Kyren Williams Won't Return In Week 9
2 years agoThe Los Angeles Rams activated running back Ronnie Rivers from the practice squad to their active roster on Saturday, but rookie running back Kyren Williams (ankle) will not be activated from Injured Reserve. It remains to be seen what the Rams will do with Cam Akers, who returned to practice this week and wasn't listed on the final injury report. Rivers out-carried Darrell Henderson Jr. in last week's loss to the San Francisco 49ers, and he could have another decent-sized role if Akers is a healthy scratch or has a small role in his return to this confused backfield. Williams' eventual return, possibly in Week 10, will make this backfield even more perplexing. Fantasy managers are best advised to avoid any Rams RBs in Week 9 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers until the picture becomes more clear.
