Kyren Williams Looks to Extend Touchdown Streak Against Jacksonville

Saturday, October 18, 11:42 AM

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams has scored a touchdown in back-to-back games and will look to extend his streak against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 7. The 25-year-old has a firm grasp on the lead-back role in Los Angeles, handling 39 touches over the last two games compared to Blake Corum's six. Williams has been efficient on the ground with 4.4 yards per carry and has also taken on a bigger receiving role with 10 catches and two receiving touchdowns over his last two games. The Jaguars rank near the middle of the league in terms of fantasy points allowed to running backs, so we don't expect Williams to run into any challenges that he can't handle. He remains a high-end RB2 for Week 7.

Brock Bowers Practicing in Full, "Looking Great"

Wednesday, October 29, 3:27 PM

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers (knee) will be a full participant in the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday, according to Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team. Meanwhile, head coach Pete Carroll said that Bowers has "looked great" and is "playing at full speed," per ESPN's Ryan McFadden. The Raiders were saying before their Week 8 bye that the second-year TE was expected back in Week 9 to face the Jacksonville Jaguars, and a full practice for Bowers on Wednesday confirms that. The 22-year-old initially suffered a PCL injury and a bone bruise in the season opener and tried to play through it. He hasn't played since Week 4, though, so fantasy managers are certainly itching to get him back into their starting lineups. As long as Bowers doesn't suffer a setback with his knee in practice this week, he should start on Sunday against the Jags, where he'll be a TE1 in all fantasy formats.
