Who Should I Start? Kyren Williams or Caleb Williams

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.

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams went 19-for-30 passing for 207 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in the 52-21 blowout loss in Week 2 against the Detroit Lions on Sunday. Williams added five carries for 27 yards and was also sacked four times for a loss of 29 yards. The 23-year-old former first overall pick wasn't terrible in this one, but the Bears' defense really gave them no chance. Both of Williams' touchdown passes went to second-year wideout Rome Odunze, who is quickly becoming his favorite target early in 2025. Williams hasn't done anything yet to turn the heads of fantasy managers, but he should remain a decent QB2 with upside in head coach Ben Johnson's system. He'll have a prime opportunity for a QB1 performance in Week 3 versus a Dallas Cowboys defense that has allowed the second-most fantasy points to the position through two weeks.
