The Facts: It wasn’t that long ago that the two leaders of the Chiefs offense were enamored with Williams. It began with OC Eric Bieniemy, who has repeatedly stated that Williams was the starting RB. Now we have a change to the starter’s votes Williams had. In an interview with SiriusXM NFL radio, HC Andy Reid spoke about Patrick Mahomes’ leadership style and a new approach from what he said before at running back. “I did a little bit of that when I was in Philadelphia—the running back by committee kind of deal—and we had some success with it. We’ll do that here. We ended up drafting a kid there also and then the other Williams (Darrel) isn’t bad either."

Diehards Line:A hamstring injury for Williams, one that unexpectedly took him out of camp for a week. Reid wasn’t too pleased with the time away from training camp practice. He was also enthused by what he saw from Carlos Hyde and others on the roster behind (or now beside) Williams. “So we’ve got a couple Williamses (Damien and Darrel) and then Carlos and then a new little guy (Darwin Thompson) who runs around. We’ve got a good nucleus of players that I think we’re going to be good at that spot. They all have their strengths and we’ll try to exploit their strengths there.” For fantasy football players, it creates a bit of a conundrum because it’s nearly impossible to predict what anyone will do in a committee approach. Will Damien put up the sort of numbers expected by getting the majority of carries? Will Hyde supplant him enough to warrant fantasy ownership of his own? What about the “little guy” Reid keeps referring to? Could Thompson spoil all outcomes? Stay tuned.
