As the Pittsburgh Steelers prepare to head to Cincinnati in a rivalry Wild Card matchup against the Andy Dalton-less Cincinnati Bengals, Pittsburgh will likely be without running back DeAngelo Williams. It's a major blow for a team that lost Le'Veon Bell early in the season, only for Williams to step up and perform at an elite level.
Williams suffered the foot injury in Week 17 and was in a walking boot after the game and early in the week. It's not surprising that Williams will be unable to suit up for Saturday's playoff game. While it would not have been the first playoff game of Williams' career, he likely would have surpassed the 11 combined carries he received in three playoff games between 2013 and '14.
If Williams will indeed miss Saturday's game, Fitzgerald Toussaint is expected to step up as the starter against the Bengals, though Jordan Todman should receive some touches as well. Facing a Bengals' defense that has allowed the seventh-fewest rushing yards per game this season, Toussaint is oen to avoid in DFS.
