Give me something you might not believe in, Grinch.

Yeah, I think all the concerns about Kyron Williams were made up. I think they were ridiculously exaggerated.

Um, and I would say this as someone who really appreciates Blake Quorum and his long-term potential.

Uh, he was a terror in the Big 10 last year.

He, he stomped all over my Hawkeye, he stomped all over everybody.

But we experienced such a collective panic in fantasy circles last week when Sean McVeigh revealed that Williams will be returning points for him.

Perhaps everyone had forgotten that in the past he sometimes had that responsibility too.

It is not entirely new that McVeigh talks about quorum.

It is also a rotational player who replaces Williams.

These guys are generally not considered 12 punch.

They’re not necessarily A and B, and Blake Quorum is also listed as the team’s kick returner, which is perhaps an even more concerning detail for a running back.

So I’m not that worried about Kyron Williams.

We have to remember that he was one of the defining players in fantasy last year.

If you had him in the final, say a month and a half into the season, chances are you won the league.

They discuss it with him again once they are back in the picture.

I’m not worried at all.
