Kyren Williams Gets Favorable Game Script for Week 2

Saturday, September 13, 12:20 PM

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.

Jahmyr Gibbs Looking for Improved Efficiency in Week 2

Friday, September 12, 1:00 PM

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs had one of the least efficient games of his career in Week 1 against the Green Bay Packers, totaling just 50 yards from scrimmage on 19 touches without reaching the end zone. Gibbs led the Lions in receptions with 10, but he was only able to log 31 receiving yards on those 10 catches. The 23-year-old has a much easier matchup on paper in Week 2 against the Chicago Bears, who allowed 120 rushing yards to the Minnesota Vikings on Monday night. In two games against Chicago last season, Gibbs rushed for 196 yards and a touchdown on 32 carries and added six catches for 62 yards as a receiver. However, it's worth noting that fellow Lions back David Montgomery did not play in one of those games, and Gibbs had fewer rush attempts (nine) than Montgomery (11) against the Packers on Sunday. Gibbs remains a must-start fantasy RB1 in Week 2, but he may need to stay heavily involved as a receiver to post a monster game.
