Keiland Williams claimed by Lions

The Lions have claimed RB Keiland Williams off waivers from Washington. HC Jim Schwartz told Mlive.com: “We like his skill set. I think we were very lucky to get him.” Williams' arrival casts Jerome Harrison's fantasy-handcuff status into doubt. Williams emerged as a quality receiver out of the backfield in Washington last year, pulling in 39 catches to just 65 rushing attempts. His skill set doesn't seem all that different from Harrison's, but the team's move puts them at least on the same level. Schwartz also mentioned Williams as a possible candidate for goal line carries.  "(He's) a little bigger runner," Schwartz said, "very productive in a role last year for the Redskins. He scored some touchdowns."  That could put a dent in RB Jahvid Best's upside.  We'll be keeping a close eye on Detroit's RB situation early this year.
