From the article

Williams wasn't great in Week 1 (65 yards, 1 TD), but he also wasn't terrible... he was still the clear No. 1 RB on the team (72 Utilization Score, per our Fantasy Life Utilization Report), and now he's an indoor home favorite with a three-day rest advantage against an East Coast team traveling across the country... The only guy in the league with 1,300+ yards and 13+ TDs in each of the past three seasons, Williams should get his production in this spot.

Williams' elite three-year production and Giants' historically bad rush defense warrant Week 2 upgrade.

Williams is upgraded for Week 2 vs. Giants despite a modest Week 1 (65 yards, 1 TD); he was the clear No. 1 RB on the Rams (72 Utilization Score) and now faces an indoor home favorite matchup with a three-day rest advantage against an East Coast team traveling across the country. The Giants were No. 32 in defensive rush EPA (0.109) and defensive rush DVOA (10.9%), making them a flow-chart defense. Williams is the only guy in the league with 1,300+ yards and 13+ TDs in each of the past three seasons and should get his production in this spot.
