The Athletic's Nate Atkins believes the Rams will continue to use a backfield timeshare with Williams and Blake Corum this season.
Neither Williams nor Corum saw any action this preseason, as the Rams are notorious for resting their starters every summer, so it was difficult to get a clear picture of the backfield situation outside of practice. By all accounts, the Rams want to up Corum's usage after he saw double-digit touches once in the first six games of 2025, but seven times in the subsequent 11 regular-season contests. Working in Williams' favor, however, is coach Sean McVay's preference to use him near the goal line and on passing downs. Even with the talk of Corum getting more work, Williams appears to have a strong fantasy floor in one of the NFL's most potent offenses.
