From the article

Williams has proven that he can be an effective NFL running back. He consistently finds production and has been an important part of Sean McVay's offense. However, there are times when Williams appears to lack an extra gear. He can be hesitant to hit a running lane, giving defenders time to close the gap.

Williams' hesitancy in attacking lanes makes him vulnerable to losing early-down role.

Kyren Williams remains the starter and has continued to produce, but the source argues he lacks an extra gear and can be hesitant to hit a running lane, giving defenders time to close the gap. While Williams averaged 7.1 yards per carry with a 20-yard long run against the Giants (slightly better than Corum's 6.6 yards per carry), the source contends the numbers don't tell the entire story and that Corum's explosiveness warrants consideration for a larger share of early-down carries.
