Ty'Son Williams Predicted to Be Ravens' Workhorse in Week 1 vs. Raiders
Who put the curse on the Baltimore Ravens backfield?! Was it that pesky Lil B again?!
Whoever it was, must have Ty’Son Williams on their fantasy team because the second year undrafted running back will be getting the bulk of the carries in the Ravens Monday Night Football game against the Las Vegas Raiders.

The oddsmakers at WynnBET also believe that Williams will be seeing a lot of action tonight, as they’ve set his carry total at 14.5. His rushing yards total is also set at 61.5, so WynnBET expects him to have a successful night.
Considering that the Raiders allowed 125.8 rushing yards per game, Williams and Lamar Jackson shouldn’t have too much of an issue finding gaps to run through.
Ty’Son Williams also has his odds to score a touchdown tonight at +110 (bet $100 to profit $110), and you can bet on him to score the first touchdown of the night at +900 (bet $100 to profit $900).
This will be the first time that Williams will see action in an NFL game as he spent the majority of 2020 on the practice squad. The former UNC, South Carolina and BYU running back ran for a total of 1,167 yards and eight touchdowns for an average of 4.8 yards per carry in his college career.
The Ravens also signed Le’Veon Bell and Latavius Murray, but since both players are brand new to the team and the system, it looks like John Harbaugh will ride with Williams for tonight due to his familiarity with the system.
The Ravens are set as four-point favorites in Las Vegas.
