News: 3 days agoWilliams has been consistently finding holes through the defense at training camp, Brock Vierra of Rams Wire reports.

Spin: Williams is set to share the backfield with third-year pro Blake Corum again in 2026, but that may be to his benefit if it helps him stay fresh as a dual-threat running back in the Rams' offense. The 25-year-old Williams surpassed 1,000 rushing yards for a third straight season in 2025, turning 259 carries into 1,252 yards and 10 touchdowns while also securing career bests through the air with 36 catches for 281 yards and three scores. Williams has been breaking loose for big runs in camp, showing his explosive ability as a runner, and he'll look to further elevate his numbers in Year 5 with Los Angeles.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Williams continues to produce at a high level as the Rams' lead back. The 2022 fifth-round pick has produced 1,350-plus scrimmage yards in three straight seasons (including a career-high 1,533 in 2025), and he's one of 11 backs in NFL history who have scored 13-plus touchdowns in three of his first four seasons. Williams' carry share actually dropped quite a bit last season, but it was mostly offset by a boost in both rushing and receiving efficiency, and he still averaged a healthy 15.5 fantasy points. Williams doesn't do much as a receiver (he has never cleared 36 catches in a season), but his overall usage and scoring potential in the Rams' elite offense is enough to make the 26-year-old a solid RB2 option.
