STACKED’s take

Negative signalMatchup

Williams struggled against 5-man fronts despite some explosive runs; expect similar 49ers approach.

Against the Falcons' 5-man fronts, Williams had three carries of 15+ yards but posted a 38.5% success rate with -0.20 EPA per rush; the Falcons bottled up the Rams' ground attack by creating congested surfaces without stacking the box (Williams faced stacked boxes less than 25% of the time). The 49ers will employ similar tactics with Raheem Morris, who knows how to limit Williams's effectiveness.
