Kyren Williams

Kyren Williams led the ground attack, rushing 18 times for 50 yards and a touchdown, while playing 91% of the offensive snaps. He was the focal point of the backfield, contributing in both the running and passing games. Ronnie Rivers, not Blake Corum (who played 0% of the snaps), served as the RB2, rushing 2 times for 16 yards. However, Williams struggled with his efficiency, posting 2.8 yards per carry and -1.1 rushing yards per attempt over expectation. The Rams will play at Arizona (shootout on deck) in Week 2. They might be undermanned given the vast amount of injuries they suffered in Week 1 from WR Puka Nacua, tackle Joseph Noteboom, G/C Steve Avila and OL Kevin Dotson. Head coach Sean McVay has already stated the team will look for offensive line help.
I'm selling Williams high off the snap share alone. This OL mess could be problematic, and I don't expect Corum to be a total zero for the rest of the season.

Kyren Williams rushed the ball 18 times for 50 yards and a touchdown and caught three passes for four yards in Sunday's 26-20 overtime loss against the Detroit Lions.

Fantasy Impact

Williams had an up-and-down game on Sunday. He saw heavy involvement in Los Angeles' offense and was able to score a touchdown, but he was also inefficient and rushed for just 2.8 yards per carry. The most notable takeaway from this game is that he remains the clear workhorse back for the Rams, however, as he saw 16 more carries than the next closest guy on the roster, while rookie Blake Corum failed to play even a single snap over the course of the night. Fantasy managers should be optimistic about the season-long fantasy outlook of the star running back as the workhorse RB for a good offense.
