With offense sputtering, Chiefs defense rises to occasion

Kansas City's offense sputtered again Sunday, so one of the league's worst defenses through the first half of the season rose to the occasion against Green Bay
NOVEMBER 8, 2021 • Associated Press
Steady ground effort Williams ran for 70 yards on 19 carries while catching three passes for seven yards on four targets against Green Bay on Sunday.
Impact Williams was able to hold off Derrick Gore (three carries for 13 yards) after losing 11 carries to him in Week 8, so this effort might mean Williams reasserted himself as the team's clear top runner out of himself, Gore and Jerick McKinnon. It's not clear whether Clyde Edwards-Helaire (knee) will be able to return to the Chiefs for their Week 10 road match against Las Vegas, but Williams will likely return to a more abbreviated role whenever Edwards-Helaire can play again.

Chiefs hope turnaround has begun with Packers on horizon

The Chiefs are still ridiculously talented, which was evident in fleeting glimpses in a 20-17 comeback win over the New York Giants
NOVEMBER 2, 2021 • Associated Press
Totals 110 yards Williams rushed 13 times for 49 yards and caught all six of his targets for 61 yards in Monday night's 20-17 win over the Giants.
Impact Williams saw backup Derrick Gore enjoy a first-half outburst that enabled him to finish with 11 carries for 48 yards and a touchdown, but the veteran gained stream during the second half. With a combination of handoffs and check-down receptions, Williams ultimately posted 110 yards from scrimmage, his most of this season. With it currently unknown whether usual starter Clyde Edwards-Helaire (knee) is expected to return in Week 9 versus the Packers, the outlooks of Williams, Gore and Jerick McKinnon could be dependent on Edwards-Helaire's status as the week unfolds, making Kansas City's backfield situation worth monitoring in the coming days.

OCTOBER 27, 2021 • CHIEFS.COM
Held to 50 total yards Williams carried the ball five times for 20 yards in Sunday's 27-3 loss to the Titans. He added three receptions for 30 yards.
Impact Kansas City fell behind 27-0 before halftime, which limited Williams to only five carries. He wasn't particularly efficient even given the opportunity, with his longest rush of the day going for 11 yards. Williams did add to his production as a receiver, matching his season high in receptions and posting his best game from a yards perspective. Though the Chiefs' offense hasn't excelled as expected of late, Williams should have a strong chance to bounce back in Week 8 against the Giants.

Comes through as starter Williams recorded 21 rushes for 62 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 31-13 win over Washington. He added three receptions for 27 yards.
Impact Williams saw 21 of the team's 28 rushing attempts in the absence of Clyde Edwards-Helaire (knee). He wasn't particularly efficient, as he averaged only 3.0 yards per carry, and his longest rush went for 11 yards. However, he found his way to the end zone on two occasions, once from two yards away and the other three. With Edwards-Helaire out at least two more contests, Williams should be in line to see plenty of opportunity.

Impact While head coach Andy Reid hasn't officially named a starter in place of Edwards-Helaire, Williams is in position to draw the assignment after he played 77 percent of the Chiefs' offensive snaps in last Sunday's loss to the Bills once Edwards-Helaire checked out of the contest midway through the third quarter. It's worth noting, however, that a negative game script may have played a factor in Williams dominating the running-back snaps over Jerick McKinnon, who was on the field for only 23 percent of the plays after Edwards-Helaire departed. If the favored Chiefs can establish an early lead against Washington and hold it for most of the contest, Williams could end up ceding more work to McKinnon this week, but the fantasy outlooks for both players are brighter in any case with Edwards-Helaire at least temporarily out of the picture.
