Kyren Williams to See a Decreased Role?

Tuesday, September 16, 9:07 AM

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams could be headed for more of a timeshare with second-year running back Blake Corum, according to coach Sean McVay. McVay said that an ideal split would be about "a 65/35 ratio for those guys. I think you want Kyren playing about two-thirds of the time, and Blake playing the other third." Williams played 80% of the team's snaps in Week 1 and 70% in Week 2 while Corum's workload increased. Williams had 66 yards and no touchdowns on 17 carries and added two catches for 14 yards, while Corum had five carries for 44 yards and a touchdown. Williams still seems to be the clear option in passing situations, but Corum's role could cut into his role as the featured back if McVay sticks to this plan. This kind of timeshare split would be a big hit to Williams' value and make Corum a great grab off the waiver wire going into the team's big Week 3 matchup against the Eagles.

Quentin Johnston Scores Another Touchdown in Week 2

Tuesday, September 16, 9:57 AM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston led his team in receiving yards for the second straight week on Monday night against the Raiders and scored his third touchdown of the season. He hauled in three of his seven targets for 71 yards, highlighted by a 60-yard touchdown strike just after the two-minute warning in the first half. He tied with Keenan Allen for the team lead in targets and trailed just Allen and Ladd McConkey in receptions. Johnston has over 70 yards in each of the first two games of the season and has shown an ability to get into the end zone that makes him a very strong option in the Chargers' improved passing game. He's still available in almost half of fantasy leagues, and he's a nice waiver wire addition even though the Bolts have a tough matchup against the Broncos on a short week in Week 3.
