Scouting report

MIA RB Damien Williams - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at New England Patriots

Damien Williams is the preferred play over teammate Kenyan Drake in PPR; however, the matchup is not a good one, as the Patriots rank fifth in aFPA vs. RBs. Williams busted a long 69-yard run last week but only generated 9 yards on his other 9 carries. Since the Jay Ajayi trade, this has been a split backfield with 32 touches for Drake versus 35 for Williams. Consider Williams a high-risk FLEX option in Week 12, and one you should bench if you have better options.

MIA RB Damien Williams - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Kenyan Drake's snaps over the past two games after Jay Ajayi was traded: 55% and 44%. Damien Williams' snaps in that span: 45% and 56%. Drake's touches over the past two games: 15 and 9. Williams' touches in that span: 13 and 11. It's a small sample size, but this is an RBBC that, so far, has been game script dependent on who edges out the other for touches. Last week, the Dolphins were largely behind but the week prior it was a more neutral game script. Consider Williams a very risky FLEX play in Week 11 in a Vegas pick 'em game where the game script should be much more neutral.

MIA RB Damien Williams - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 at Carolina Panthers

The matchup could not get worse for the Dolphins backfield, as the Panthers are first in our aFPA vs. RB rankings. The Panthers have also gone four straight weeks without allowing a touchdown to a running back. Kenyan Drake out-snapped Damien Williams 55-45% last week and out-touched Williams 15-13. Williams may have some PPR viability, given his reception count last week, but he's nothing more than a desperation FLEX play in Week 10.

MIA RB Damien Williams - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs. Oakland Raiders

So long, Jay Ajayi. Insert Kenyan Drake and Damien Williams. However, Drake is expected to get more work than the passing down back Williams. This will be a committee. It is a good matchup against a 20th-ranked Raiders defense in our aFPA vs. RB rankings but a committee means you should treat Williams as a desperation FLEX in a week with six teams on bye, as the offensive line is still horrendous in Miami.

MIA RB Damien Williams - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. New Orleans Saints (game in London)

Jay Ajayi is the bell cow in this offense. Even against the Saints, no other Dolphins RBs are starting lineup considerations.

MIA RB Damien Williams - Week 18, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Wild Card Round at Pittsburgh
No Dolphins RB other than Jay Ajayi is worth a start on Wild Card Weekend. Damien Williams is included in that.

MIA RB Damien Williams - Week 17, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. New England
The Dolphins have already locked up a playoff spot, but they said they are playing to win Week 17 against the Patriots. The problem is they are still playing the Patriots. Also, Williams is only Ajayi's handcuff.
