Wide receiver Mike Williams was a surprise healthy scratch in Buffalo yesterday. It sounds like he would prefer to be playing elsewhere.

NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Monday that Williams' agent Hadley Engelhard was given permission to "gauge interest" from other teams to seek a trade, according to a source involved in the situation. Williams was not on the injury report last week, so the Bills chose to keep him on the bench in favor of Chris Hogan and Marquise Goodwin.

Bills general manager Doug Whaley said Monday the team is "not actively shopping" Williams, but confirmed that a trade was requested.

"If he gets me compensation worthy of a No. 1 receiver, which he claimed he is," Whaley said, "then we would entertain it."

Fantasy Impact:

Rapoport reported that the team needed more help on special teams Sunday because of injuries, so Williams wasn't active. Williams was a surprise first-team starter in the team's first preseason game with Robert Woods moved to the second team. But since then, Woods has taken over as the team's WR2 opposite Sammy Watkins. As the story goes on to say: it's hard to imagine Williams having any market. He's due $5.2 million guaranteed next year, which is a huge number for a guy that has 358 yards in 11 games since the start of the 2013 season. Williams isn't going anywhere; he's a sunk cost for Buffalo.

Bills RB C.J. Spiller will return kicks

Buffalo Bills

Sep 04, 2014 · 12:00 PM EDT

He hasn’t made a kick return for the Bills since 2011, but RB C.J. Spiller will be the lead man on kick returns this season. Buffalo’s depth chart has Spiller is listed as the starting kick returner ahead of last year’s starter Marquise Goodwin.

Head coach Doug Marrone confirmed Wednesday that Spiller will be used on kick returns. He also dismissed any notion that it’s a risk put one of his top backs out there as a return man.

“I look at it as how many guys have been injured returning the football compared to people injured with the ball being handed off to them,” said Marrone. “I don’t view it as much of a risk as some people would. I could understand why people could see that because of the distance and the way people are running down the field. But again I don’t look at it that way. As much as we can get our playmakers out there whether it be punt returns or kickoff returns we have to make sure we explore that.”

Fantasy Impact:

Most fantasy leagues don't award points for return yardage, so his owners should be worried about this development. Not only does this expose him to more risk of injury, but it may impact the workload he can handle in the team's offense. Does he stay on the field after his return or does Fred Jackson start the drive? We won't know for sure until the games are played.
