Roy Williams upset by Madden stats

Aug 27, 2009

“I opened up the Madden today, and I'm pretty (mad) about that game,” Roy Williams said. “They've got me at an 86 (out of 100) speed, 87 hands and like 84 overall or something like that.

“I can't be mad because I didn't have a good year last year. They go off that year, but geez Louise, 86 speed? That's like tight-end speed, like I'm a slowpoke.”

The pressure is on Williams to prove his critics wrong as he attempts to replace Terrell Owens as Tony Romo's top wideout, a key hole to fill if the Cowboys are to return to the playoffs after a one-year absence.

“My expectation is to catch everything thrown to me,” Williams said. “A good receiver can make a quarterback look good.”

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
