Fantasy Impact: Williams is a more valuable commodity heading into Week 4 now that Wells isn’t there to share carries. Williams had 13 carries for 83 yards last week against Philadelphia and could seen more chances this week. Fantasy owners should consider him a low-end No. 2 running back or strong flex play this week against Miami.
