8. Jamaal Williams, Green Bay Packers

Average Draft Position: 10.06 (RB46)
Projected Fantasy Points: 61.18 (RB59)

Unlike Kamara and Mack, Jamaal Williams is of the workhorse-back variety and could be a key factor in the Green Bay backfield alongside hybrid Ty Montgomery. A lot of fantasy footballers seem to be thinking the same with the BYU product going off the board at pick 10.06 as RB46.

The numbers would suggest a little wishful thinking, though. Outside of a Montgomery injury, Williams' production will be limited. How limited? According to our math, Williams is set to rush 83 times for 324 yards and 2.9 touchdowns, with little to contribute in the way of pass catching (12 receptions, 87 yards, and 0.5 touchdowns).
