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.

Kaleb Johnson Will Hope For More Opportunities Against Seattle

Friday, September 12, 10:25 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kaleb Johnson was hardly involved in his regular-season debut and will likely operate as the team's RB3 again this week against the Seattle Seahawks. Fantasy managers who drafted Johnson with high expectations must exercise patience with the rookie if they plan to keep him rostered. Johnson played just two offensive snaps last week and primarily operated as a kick returner. However, his utilization could see an uptick soon if Kenneth Gainwell continues to struggle with inefficiency as he did in Week 1. For the time being, Johnson is a bench stash with the potential to serve as a complement to Jaylen Warren later in the season. He should not be considered in fantasy lineups on Sunday.
