Buffalo Bills running back Karlos Williams (shoulder) has been ruled out for the team's Week 13 matchup against the Houston Texans. Williams did not participate in practice any day this week and never had a realistic chance at returning this week.
Karlos Williams injury update: RB ruled out for Bills, fantasy owners
The Buffalo Bills running back has been ruled out for Week 13. We break down the fantasy implications.
Fantasy impact: Anthony Dixon will take over as the main back up to LeSean McCoy. It would’t have made much of a difference even if Williams was active as “Shady” McCoy has been really coming on in recent weeks. McCoy will go for his sixth straight game with over 100 total yards, a span in which he’s found the end zone three times and is averaging 18.4 carries per game. A proven play-maker, Williams owners should expect for the team to continue to lean heavily on the veteran. Williams six-game touchdown streak was nice while it lasted but only eight carries in the last two weeks, handcuffing McCoy is now the only justifiable reason to roster Williams.
