Sharp take
Sharp SixBenchDoubtful plus a betting market already pricing in the backup is about as close to ruled out as you get without the word. This is still unconfirmed, so hold Williams rather than panic-cutting a 100%-rostered QB off one 10.1-point week. Keenum is the part that matters and he is not the answer: a 41.5 total as a 4.5-point underdog against Philadelphia is where streaming quarterbacks go to die. Start someone else this week. Leave Keenum on the wire.
