DeAngelo Williams

Week 17 vs. Cleveland
Le'Veon Bell will sit this one out, meaning Williams will get his first extended playing time since Week 2, when he had 94 yards on 32 carries in a win over Cincinnati. He's been sitting out after having a meniscus surgery after Week 9 but he's been healthy the past few weeks. He just hasn't played as Bell has gotten all the work. He'll likely be limited to 20 or so touches in this game, getting just enough work to make sure he's ready for the playoffs. But against Cleveland's defense, 20 touches could certainly add up to a good day. Williams is a solid starting option this week given the opponent.

Week 7 vs. New England
Williams got just three carries last week for 10 yards and is dealing with some inflammation in his left knee. But he should be OK to play this week and the Steelers figure to lean on their running game. But he'll get just a handful of carries.

Week 3 at Philadelphia
DeAngelo Williams leads the NFL with 237 yards rushing after gaining 94 yards on 32 bruising carries against Cincinnati. He also caught four passes and scored a touchdown. You'd better enjoy the production, however, as it will dry up in another week when Le'Veon Bell returns. That said, Philadelphia is giving up a healthy 4.7 yards per carry. That will be awfully tempting for the Steelers to attack. They want to force the Eagles into a shootout so they can force Carson Wentz into mistakes. Williams should be a strong start this week in all formats.
