Rams RB Kyren Williams to Return as Lead Back vs. Arizona
According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Kyren Williams will return as the lead back for the Rams against Arizona, but Royce Freeman will still be involved. The team wants to be cautious about overworking Williams and expects a roughly 2-to-1 split between Williams and Freeman. Williams is projected for 16.7 carries while Freeman is projected for 7.5 carries. Williams should handle most of the passing-down snaps and is a strong RB2 play, especially in PPR leagues.

Rams activate RB Kyren Williams (ankle) off injured reserve
The Los Angeles Rams have activated running back Kyren Williams from injured reserve. Williams injured his ankle in Week 6 against the Arizona Cardinals and has missed the Rams' last four games. In six games this season, Williams has 456 rushing yards on 97 carries and 105 receiving yards on 13 catches. He has seven total touchdowns (six rushing, one receiving). Head coach Sean McVay said the Rams want to "be able to give [Williams] a good workload" in his return against Arizona, but want to be cognizant of the high number of snaps he was playing before he injured his ankle. Rams running back Royce Freeman, who was signed from the practice squad after Williams' injury, will serve as Williams' backup on Sunday.

Kyren Williams set to return for Rams
Rams running back Kyren Williams will return for this weekend's game against the Cardinals after being sidelined since Week 6. Williams was dominating the backfield work before his injury, and while it's uncertain if he will regain that workload, he is expected to be the clear lead back for Los Angeles. Darrell Henderson and Royce Freeman did not impress in Williams' absence.
