Redskins signed FB Keiland Williams.

Williams is an upgrade on Ryan Grant thanks to his versatility. He'll help on special teams, can do some lead blocking and can even be a power back in a pinch. Williams knows the scheme after spending the 2010 season in Washington. Tue, Oct 23, 2012 12:15:00 PM

Keiland Williams - RB - Redskins

Lions waived FB Keiland Williams.

Williams was mostly a special teamer for the Lions, so this doesn't really have an impact on Kevin Smith's projected role. A roster spot was needed for secondary help as Bill Bentley (shoulder) and Jacob Lacey (concussion) are both in doubt for Week 7.

Keiland Williams - RB - Redskins

Keiland Williams ran eight times for 27 yards in Friday's preseason game against the Ravens, adding three catches for 26 yards.

Three of his touches came with Matthew Stafford still in the game. Williams' stat-line wasn't as impressive as Joique Bell's, who rushed five times for 35 yards while reeling in three catches for 44 yards, but Bell didn't play a down until third-stringer Kellen Moore entered. Bell also lost a fumble near the goal line at the end of a 20-yard run. Williams, who has 17 preseason totes for 98 yards, is ahead of Bell on the depth chart. Bell has carried 21 times for 124 yards.

Keiland Williams - RB - Redskins

Keiland Williams, Joique Bell and Stephon Green will likely battle for one running back spot at training camp.

There's not much room behind Jahvid Best, Mikel Leshoure and Kevin Smith. The bulky Williams didn't exactly impress with his chances last season anyway, averaging a meager 3.4 yards on 58 carries. He's still the favorite from this group.

Keiland Williams - RB - Redskins

Keiland Williams rushed 12 times for 43 yards and added two catches for 17 yards in the Lions' Week 14 win over the Vikings.

With Maurice Morris limited severely by a chest injury, Williams handled the feature back job for the majority of three quarters. He got what was blocked, but the 230-pounder has no explosion or burst. Only the most desperate of owners should consider an add heading into next week's game at Oakland. Morris' injury does not appear serious.

Keiland Williams - RB - Redskins

Keiland Williams rushed two times for 14 yards in Sunday's loss to the Saints, adding one catch for seven yards.

Williams' limited use is noteworthy because it came on a night where Kevin Smith aggravated his ankle injury early in the second half. Maurice Morris carried the load after Smith went down. Although Williams will undoubtedly be in line for more touches if Smith can't give it a go in Week 14, he's an extremely low-upside flier in all formats.

Keiland Williams - RB - Redskins

Keiland Williams rushed two times for 18 yards with a touchdown and added four catches for 33 yards in Thursday's loss to the Packers.

Williams only got significant snaps in this one thanks to Kevin Smith's ankle injury. He tore through a gaping hole in the fourth quarter for a 16-yard score, but played behind Maurice Morris. If Smith's sprain proves to be serious, Williams will function as the power back behind Morris in Week 13.

Keiland Williams - RB - Redskins

Keiland Williams rushed for just 25 yards on 11 carries and added one reception for five yards against the Broncos in Week 8.

Williams didn't enter the game until 11 minutes left in the second quarter. He did have one shot at a touchdown, but was stuffed on the goal-line one play after Maurice Morris failed to get in. The Lions hope to have Jahvid Best back in Week 10, so Williams is droppable in all formats.

Sun, Oct 30, 2011 07:36:00 PM

Keiland Williams - RB - Redskins

Keiland Williams rushed nine times for 44 yards against the Falcons in Week 7.

Williams handled feature-back work in the second quarter after Maurice Morris did the same in the first. The two backs essentially split snaps and touches down the middle, though Williams never got a shot at goal-line work. He's not an attractive fantasy option against the Broncos in Week 8.

Sun, Oct 23, 2011 05:50:00 PM

Keiland Williams - RB - Redskins

Keiland Williams and Maurice Morris shared first-team reps at Lions practice Wednesday.

They're essentially competing for snaps on Sunday with Jahvid Best (concussion) not expected to play. Ronnie Brown hasn't joined practice yet, but is expected to do so Thursday after passing his physical. Morris is slated to draw the start against the Falcons, but he's going to be a timeshare back in Week 7.

Keiland Williams - RB - Redskins

Coach Jim Schwartz confirmed that RB Keiland Williams is still getting up to speed on "protections and things like that."

"We are getting him up to speed," Schwartz said. "He's doing a lot of different things, including playing fullback on our scout team." Just fourth on the depth chart, Williams was a healthy scratch in Week 1. He's not going to have fantasy value any time soon.

Keiland Williams - RB - Redskins

Lions declared RB Keiland Williams inactive for Sunday's game against the Bucs.

Williams may eventually earn a short-yardage role as the biggest back the Lions' have, but he's not ready yet. The ex-Redskins has only been with the Lions for a week. Other Lions inactives: QB Drew Stanton, T Jason Fox, G Jacques McClendon, DT Nick Fairley, LB Doug Hogue and CB Alphonso Smith.

Keiland Williams - RB - Redskins

According to Phillip Zaroo of MLive.com, the Lions plan to use Keiland Williams in the same "manner" they planned to use Mikel Leshoure (injured reserve, Achilles).

Zaroo isn't saying Williams will be the No. 2 back, only that he offers a similar size in a less talented skill-set. "We saw him as a runner at LSU. He's a little bit bigger than some of the guys that we have," said coach Jim Schwartz. It appears that Williams will get a long look in a short-yardage and clock-killing situations. We'd advise carrying Jerome Harrison on fantasy rosters instead.

Keiland Williams - RB - Redskins

Lions claimed RB Keiland Williams off waivers from the Redskins.

Detroit needed a bigger back to go with Jahvid Best, Jerome Harrison, and Maurice Morris. At 5'11/230, Williams was a better fit than Aaron Brown. Versatility is Williams' calling card, as he can play all three downs in a pinch. His addition won't alter the fantasy value of Best.

Keiland Williams - RB - Redskins

Redskins waived RB Keiland Williams.

Last year's evidence that any back on a Mike Shanahan roster can emerge with short-term fantasy value, Williams tumbled down the depth chart when the Redskins finally upgraded the backfield talent. The writing was on the wall early in camp when Williams was moved to fullback. He's a fringe NFL talent.

Depth Charts

Skill Players
Pos	Role	Name
QB	1	Robert Griffin III Sidelined Robert Griffin III's (ACL, LCL surgery) father says his son has been throwing footballs since April and insists RG3's recovery remains "on cue." "Robert is doing extremely well as far as the timetable," said RG2. "He's been doing a lot overtime, he never stops. He was throwing some prior to the draft. Everything seems to be on cue. Everybody in the organization is targeting that season opener." RG3 tore his right ACL at Baylor four years ago. "He might be a little ahead of himself in terms of doing what he did then compared to now," RG2 said. "He's smarter, stronger, wiser." May 17
	2	Kirk Cousins
	3	Rex Grossman
	4	Pat White
RB	1	Alfred Morris
	2	Evan Royster
	3	Roy Helu Sidelined Roy Helu (toe surgery) recently suffered a setback, but is "nearly 100 percent." It's unclear how that works, but coach Mike Shanahan wasn't concerned at his Wednesday presser. It's just another reminder of Helu's fragility. Helu will battle Evan Royster for third-down duties in camp. Apr 24
	4	Chris Thompson Sidelined Redskins agreed to terms with No. 154 overall pick RB Chris Thompson on a four-year contract. Recovering from an October ACL tear, Thompson is questionable for the beginning of training camp. Thompson is a thimble of a football player at 5-foot-7, 192 pounds, but coach Mike Shanahan believes he would have been a first- or second-round pick if not for his injury. That's because of his electric speed. Thompson could eventually make noise as a scat/third-down back, but will most likely be "redshirted" this season. May 15
	5	Jawan Jamison
GLB	1	Alfred Morris
	2	Evan Royster
3RB	1	Alfred Morris
	2	Evan Royster
FB	1	Darrel Young
	2	Dorson Boyce I.L. Redskins FB Dorson Boyce (shoulder) could be cleared for contact this week. Boyce tore his labrum in the preseason finale last year. The 24-year-old rushed ten times for 44 yards in exhibition action last season. He could compete for a special teams role or a spot on the practice squad. Apr 20
	3	Eric Kettani
WR1	1	Pierre Garcon Sidelined Pierre Garcon (foot) isn't sure if he'll be 100 percent healthy for 2013. "I’ll be healthy enough to play," Garcon said Thursday on NFL Network. "I can’t say I’ll be 100 percent, but I’ll be back out there helping the team in any way possible." Garcon isn't sure if he'll go full steam during OTAs. Garcon played through the injury in 2012, but it's a concern he's already resigned to the possibility of playing at less than 100 percent for the second consecutive season. Garcon could eventually require surgery, but has thus far avoided it because there's no guarantee it will correct the issue. Apr 12
	2	Santana Moss
	3	Aldrick Robinson
	4	Skye Dawson
	5	Chip Reeves
WR2	1	Josh Morgan Sidelined Josh Morgan had ligaments in each of his hands repaired after the season. Tack this issue on top of ongoing concerns surrounding Morgan's right leg issues. After appearing to lack burst last season, he had surgery to remove a plate and seven screws from his right ankle in January. Morgan may not be ready for OTAs. Feb 27
	2	Leonard Hankerson
	3	Dezmon Briscoe
	4	Nick Williams
	5	Lance Lewis
WR3	1	Santana Moss
TE	1	Fred Davis Sidelined Speaking in a Wednesday presser, Redskins coach Mike Shanahan said Fred Davis (Achilles) has made "strides," but the team won't know how far he's progressed before OTAs. Davis is six months removed from the Achilles' tear, and expects to be fully cleared by June. Despite Davis' bullish outlook, he's a strong candidate to begin camp on active/PUP, with a stint on reserve/PUP possible to begin the year. Apr 24
	2	Logan Paulsen
	3	Jordan Reed Sidelined Redskins third-round TE Jordan Reed did not participate in rookie minicamp due to a bone bruise in his knee and a pulled quad. Reed, the 85th pick in the draft, pulled a quad, which resulted in knee soreness. The Redskins are "hopeful" he'll be able to get back to action in a "couple weeks." Washington starts OTAs on May 20, and Reed should be on the field. May 5
