Who Should I Start? Kyren Williams or Bijan Robinson

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams is planning to be a full participant in practice amidst ongoing extension negotiations with the team, according to Cameron DaSilva of Rams Wire. Previous reporting had indicated that Williams was a candidate to "hold-in" during training camp, but it appears that will not be the case. Williams turns 25 in August and is entering the final season of his four-year rookie contract. He played 16 games for Los Angeles in 2024, logging 316 carries for 1,299 yards and 14 touchdowns. Williams also added 34 catches for 182 yards and two receiving touchdowns. He has dominated running back carries for the Rams in each of the past two seasons. An extended absence during training camp may have altered that, but it appears Williams is opting against that approach as he seeks a long-term commitment from the team.

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson said that the team has "outlandish goals" for the rushing totals in 2025, even after they lost 20% of their starting offensive line from last year. Robinson was third in the league in rushing in 2024 with 1,456 yards on 304 carries, and he's just one of four RBs with more than 2,400 rushing yards the last two seasons. Tyler Allgeier was 32nd in the NFL with 644 yards on 137 carries last year. If the Falcons' ground game is going to improve, it will primarily need to come through the air, and the coaching staff is optimistic that quarterback Michael Penix Jr. will make strides in his second year in the league. "As many times as we can get the ball in his hands, we're going to do it," Penix said about Robinson. Saquon Barkley is going to be the first RB drafted in most fantasy leagues, but Robinson should be right behind him as the workhorse for a likely run-first offense in Atlanta.
