The Carolina Panthers have placed RB DeAngelo Williams on IR. This injury was initially called a foot sprain, but it's hard to see how that sort of injury would cost Williams 11 games, so I wonder what the real issue is. This offense is nose-diving anyways.
Fantasy Impact: Williams can obviously be dropped in all re-draft leagues. Jonathan Stewart will resume feature back duties once he returns from his concussion, but it will be Mike Goodson's show until then. Goodson is a weak RB2 this week against the Ravens. Given the overall ineptitude of this offense, it's hard to think of Stewart as anything more than an RB2 when he returns. His talent hasn't gone anywhere and he'll post some solid rushing totals, but he's not going to score much because Carolina won't score much. They'll be using some combination of Jimmy Clausen and Tony Pike under center for the rest of the year. Stewart and Goodson are the only two players worth start consideration in this offense. I don't think you have to drop Steve Smith given what little is left on waivers right now, but he certainly should be on your bench.
