Dolphins RB Damien Williams pushing to get back on field

Dec 12, 2017

Don’t forget about Damien Williams just because Kenyan Drake is tearing it up in his absence. The Dolphins believe their offense operates best with both guys in the game plan, and Williams has been pushing to get back on the field.

He was knocked out of the game at New England on Nov. 26 with a shoulder injury and hasn’t practiced or played since. He was on the field for some light work on the side last week, though, and coach Adam Gase did not rule him out for the upcoming game at Buffalo.

“We just gotta keep getting him stronger and then when the trainers say he’s ready to go on the field, we’ll put him on the field,” Gase said.

Fantasy Impact:

The Dolphins never specified but the story said reports had Williams' injury as a dislocated shoulder. It's potentially a hit to Drake's fantasy value if Williams returns. Drake has looked good the last two weeks but the Dolphins don't have much depth behind Drake with Williams out.

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.
