Fantasy football players likely didn't envision Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams as a key piece of their playoff picture, but here we are heading into Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Chiefs reporter BJ Kissel noted Spencer Ware was among the team's inactives for the critical AFC West showdown thanks to shoulder and hamstring injuries, leaving Williams as the starting running back.
He will have plenty of opportunity with first place in the division hanging in the balance, but playing him is still a risky endeavor thanks to a lack of an established track record.
