At the very least, he’s worth a bench stash.RB William Powell (Arizona)Percent owned (ESPN): 0.1%The Cardinals have lost Beanie Wells and Ryan Williams for the season in back-to-back weeks. William Powell is hardly proven, but he would seem to be the favorite to be the lead back going forward. He was already the 3rd down back and they really like him as a receiver and a blocker and he had a great preseason as a runner to make the roster, leading the league with 249 rushing yards and 3 touchdowns on 42 carries. Look for him to lead a running back committee with change of pace back LaRod Stephens-Howling and former practice squad back Alfonso Smith.RB Alex Green (G...
