November 16, 2008 Running back DeAngelo Williams rushed 14 times for 120 yards and two touchdowns in the Week 11 win over the Lions. He has scored eight times over the past six games and has gone over 100 yards in each of the last three weeks. Our View:Williams is on fire right now. To be fair, the Panthers have had some soft opponents, but that doesn't alter the fact that DeAngelo looks like an every-week starter in many fantasy leagues. |
|
November 9, 2008 DeAngelo Williams had another big today for the Panthers in their 17-6 win over the Raiders. Williams ran for 140 yards and a touchdown. Our View:This week was the second consecutive game that Williams went for over a 100 and a score. It seems that Williams is receiving most of the carries over the rookie Jon Stewart. |
|
November 2, 2008 DeAngelo Williams is expected to remain the Panthers' starting running back for the remainder of the season, according to the Gaston Gazette. Our View:Williams has outplayed rookie Jon Stewart so far this season, and shows no signs of slowing down. Carolina has a bye today. |
|
October 26, 2008 Running back DeAngelo Williams lugged the rock 17 times for 108 yards and one touchdown in the Week 8 victory over Arizona. Our View:Williams continues to thrive despite the presence of rookie Jonathan Stewart, who only carried the ball eight times for 17 yards. Williams has compiled 17 or more carries in three of the past four games, and has scored five touchdowns (3 rush, 2 receive) during this timeframe. |
|
October 12, 2008 DeAngelo Williams broke loose for 123 rushing yards last week against Kansas City and could remain hot today against Tampa Bay, according to the Charlotte Observer. Williams rushed for 121 yards and scored twice last season in Week 17 against the Buccaneers. Our View:The Panthers hope Williams' elusiveness will provide a nice complement to rookie Jonathan Stewart, who is more of a bruiser. |
|
October 5, 2008 Running back DeAngelo Williams rushed 20 times for 123 yards, caught one pass for 25 yards, and scored three touchdowns in the Week 5 win over the Chiefs. Our View:The Chiefs barely bothered to show up on either side of the ball this Sunday. Williams scored from 10, 25 and 32 yards out, so it's not as if he was stealing goal line looks from Jonathan Stewart. The Panthers and Williams won't find life to be so easy every week. |
|
September 27, 2008 Panthers starting running back DeAngelo Williams may lose carries to rookie Jonathan Stewart if he does not perform better soon, according to Pro Football Weekly. Our View:Stewart has 145 rushing yards to Williams' 144, but in eight fewer carries. He also has three touchdowns to Williams' zero. The one thing that may separate them is that Williams is better as a receiver out of the backfield and has four catches, while Stewart has none. Still, it is becoming increasingly clear that Stewart will be the one garnering carries as the year rolls forward. |
|
September 17, 2008 Although Jonathan Stewart carried the load in the second half of the Panthers Week 2 game, head coach John Fox said the DeAngelo Williams is still the starter. Fox told the Gaston Gazette that, "in my mind both backs are of starter ability and right now DeAngelo (Williams) as I see moving forward is the starter. Our View:Stewart has outperformed Williams so far this year with 130 yards and a touchdown. Williams has rushed for 117 yards and no touchdowns so it seems like both running backs will be in that deadly, shared backfield for fantasy owners. |
|
September 7, 2008 The starting running back role in Carolina was a hot topic of conversation for most of the summer. Would it be DeAngelo Williams or rookie Jonathan Stewart starting on opening Sunday? Williams carried the ball 18 times for 86 yards and added a reception for four yards to his total. Our View:Stewart received plenty of work in the Panthers upset of the Chargers. The rookie recorded 10 carries for 53 yards in his professional debut. |
|
September 6, 2008 Steve Reed of the Gaston Gazette expects DeAngelo Williams to start Sunday's game against San Diego, and for rookie Jonathan Stewart to reach double digits in carries. Our View:Williams enjoyed a strong training camp and preseason and is the preferred Panthers' back to employ in Week 1 against San Diego. |
|
August 23, 2008 DeAngelo Williams continued his terrific preseason Saturday, rushing for 101 yards and a touchdown on nine carries. Our View:The Panthers had their RBBC on a roll, as Jonathan Stewart also reached the century mark. |
|
August 11, 2008 According to the Rock Hill Herald, offensive coodinator Jeff Davidson stated that DeAngelo Williams has become a major player in the Panthers' offense. Davidson also mentioned that he has grown up. Our View:He has turned his entire game around this off-season, and looks more like a back who can carry the Panthers. He looked great in the Panthers' preseason opener against the Colts, as he racked up 55 yards and two touchdowns on nine carries. Williams could be headed for a breakout campaign, even with rookie Jon Stewart in the plans to share the workload. |
|
July 30, 2008 DeAngelo Williams continues to look good in camp working with the first team offense, according to the Gaston Gazette. Our View:Sure it's early, but this is great news for those of you who own DeAngelo in dynasty leagues. Jonathan Stewart will certainly be involved this season, but it's starting to look like Williams should open the year as the starter after there was some thought that the spot could go to the rookie Stewart. |
|
July 1, 2008 DeAngelo Williams has improved his blocking out of the backfield and is now someone the team can trust on passing downs, according to the Sporting News. Our View:The Panthers brought in Jonathan Stewart to challenge for touches out of the backfield, but it's good to hear that Williams can handle blocking duties which could lead to a lot of work on third downs. |
|
May 4, 2008 DeAngelo Williams doesn't mind sharing the Panthers' workload at running back with rookie Jonathan Stewart, according to the AP. The team released DeShaun Foster, but replaced him with Stewart with the 13th overall pick in the draft. Williams knows he will split time with Stewart like he did with Foster and commented, " It didn’t bother me at all. I still have the same mind-set whether I’m the starter or not the starter. I was thinking everybody is going to the two-back system, so whether he starts the game off or I start the game off, we’ll both get the same amount of carries, give or take a few." Our View:John Fox is leaning on the formula that led the Panthers to the Super Bowl in 2003, when Stephen Davis grinded out yards to chew up the clock as the workhorse, with the explosive Foster spelling him with big-play potential. The Panthers hope the 5-foot-10, 233-pound Stewart will add a smash-mouth style that has been missing in consecutive seasons of missing the playoffs. Williams will be the smaller, shiftier back in the offense. The pair will likely need to be "handcuffed" this season. |
|
March 10, 2008 DeAngelo Williams has incorporated distance running into his offseason training repertoire so that he can better finish off runs, according to the Charlotte Observer. Williams has been doing a lot of running during the offseason in preparation for the increased workload expected due to the departure of DeShaun Foster. We expect Carolina to burn a first day draft choice on a running back to provide some competition at the position, but its pretty clear at this point that Williams’ will be a key contributor in 2008. |
