Cowboys | Questionable tag for Terrance Williams
Dallas Cowboys WR Terrance Williams (ankle) is listed as questionable for the team’s Week 3 game.
Footballguys View: Williams has been limited during the week of practice, but it looks like he’ll play on Monday night against the Cardinals. Fantasy owners aren’t lined up to start him anyway, and you likely have much better options as Williams is merely a desperation ‘what the heck’ flex.
