I don't want to hear about the titans game where he averaged 3 yards a carry.

I know there are a lot of jokers on this board that would argue with me if I said the sky was blue but if anyone actually thinks that Keiland Williams is a good back there is no hope for them. He didn't deserve more carries against the Vikings. If he had had 30 carries he wouldn't have broken 75 yards. He is a practice squad runningback who couldn't even start for his college team.

Nothing more, nothing less. He probably won't even make the team next year.

And he had Kyle Shanahan as his offensive coordinator! But anyhow, Foster did nothing Until the end of the season (and I'm not sure who the Pats even had playing the last week) but anyway I'm not saying KW is going to be a beast but I do think it's way too early to just close the book on him when you clearly didn't for Foster

There are a couple of big differences. Williams wasn't even good enough to start on his college team and, more importantly, Williams is playing because of injuries. Foster won that job by the end of the year through his hard work and then never looked back.

Willams is the starter by default and now it looks like a guy off the street may take his job. I am not closing the book on KW, I am just standing by my original statement. He is a practice squad back or 3rd stringer at best. There is nothing wrong with that but I don't want to hear how we lost last Sunday's game because we didn't force carries to Keiland Williams. That is delusional.

The knock on Foster was his work ethic. And there were times where KW started for LSU. But for the most part he split carries with Charles Scott his last 2 years and backed up Jacob Hester his first two. Dwayne Jarrett started in college and you saw how that worked. Just because someone doesnt start in college doesnt mean crap
