Williams' blocking value and production warrant third-down role in potential backfield split.

Williams remains the starter and has continued to produce as an important part of Sean McVay's offense. Against the Giants, he finished with 85 yards on 12 carries (7.1 yards per carry) with a 20-yard long run. However, the source suggests reconfiguring his role rather than removing him entirely. Williams brings value as a blocker for Matthew Stafford in the pocket and is not afraid to stick his nose in against linebackers to protect his quarterback. The source recommends Williams transition to a primary third-down back role while spelling Corum at various times on first and second down if he is the hot hand.
