Great depth! Anyone know if he returns kicks and punts?

I don't think he does.
He's a big runningback with plowing capabilities and can make fast decisions.
It was kind of a shock he was cut at the end of preseason by the Bills.
The reason he was cut was they drafted Williams in 2015 and the Bills had a stable of runningbacks in the backfield.

Brought in to be a gunner on special teams? Taking the place of Lasco...

It's hard to tell what Sean Payton is up to.

Don't think so at all. The RB coach is familiar with him. Coached him. The Saints needs a 4th RB on the roster. Especially, with the new approach to the running game. Once familiar with the system, I wouldn't be surprised if he takes the 3rd spot on the dept chart. The Saints have others to cover kicks. Lasco just excelled at it.

That's the only thing that makes sense.
