Blake Corum

Williams was limited for the week's first two practices, but upgraded to full on Friday. He will likely continue to split time with No. 2 RB Blake Corum, but Williams remains a borderline RB1/2 in what should be a fantasy-friendly game environment.

Williams told reporters, post-game, that "his ankle is good because he had scar tissue from a previous injury that helped him when he was rolled up on." Talk about looking on the bright side. Regardless, Williams is on track to face the Cardinals this weekend with No. 2 RB Blake Corum frequently rotating in. Williams is a borderline RB1/2.

Williams suffered an ankle injury and played through it in Week 13. It looks to be a minor issue, though the Rams are being cautious and keeping him limited to open the week. Rams offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur said on Wednesday the team want to keep Williams fresh for the playoffs, so fantasy managers should not be surprised to see more limited practice listings moving forward. Williams is in the RB2 range for Week 14 against the Cardinals, but his potential workload limitations may lead to Blake Corum being a standalone FLEX play as well.

In other words, the LA backfield split between Williams and Blake Corum will continue in the final weeks of the regular season. "LaFleur told me he thinks they've been seeing the best version of Williams because he's fresher and not being asked to carry as much of the load, and the Rams have their sights set on January and February games and want everyone as fresh as possible," ESPN's Dan Graziano said. Over the Rams' past five games, Williams leads the backfield with 76 rushing attempts to 48 rushes for Corum. Williams has an outsized lead in running back routes, but only six targets over the past five games. Williams, dealing with an ankle injury, will be a touchdown-dependent RB2 in Week 14 against the Cardinals if he suits up. Corum should be stashed in all leagues.
