Cadillac Williams: Time For Tuneup?

Week 1 was not a great week for first-round picks; four of the first 12 players selected on average in ESPN drafts failed to crack double-digit fantasy points, most notably the Seahawks' Shaun Alexander, who managed only three. While we preach patience, especially with your top draft picks, one first-rounder stands out as a mild worry taking into account his Week 1 performance and health: The Buccaneers' Carnell Williams.

It's not that Cadillac is someone you should be cutting, certainly not because he managed only four fantasy points. Remember, it's only one week, and no matter what happens with Williams looking forward, he's going to do better, beginning in Week 2 against the Falcons. But taking into account all the factors that went into his Week 1 disappointment, there's reason to worry that Williams will be hard-pressed to challenge for top-10 overall status.
