Williams' snap and carry share shrinking; fumbling issues resurface as Corum cuts into workload.

Williams' workload is being cut by Blake Corum; against the Giants in Week 2, Williams only played six more snaps than Corum and finished with the same number of carries (12). Williams fumbled the ball during the Rams' 28-6 win on Monday night, marking the 10th fumble of his career as a Ram. Through two games this season, the 26-year-old has rushed for 126 yards and one touchdown on 23 carries, down from more than 1,200 yards and 10 touchdowns last season. The receiving split persists from last year, with Williams trusted with 84.8 percent of running back receptions (39 catches last year), while Corum caught just seven passes last season and has caught his lone target this year.
