Darrel Williams

The other big injury question the Chiefs have is at running back and whether rookie Clyde Edwards-Helaire will be able to play. If he is not able to, the thought might be that Le’Veon Bell would get the spot but this past week against the Browns he only got two carries while Darrel Williams saw a bulk of the work.

Darrel Williams is a talented running back that can be a threat not only carrying the ball but also as a pass catcher out of the backfield. In the game against the Browns, he had 13 carries for 78 yards while adding four receptions for 16 yards.

Even if Edwards-Helaire is active this week, the Bills may still see Darrel Williams. In Week 6, when the Bills faced the Chiefs Williams got six carries for 26 yards and had a rushing touchdown.

If the Buffalo Bills go into this game with the same defensive gameplan of selling out to stop Patrick Mahomes and allowing the Chiefs to run it, Darrel Williams could be tough to slow down.
