Fantasy Football Player Notes

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 were blown out at Arizona in Week 2. They were undermanned given the vast amount of injuries they have suffered the past two weeks from WR Puka Nacua, WR Cooper Kupp, tackle Joseph Noteboom, G/C Steve Avila OL Kevin Dotson. In Week 2, Williams contributed 12 rushes for 25 yards (2.1 YPC) with his longest run being 9 yards. He did score a rushing touchdown while playing 79% of the snaps. Williams was listed as a sell last week, and got by with the TD. I don't think he will be as lucky with the Rams offense struggling to move the ball with all their injuries. It's possible he gets enough volume to survive, but the overall offensive struggles will hurt his total output especially with all the OL injuries. I'd sell off the high snap share and TD score.
