Rams
Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams has had a quality season. He's already gone for over 1,000 yards on the ground while also combining for 14 touchdowns. Although the 24-year-old has averaged only 4.0 yards per carry, fantasy managers have been pleased with his production. With Los Angeles looking to make the playoffs, Williams and company will meet the Jets in Week 16. New York has allowed 23.2 points per contest this season, which isn't the most efficient mark in the National Football League. However, the Jets have surrendered only nine rushing touchdowns during the 2024-25 campaign, which isn't good news for Williams, who has relied heavily on his ability to find the end zone for most of his fantasy production. Still, the 24-year-old is one of the best backs in the league, so he remains a must-start in Week 16.

Kyren Williams Eclipses Century Mark On Thursday
Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams ran the ball 29 times for 108 yards during Thursday's victory over the San Francisco 49ers. The Notre Dame product also brought in both of his targets for four yards. While the Los Angeles passing attack was held in check for most of the evening, Williams led the way with his hefty workload. This is the second-straight week Williams touched the ball at least 30 times. Since Week 12, Williams has scored at least double-digit PPR points in each contest and averaged 17.1 PPR points per game during this span. In addition, he found the back of the end zone four times during this stretch. Given his integral role in the Rams offense, fantasy managers should always view Williams as a safe RB1 as he should provide a consistent floor in any matchup. He has another tough matchup ahead of him next weekend, facing the New York Jets, who have allowed the eighth-fewest PPR points to opposing RBs.

Kyren Williams Is A Top-10 Running Back On Thursday
Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams has a tough road matchup against the 49ers on Thursday, but he remains a top-10 running back given his recent form and workload. While Blake Corum has been more involved, Williams continues to dominate opportunities and is coming off a season-high 29 carries last week against the Bills. Williams wasn't especially efficient with those carries, averaging just 3.0 yards per carry and finishing with 87 rushing yards, but he saved his fantasy day with a pair of rushing scores. He has 14 touchdowns in 13 games this season and is over 1,000 rushing yards for the second straight season. He had 89 rushing yards, 27 receiving yards and three touchdowns against the 49ers in Week 3, and he's RotoBaller's RB7 for this week's divisional rematch.

Kyren Williams Delivers Two More Touchdowns Against The Bills
Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams posted another strong week against the Bills in Week 14 with two more rushing touchdowns and 87 rushing yards on a season-high 29 carries while adding two catches on two targets for 10 more yards. He has 1,013 rushing yards on the season, giving him back-to-back seasons with over 1,000 rushing yards. He has four scores in his last three games and 14 touchdowns in 13 games this season. While Blake Corum did mix in early, Williams continues to dominate the workload in the backfield and helped the Rams dominate time of possession 65% to 35% in their wild 44-42 win over Buffalo. The third-year running back will be on a short week before facing the 49ers on Thursday Night Football. While San Francisco has been good against the run, they have given up 16 RB touchdowns, so Williams still has RB1 upside due to his consistent trips to the end zone.

Kyren Williams A Strong RB1 Vs. Buffalo
Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams is coming off a season-high 104 rushing yards last week against the Saints and is in a favorable matchup as his Rams welcome the Bills this week. Williams also scored his 12th touchdown of the season in his 12th game and is averaging over 75 rushing yards per contest. His targets have dropped off with the Rams' receivers healthy, but he still has big potential as a rusher. The Bills have allowed the third-most fantasy points to running backs this year and 4.9 yards per carry, which is tied for third-most in the NFL. He did lose some work to rookie Blake Corum early in the game, but still handled 16 of the 24 running back touches in the Rams' offense. This week, Williams is RotoBaller's RB9, making him a strong RB1 to start confidently

Kyren Williams Rumbles For 113 Total Yards In Win Over Saints
Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams toted the rock 15 times, rushing for 104 yards and a touchdown, in Sunday's 21-14 win over the New Orleans Saints. He added nine yards on his lone target. Los Angeles ran all over the Saints this afternoon, totaling 156 yards on their 29 carries (5.4 YPC). Curiously, Williams wasn't utilized until the tenth play of the Rams' second possession, whereas fellow running back Blake Corum actually garnered the team's first five backfield touches. The rookie was efficient in his own right (8/42) but not as good as Williams, who ran for 6.9 yards per carry -- picking up chunk gains of ten, 11 (twice), 14, and 17 yards. It was just the second time this season that the former fifth-round pick has eclipsed the century mark. He'll get a Buffalo Bills defense in Week 14 that's been vulnerable to opposing rush attacks in 2024, letting up the league's third-most yards per carry (4.9).

Kyren Williams Draws A Favorable Matchup In Week 13
Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams began the year by recording at least one touchdown in seven straight contests. However, after not scoring in meetings with the Seahawks, Dolphins, and Patriots, the 24-year-old finally got back in the end zone in the Week 12 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. With Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp healthy, Williams has a lot less on his plate. Still, he will remain involved. Although Williams' success for fantasy managers is often contingent on whether he runs it in for six points, his outlook is promising for Sunday's matchup versus a Saints defense that has allowed 12 rushing touchdowns during the 2024-25 campaign, the third-worst mark in the NFL. Keep him starting in Week 13.

Kyren Williams A Strong RB1 Play Vs. New Orleans
Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams will square off with a vulnerable New Orleans Saints defense this Sunday in a road tilt. The Notre Dame alum got back into the end zone in Week 12's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles after no such trips in his previous three outings. Curiously, he did not record a target for the second consecutive contest. He could find trouble in that aspect again when he lines up against a Saints defense that has limited running backs to 44 receptions in 2024 -- the eleventh-fewest in the league. However, New Orleans allows 134.2 yards on the ground per game to opposing rushing attacks -- the ninth-most in the NFL -- and an average of 5.0 yards per carry, the second-highest. Fantasy managers can confidently rely on Williams as a locked-in RB1, and he ranks as RotoBaller's PPR RB9 ahead of Week 13.

Kyren Williams Scores Touchdown But Fumbles Twice
Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams rushed for 72 yards and one touchdown on 16 carries during Sunday's Week 12 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. He did not get involved in the passing game, and he also fumbled twice. One fumble was recovered by the Rams; the other was taken away by the Eagles. Williams' three-game streak without a touchdown came to an end on Sunday night as he found the end zone for the ninth time this season. He'll rank as a high-end RB1 versus the New Orleans Saints' poor run defense in Week 13.

Kyren Williams Looks To Get Back In The End Zone On Sunday
Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams has had a terrific season. He began the 2024-25 campaign by finding the end zone at least once in the Rams' first seven contests. However, the 24-year-old hasn't scored a touchdown in his last three appearances. Granted, with Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp missing time this season, Williams had to be more involved. With that in mind, he's due to get back on track at some point. Until then, fantasy managers need to stay patient and keep him starting despite a challenging matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles on the horizon for Week 12.
