The Facts: OC Eric Bienemy confirmed today that Williams, who took over the starting job after Kareem Hunt was cut last year, will remain atop the depth chart. “Damien Williams is our starter. We expect him to excel in that role,” Bienemy said, via Brandon Kiley of 610 Sports in Kansas City.

Diehards Line:When the Chiefs signed Carlos Hyde this offseason, some thought he’d step in as the No. 1 running back on the roster. The coaching staff clearly doesn’t see it that way. As PFT's Michael David Smith notes, the Chiefs’ offense really didn’t miss Hunt last year, and there’s no reason to think Williams can’t continue to perform well in an offense that’s tailor made for running backs to put up good numbers.
