Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams has been quite productive lately, racking up impressive efficiency and touchdown numbers. Over his last three games, he has four total touchdowns and is averaging a whopping 5.5 yards per carry. He'll have an opportunity to build on this streak during Sunday's Week 12 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs have allowed the ninth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs, with a large chunk of that productivity coming in the passing game. Tampa Bay has also surrendered the most receiving yards to running backs this season. While Williams is more of a rusher than receiver, he could capitalize on a favorable opportunity to contribute in the receiving game, all while maintaining strong efficiency and scoring tendencies on the ground. He enters this week as the overall RB11 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy rankings.

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams scored his fourth rushing touchdown in the past three games in their 21-19 win over the Seattle Seahawks in Week 11. Williams was efficient with 91 rushing yards on 12 carries to go with one reception (two targets) for five yards. The 25-year-old has had a standout season as a big piece of the Rams' high-powered offense and again ranks as one of the best backs in fantasy. Williams isn't known for his explosive rush ability, but he ripped off a few in this game, including his longest run of the season with a 34-yard gash in the first quarter. It was a tough matchup on paper against a Seattle defense that entered the day ranked third in yards per carry allowed (3.7), and the Rams didn't have their best offensive performance, but Williams still came through for fantasy managers.

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams is preparing for one of his toughest matchups of the season as he faces the Seattle Seahawks in Week 11. The Seahawks have been very strong against the run, allowing the fewest rushing yards, third-fewest rushing touchdowns, and seventh-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2025. Those figures don't bode well for Williams, who, despite ranking as the overall RB9 in PPR leagues with 4.5 YPC, has been forced to share some of his volume with Blake Corum. Seattle can severely limit running backs' efficiency, so handling a heavy dose of touches is Williams' best chance of slowly racking up yardage and perhaps getting an extra chance to break off a big run. With Corum as a persistent thorn in his side, Williams' rushing upside is significantly lower. With that all being said, Williams could make a significant impact as a pass catcher. The Seahawks have allowed the second-most catches and the third-most receiving yards to running backs this year. Even if Williams' rushing upside is limited, he could still salvage his fantasy performance with a productive day as a receiver. Managers can continue to deploy him as a fringe top-12 running back in fantasy football.

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams has seen a reduced role in the backfield this season. Despite that, Williams continues to find ways to succeed, which he did once again on Sunday. Williams rushed 14 times for 73 yards and scored two touchdowns in the win over the San Francisco 49ers. He has now scored three touchdowns over his last two games. The biggest downside is that Williams continues to split up the backfield duties with Blake Corum. The Rams might need to rely on Williams more heavily next weekend in what could be a high-scoring affair against the Seattle Seahawks.

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams remains a must-start fantasy option in Week 10 against the San Francisco 49ers as he looks to build on a successful first half of the 2025 season. Williams has 586 rushing yards, 166 receiving yards, and six touchdowns so far, ranking as the overall RB13 in PPR leagues. On paper, a matchup against the 49ers could pose a challenge for running backs, as San Francisco ranks near the middle of the league in fantasy points allowed to the position. They've also surrendered the seventh-fewest rushing touchdowns to running backs. However, Williams didn't see that level of shutdown defense when the 49ers faced the Rams in Week 5. During that matchup, the 25-year-old had 14 carries, 65 rushing yards, eight catches, 66 receiving yards, and two receiving touchdowns. His 32.1 points (PPR) represented a season-high. Williams will look to repeat his success against a banged-up 49ers defense this week, and he should continue to be deployed as an RB1 in most leagues.

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams wasn't involved in the passing game at all on Sunday, but he was efficient on the ground in the team's 34-10 victory over the visiting New Orleans Saints in Week 9. Williams had some nice volume in this one, handling a season-high 25 carries for a season-high 113 rushing yards and his third rushing touchdown of the year. It was the 25-year-old's first 100-yard rushing game in 2025. Williams hasn't been all that explosive on the ground for the Rams this year, but it was nice to finally see him top the century mark in a plus matchup with a positive game script all day. The former fifth-rounder has been more of an RB2 for fantasy managers this year in a Rams offense that prefers to air it out with the arm of quarterback Matthew Stafford. Still, Williams should be considered a must-start in a big Week 10 divisional contest next Sunday versus a banged-up San Francisco 49ers defense.

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams will look to bounce back as the team returns from its bye week. This week, the Rams take on the New Orleans Saints, who have struggled on both sides of the ball. This matchup comes at a perfect time for Williams, who was relatively quiet in the Rams' win over the Jaguars prior to the bye. This was a direct result of Los Angeles taking an early lead and leaving a reduced workload for several starters, but it still hurt his fantasy performance nonetheless. Although a matchup against the Saints could put Williams in a similar situation, we can't ignore how poor the New Orleans run defense has been. The Saints are allowing the seventh-most rushing yards to opposing running backs in 2025, putting Williams in a position to feast if he handles at least 15 touches or so. The 25-year-old is a fantasy RB2 with RB1 upside.
Nov 1, 2025 11:17 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams has scored a touchdown in back-to-back games and will look to extend his streak against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 7. The 25-year-old has a firm grasp on the lead-back role in Los Angeles, handling 39 touches over the last two games compared to Blake Corum's six. Williams has been efficient on the ground with 4.4 yards per carry and has also taken on a bigger receiving role with 10 catches and two receiving touchdowns over his last two games. The Jaguars rank near the middle of the league in terms of fantasy points allowed to running backs, so we don't expect Williams to run into any challenges that he can't handle. He remains a high-end RB2 for Week 7.
Oct 18, 2025 11:42 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams carried the ball 13 times for 50 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown during Sunday's Week 6 win over the Baltimore Ravens. He also caught each of his two targets for a total of 37 receiving yards. Williams didn't nearly match his fantasy total from the week prior on Thursday Night Football, but he still contributed with a touchdown and a solid receiving stat line. He has multiple catches in each of his last five games, as well as four touchdowns over his last four contests. He should continue to be treated as a low-end RB1 heading into Week 7 against the Jaguars.
Oct 13, 2025 12:58 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams is gearing up for a very favorable matchup against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 6. Williams is coming off his best game of the year, in which he totaled 65 rushing yards, 66 receiving yards, and two touchdowns on a season-high 91 percent snap share. He has double-digit fantasy points (PPR) in all five games so far, including strong outings against tough defenses like the Eagles and 49ers. His 91 percent snap share indicates that he has a firm grasp on the lead-back role, and he should be able to take advantage of a favorable matchup on Sunday. Baltimore has allowed the sixth-most rushing yards, third-most receptions, and third-most fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2025. As a result, Williams is a mid-range RB1 this week.
Oct 11, 2025 12:01 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams rushed for 65 yards on 14 carries during Thursday's overtime loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 5. He also converted 10 targets into eight catches, 66 yards, and two receiving touchdowns. It was a remarkable showing from the young running back as he delivered massive production as a receiver. After primarily being a ball carrier through his first three seasons, Williams has suddenly taken on a large role in the passing game with 13 catches and three receiving touchdowns over his last three contests. His dual-threat impact has allowed him to hold onto the lead back role over Blake Corum, who had 11 touches last Sunday but just one on Thursday night. While Williams' eight catches and two receiving touchdowns may not be sustainable going forward, managers should expect that he'll continue to make an impact on the ground and through the air. He's back in the low-end RB1 territory for Week 6 against an underwhelming Ravens defense.
Oct 3, 2025 12:19 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams has started to see his usage decline recently, and a Week 5 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers won't do him any favors as he tries to get back on track. There's no question that Williams was still a productive fantasy option last Sunday as he totaled 94 scrimmage yards. However, he did so against a subpar Colts defense while handling a season-low 16 touches and 68 percent snap share. Last week, Williams' low usage was balanced out by his high efficiency. He might not have the same fortune on Thursday night against a 49ers defense allowing the sixth-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2025. Williams' fantasy value is slipping; he's now a fringe top-24 fantasy running back for Week 5.
Oct 2, 2025 12:39 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams ranks as the overall RB16 through three games this season, and he'll look to maintain his fantasy relevance heading into Week 4 against the Indianapolis Colts. The Rams have been more willing to use Blake Corum lately, suggesting Williams' role could get scaled back slightly. This would be problematic if his efficiency numbers were poor -- which they were for the first two games of the season before he averaged an impressive 4.7 yards per carry last week, bringing his season average to a respectable 4.1 yards per carry. He also has two touchdowns in three games, which have been enough to give him double-digit fantasy points in each of the three contests. All in all, Williams isn't the top-eight running back we saw in 2023 and 2024, but he's still a fantasy-relevant RB2 going forward. That remains the case this week against the Colts, who rank near the middle of the league with the 14th-fewest fantasy points allowed to running backs.
Sep 27, 2025 1:59 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams rushed for 94 yards on 20 carries during Sunday's Week 3 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. He also converted three targets into two catches, 18 receiving yards, and a receiving touchdown. The 25-year-old played 75.8 percent of the offensive snaps in the loss, which is up nearly six percent from his snap share in Week 2. Although Blake Corum continues to handle some volume, he's not really pushing for the starting job. Williams remains the lead back in Los Angeles, and his ability to make an impact in the passing game on Sunday bodes well for his fantasy value going forward. He'll rank as a mid-range RB2 heading into next week's clash with a surging, undefeated Colts squad.
Sep 21, 2025 8:53 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams is no longer a surefire RB1, especially in Week 3 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Williams saw his workload take a step back last week as he totaled 70 percent of the offensive snaps. Meanwhile, Blake Corum's snap share jumped to 30 percent, and the second-year back also scored a touchdown. While Williams remains the lead back in Los Angeles, he isn't necessarily a guaranteed workhorse anymore. He's going to continue to face competition, and he'll also have to deal with a tough matchup this week. The Eagles have allowed the 11th-fewest fantasy points to running backs, and they held the Chiefs' backfield to just 55 total rushing yards in Week 2. Williams drops to the low-end RB2 range for this week.
Sep 20, 2025 11:22 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams could be headed for more of a timeshare with second-year running back Blake Corum, according to coach Sean McVay. McVay said that an ideal split would be about "a 65/35 ratio for those guys. I think you want Kyren playing about two-thirds of the time, and Blake playing the other third." Williams played 80% of the team's snaps in Week 1 and 70% in Week 2 while Corum's workload increased. Williams had 66 yards and no touchdowns on 17 carries and added two catches for 14 yards, while Corum had five carries for 44 yards and a touchdown. Williams still seems to be the clear option in passing situations, but Corum's role could cut into his role as the featured back if McVay sticks to this plan. This kind of timeshare split would be a big hit to Williams' value and make Corum a great grab off the waiver wire going into the team's big Week 3 matchup against the Eagles.
Sep 16, 2025 9:07 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams remains a strong fantasy option for Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans. Williams' nose for the end zone was on display once again last week as he scored a touchdown against the Houston Texans, and he has a strong chance to score this Sunday in a very favorable matchup against the Titans. Just last week, we saw this Tennessee defense surrender 151 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown to a Broncos team that admitted it didn't even run the ball as much as it should have. If Denver could have pushed closer to 200 yards on the ground, then there's a very real chance that someone like Williams can go for 100 yards and a touchdown, especially with game script and time of possession favoring the Rams. Williams is a high-end RB2 with mid-range RB1 upside.
Sep 13, 2025 12:20 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams has been the topic of many backfield discussions this offseason, and there was plenty of speculation that the team could look to bring in running back competition. While the presence of Blake Corum and Jarquez Hunter can't be ignored, there's no doubt that this backfield belongs to Williams and that he should continue to have an every-down role. That will benefit him this week against the Texans, who allowed the sixth-fewest rushing touchdowns to running backs last year. Therefore, a high-volume role is necessary to justify starting a running back against the Texans in fantasy football. Williams fits that description, and he also has a track record of scoring touchdowns against stingy defenses. He belongs in fantasy lineups this week.
Sep 6, 2025 10:07 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams could be in danger of seeing a reduced workload this upcoming season. As reported by Mike Florio of NBC, Rams offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur said that "the plan is to split those up a little bit and distribute, whether it's the run or the pass game, and making sure people are involved within the scheme" when discussing the potential for Williams to lose touches to second-year running back Blake Corum. While LaFleur expressed that if anyone could take on a larger workload, it would be Williams, the team appears to focus on keeping their top running back healthy throughout the long season. LaFleur also expressed that Corum has "had a really good training camp" and that "he'll get his opportunities come Week 1." Last season, Williams was deployed as the clear workhorse in Los Angeles, while Corum only ran the ball 58 total times. While fantasy managers should still view Williams as a low-end RB1, he could fall into the high-end RB2 range if he were to see a drop in attempts.
Aug 28, 2025 8:21 AM EST
The Los Angeles Rams and running back Kyren Williams agreed to a three-year, $33 million extension on Tuesday, including $23 million in guarantees, according to agents Drew and Jason Rosenhaus. Williams gets rewarded with a new deal after topping 1,000 yards rushing in each of the last two seasons with the rams. Last year in 16 regular-season starts, the 24-year-old had a career-high 316 carries for 1,299 rushing yards and a career-best 14 rushing touchdowns, adding a career-high 34 receptions on 40 targets for another 182 yards and two scores. The numbers were great for fantasy purposes, but Williams wasn't as efficient as his Pro Bowl season in 2023, and second-year RB Blake Corum could see more involvement in 2025. It will be hard for Williams to ever be as efficient as he was in 2023 if Corum becomes more involved. He's on the RB1/2 borderline in RotoBaller's rankings.
