While the circumstances of Williams getting the nod are unfortunate, life must go on. Le’Veon Bell
In the two games that Williams started in place for the suspended Bell, he had 204 yards on 41 carries and three touchdowns in the Steelers backfield. The game plan in Pittsburgh doesn’t change with Bell out for the year, and we should expect Williams to get 20 to 25 touches per game as their primary running back. The Steelers rely on their work horse running back, and Williams will be just that for the rest of the season. In weeks 3-7 with Bell in the lineup, Williams only received 13 combined carries, despite the early success he had in the first two games.
