Rams' Kyren Williams: Hits pay dirt twice in Week 15
Kyren Williams rushed 15 times for 78 yards and two touchdowns while catching his only target for 10 yards in Sunday's 41-34 win over the Lions.Williams got the Los Angeles Rams' offense cooking with a couple of trips to the end zone in the first half of Sunday's victory. The 24-year-old is now up to 10 rushing touchdowns on the season, giving him double-digits in the category for three consecutive years. Williams also hit the 1,000-yard mark as a rusher Sunday, a feat he has also accomplished in each of his last three campaigns. Blake Corum (11-71-1) remained a factor in his backup role, but Williams is the Rams' clear RB1 for Thursday's pivotal NFC West matchup against the Seahawks.

Rams' Kyren Williams: Scores eighth rushing TD
Kyren Williams took 13 carries for 84 yards and a touchdown while catching both of his targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 45-17 rout of the Cardinals.Williams entered Sunday's contest with no injury designation and was not limited by the minor ankle injury he picked up in last week's loss to Carolina. The 24-year-old starter cashed in his eighth rushing touchdown of the season and 11th overall through 13 contests. Blake Corum's 12-128-2 rushing line will stand out in the box score, but it is worth noting that a significant portion of the backup's production came in garbage time of the blowout victory. Williams remains the top option in Los Angeles' backfield as the team prepares to host the Lions in Week 15.

Rams' Kyren Williams: Another limited session

Rams' Kyren Williams: Limited Wednesday, expected to play Sunday
Coach Sean McVay said Kyren Williams (ankle) will be limited at Wednesday's practice, but he expects the running back to play Sunday at Arizona, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.Williams missed some time during this past Sunday's loss at Carolina to have his right ankle examined, but he resumed play after halftime and finished with 13 carries for 72 yards and one touchdown while not hauling in his only target on a 67 percent snap share. Meanwhile, fellow RB Blake Corum had seven carries for 81 yards and one TD on 33 percent of the plays. In five games since the Los Angeles Rams' Week 8 bye, Williams' offensive snap count has ranged between 66 and 69 percent on four occasions, while the fifth (Week 10) was slightly lower at 59 percent. Assuming he's able suit up this weekend, Williams should continue to earn a majority share of the backfield reps over Corum.

Rams' Kyren Williams: Ankle feeling pretty good Monday
Coach Sean McVay said Kyren Williams' ankle is feeling "pretty good" Monday after the running back briefly exited Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Panthers, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.Williams was injured in the second quarter but started the first series of the second half and finished Week 13 with a 13-72-1 rushing line on 67 percent of the offensive snaps. Blake Corum rushed seven times for 81 yards and one touchdown on 33 percent of the snaps. If Williams would need to miss any time, Corum would be an immediate plug-and-play fantasy RB1 for next Sunday's game against the Cardinals. It sounds like Williams avoided any sort of serious injury.

Rams' Kyren Williams: Unconcerned by ankle issue
Kyren Williams (ankle) finished Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Panthers with 13 carries for 72 yards and a touchdown while failing to catch his only target.The fourth-year back briefly left the game right before halftime to get his ankle checked out, but he was back in the lineup to begin the third quarter and scored a seven-yard TD in the fourth. Per Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com, Williams said after the game that he's not worried about the ankle being a further issue, and that scar tissue from a previous injury actually helped protect the joint when he got rolled up on. Despite his confidence, the Los Angeles Rams have been giving Blake Corum a significant share of the workload in recent weeks, and he turned seven carries into a team-high 81 yards and a TD in Sunday's loss. It wouldn't be a surprise if the backfield touches shifted toward a 50-50 split in a Week 14 tilt against the Cardinals.
