"One of fantasy's most productive backs over the last two seasons, Williams has scored 31 touchdowns (tied for most among RBs) and averaged 18.8 fantasy PPG (fourth highest) during the span. Last season, he paced all backs in snaps and carries inside the opponent's 5-yard line (19), while ranking no lower than seventh in carries, rushing yards, touches and TDs. He had an extremely high floor (28th was his worst weekly finish) despite limited work as a receiver (outside the top 25 in receptions and yards for the second straight season). Williams' 610 touches over the last two seasons (third most) is a moderate concern, but he's in his prime at age 25 and well positioned as the Rams' feature back. He should be valued as a fringe RB1."


"Williams and teammate Blake Corum were both limited during the practice week with ankle injuries, and both managed to suit up for Sunday's regular-season finale. The talented duo split the backfield work evenly with Williams outproducing Corum 81 to 69 in total yards. The 24-year-old Williams finishes the regular season with a 259-1,252-10 rushing line while adding 281 receiving yards and three additional scores across 17 starts. The consistent fantasy star has generated at least 1,000 rushing yards with double-digit touchdowns for three straight years. Williams will continue to start while sharing backfield responsibilities with Corum as the Rams prepare to face the Panthers in the wild-card round of the playoffs."
