Williams' dynasty value has adjusted downward due to a shift toward a true committee approach in the Rams backfield. Despite three straight seasons with 1,300+ scrimmage yards and double-digit TDs at age 26, his workload is projected to decline from 300+ opportunities (rushes + targets) in each of the last two seasons to a 200-250 opportunity range. This stems from Blake Corum's emergence in the second half of last season, when he averaged just over 10 rush attempts per game and logged an impressive 5.1 yards per carry—better than any single season Williams has achieved. While Sean McVay has long wanted to reduce Williams' workload, he finally has a reliable second option in Corum. Although Williams will still see the largest share of backfield touches, the decline in volume will hurt his fantasy value.

Rock solid, steady performer with 1,100+ rushing yards and 10+ touchdowns in three consecutive seasons across 45 starts; gained 60+ rushing yards in 78% of those games (35 of 45) and ranks behind only Derrick Henry for carries earning a touchdown or first down (220). Despite lacking breakaway speed, he ranks fifth overall in the NFL over that span for forcing 143 missed tackles and earning 2,434 yards after contact. Has developed into a solid receiver and pass blocker, fitting the Rams' inside/mid-zone blocking scheme that emphasizes patience, vision, and burst through holes.

Williams remains the lead back after posting 1,533 total yards, 13 TDs and 15.5 fantasy PPG last season, even with Blake Corum taking on more work. The Rams ranked second in run block win rate and eighth in pass block win rate last season, with Rob Havenstein's retirement being significant but Warren McClendon playing well enough to keep this group in the top tier. Williams remains the priority and an excellent value in drafts.
