Who Should I Start? Kyren Williams or Jaylen Wright

Monday, April 27, 6:00 AM

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams has finished as the RB9 or better in each of the past three years, and a league-winning season looked inevitable had he not missed significant time in his 2023 breakout campaign. For the first time since 2016, the Rams did not add to the running back room through the NFL Draft, and yet the 25-year-old Williams continues to slide in dynasty rankings, currently slotting in as RotoBaller's RB17. Concerns of Blake Corum's expanding role are justified after the team seemed to make a concerted effort to keep Williams fresh down the stretch, and with Corum's five rushing touchdowns trailing only Derrick Henry over the final six weeks of the season, he has rightfully earned more touches moving forward. That said, Williams' contract runs through 2028, and even 55-60% of the running back snaps and the bulk of the receiving work in what again projects to be one of the most high-powered offenses in the league could result in another RB1 finish, making him a smart buy at his current cost.
