If you worried about Rams RB Kyren Williams' role coming out of Week 2, then Week 3 proved that you should stop. He collected a season-high 20 carries for 94 yards in the narrow loss at Philadelphia, adding 2 receptions for 18 yards and a TD among three targets.

Williams played a season-high 50 offensive snaps. His 75.8% snap share fell right between his rates from the first two weeks (81.7% and 70.5%).
Williams' snap count also more than tripled Blake Corum's (16). The backup RB ran for 53 yards on eight carries and ran three pass routes.
Sunday's game marked the third straight with at least 17 carries and 19 touches for Williams.
His TD catch came from 10 yards out, and Williams handled the team's only two carries from the 10-yard line and in. He actually ran for a 2-yard TD in the second quarter, but a holding penalty nullified the play and pushed the team back. The Rams then threw an incompletion and kicked a FG.
Williams still runs the risk of losing a TD here and there to Corum, who continues to sub in for a couple of drives. But there's no threat to Williams' role.
Home dates with the Colts and 49ers await the next two weeks. Those defenses entered Sunday ranked 25th and 11th, respectively, in rush DVOA.
San Francisco lost Edge Nick Bosa to a knee injury in Week 3, though. We'll see whether he misses further time.
