Williams — a former fifth-round pick out of Notre Dame — has helped the Rams (8-7) bounce back into playoff contention after a disastrous 2022 season. Through 11 games, he rushed for the league's second-most yards (1,057 on 208 attempts). Per The New York Times simulator, Los Angeles' postseason chances will increase from 65 percent to 86 percent if it beats the Giants (5-10).
He's probably an MVP for many fantasy players, too. Per ESPN Fantasy, he's 'averaged 20.4 points per game in PPR (points per reception) leagues, second at his position and seventh overall.
