Saints beat: Jonathan Williams leading candidate to replace Mark Ingram

Aug 22, 2018

Mike Triplett of ESPN reports that "the Saints' decision to release veteran Terrance West on Tuesday further cemented Jonathan Williams as the leading candidate to be paired with Alvin Kamara during Mark Ingram's four-game suspension to start the season".

Fantasy Impact:

Ingram averaged 14.4 carries and 4.4 targets in 2017. Even if Kamara takes some of that work, it is likely Williams would have a sizable role should he be the true complement to him to start the year. He is worth taking a flier on late in drafts and can likely be selected with your final pick. Williams currently is going undrafted.

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

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.
