Williams had back problems that plagued him throughout the 2006 season. He then ended the season with a foot injury, and one of the most disappointing sophomore seasons one could have expected. We think that this is all behind him though, and expect Carnell “Sweet Pea” Williams to return to respectable form in 2007.

The Break Out Explained

Carnell has all the tools necessary to be a stud back. Unfortunately he was hampered all last season by nagging injuries. We don’t think this will be a factor in 2007 though. Tampa Bay had an early pick this season (5), and if it was a true concern, they would have selected a back with that pick. The fact that they used their early picks on defense and an offensive lineman is a good sign.

It’s no mystery that the Buccaneers are loaded with an array of problems. Their defensive is still very questionable, they have the biggest collection of crappy receivers in the league, and right now their best option at quarterback (Plummer) isn’t even on the team. All of these factors will really limit the Carnell’s potential, but he is still a worthy pick in your draft. With no where else to turn, it’s more than likely that Williams will get quite a few carries, which in turn will result in some favorable fantasy stats.

The Risk Factor:

If Williams is down-playing his injuries, and doesn’t return to health, he likely won’t accomplish much again.

The Strategy:

Williams should fall rather far in the draft, so a mid-late round selection is a real value pick.
