Cadillac Named Bucs Starter, Is He a True RB1?

So new Bucs coach Raheem Morris named Cadillac Williams the starting running back. This makes for a feel-good story as noted here (via SB Nation’s Buc ‘Em blog). But, what does that mean for the fantasy world? Can you trust that Cadillac will get enough carries to warrant starting him on Sundays? Is he a true RB1?

We’ll probably have to wait until after week 1 to get real answers to those questions. ESPN’s Pat Yasinskas has his doubts, and thinks you should, too.

SB Nation’s own Tampa Bay Bucs blog, Buc ‘Em, weighs in on Cadillac Williams being named the starter.

In one of the best feel-good stories in the NFL, two time knee shredder Cadillac Williams was named the starting running back for the 2009 season opener. He will be part of a heavy rotation (the 2-2-1 that has been discussed) but the fact that this guy will play on Sundays is still remarkable. Again, I’m a pretty big Cadillac homer, but this is tremendous news. While 2009 is most likely his last season here, I hope he goes out with a bang, and by that I mean 16 games under his belt.
