Williams rushed 21 times for 87 yards and a pair of touchdowns while adding four receptions on five targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 20-17 playoff win over the Bears.
EDGE Analysis
Williams had been splitting backfield work nearly evenly with Blake Corum down the stretch this season, but that was not the case in Sunday's divisional round victory. The 24-year-old Williams dominated the backfield touches against Chicago, garnering 15 more carries than the next-highest teammate while cashing in multiple touchdowns for third time in 2025. Los Angeles' primary back had reached 20 carries just three times in the regular season, so it would make sense to see a more balanced approach out of the backfield against the Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game. Williams provides enough of a floor in fantasy whether or not he is sharing touches with Corum, which should make the former the preferred option in DFS formats against Seattle next Sunday.

Williams rushed the ball 13 times for 57 yards in Saturday's 34-31 wild-card round win over the Panthers. He added two receptions on two targets for 18 yards.
EDGE Analysis
Williams wasn't particularly effective as a rusher, with his longest gain of the day going for only eight yards. The Rams were also in a surprising game script, forcing the team to the air and away from the run game at times. While that combination led to a modest yardage total for Williams, he made a 13-yard touchdown reception midway through the fourth quarter to temporarily put Los Angeles ahead. His performance was saved by the score, but Williams saw only two more touches than Blake Corum -- a usage trend that could continue in the divisional round.

Williams (ankle) handled 12 carries for 60 yards while adding three receptions on five targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 37-20 rout of the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Williams (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Both Williams and fellow RB Blake Corum emerged from a Week 17 loss in Atlanta with ankle injuries. Williams maintained limited listings on all three Week 18 practice reports, while Corum was a non-participant Wednesday and Thursday before logging a capped session Friday. Both players entered the weekend as questionable, and now both have been deemed to be available Sunday. Williams may yield some backfield reps to Corum and fellow backup Ronnie Rivers, but the veteran still should produce after averaging 17.5 touches per game in the regular season.

Williams (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rams coach Sean McVay said Friday that he expects Williams to play, whereas fellow running back Blake Corum (ankle) appears truly questionable. McVay also said he'll use starters even if Sunday's game doesn't matter for playoff seeding, but that doesn't necessarily mean Williams would handle a full workload.

Rams coach Sean McVay said Friday that Williams (ankle) likely will play Sunday against the Cardinals, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
McVay also said he'll play his starters even if the 49ers beat the Seahawks on Saturday, in which case the Rams would be locked in as the No. 6 seed. That doesn't necessarily mean starters will play the full game, but it does at least seem Williams is healthy enough to start. It's less clear if Blake Corum (ankle) will play, as he made an early exit from Monday's loss to Atlanta and didn't resume practicing until Friday.

Williams (ankle) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Both of the Rams' top two running backs are dealing with health concerns at the moment, but Williams at least has been able to log some on-field work, as opposed to Blake Corum (ankle), who was a non-participant Wednesday and Thursday. Ultimately, Friday's injury report will reveal if Williams and/or Corum carry designations ahead of Sunday's contest against the Cardinals.

Williams (ankle) is listed as limited on Wednesday's practice estimate, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Rams held a walk-through just two days after losing to Atlanta on Monday Night Football. RB Blake Corum left the game early with an ankle injury and never returned, though he did hang around on the sideline with a helmet, perhaps still available in an emergency capacity. Williams also looked to get banged up at one point, but only briefly, re-entering the game and handling a vast majority of snaps after halftime. The Rams seemingly are expected to use starters Week 18 against Arizona, but there'd still be some risk of Ronnie Rivers taking over the backfield as the game progresses.

Williams took 13 carries for 92 yards while corralling all three of his targets for 38 yards in Monday's 27-24 loss to Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
RB Blake Corum (6-18-0) exited Monday Night Football in the second quarter with an ankle injury and did not return. Williams took full advantage of the extra work in the second half and finished the narrow loss just a yard shy of his single-game high in yards from scrimmage this season (131). The extent of Corum's injury isn't clear at the moment, but the team may opt to play it safe with the talented backup Week 18. Rams' beat writer Stu Jackson reported that coach Sean McVay will deploy his healthy starters against the Cardinals on Sunday, though it's unclear whether Williams will have the backfield all to himself for the regular-season finale, given he was examined for a high-ankle sprain in the fourth quarter before being cleared to return to Monday's game, per Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register.

Williams rushed 23 times for 70 yards and brought in three of six targets for 15 yards in the Rams' 38-37 overtime loss to the Seahawks on Thursday night.
EDGE Analysis
Williams put in a workmanlike performance that saw him hit the 70-yard threshold on the ground for the fourth straight game and seventh in the last eight contests overall. However, Williams also saw backfield mate Blake Corum draw a red-zone rushing opportunity at the one-yard line in the third quarter that he converted into a touchdown. Williams saw a three-game scoring streak snapped Thursday, but he remains the clear lead back going into a Week 17 road matchup against the Falcons on Monday night, Dec. 29.
