Fantasy Impact:

Williams' upside received a nice boost with news that LeSean McCoy would be held out for load management. Head coach Andy Reid wants to keep his veteran healthy for the playoffs, and has been managing his touches all season. If Williams is truly over his rib injury, he should play a clear lead back role for the Chiefs. If they are still tender, both Spencer Ware and Darwin Thompson figure to be heavily involved. It may be too late to switch Williams into your lineups at this point in the day, but if you have already started him, enjoy the prospects of a much higher floor.
