Rams, Kyren Williams Agree to Three-Year Extension

Tuesday, August 5, 12:05 PM

The Los Angeles Rams and running back Kyren Williams agreed to a three-year, $33 million extension on Tuesday, including $23 million in guarantees, according to agents Drew and Jason Rosenhaus. Williams gets rewarded with a new deal after topping 1,000 yards rushing in each of the last two seasons with the rams. Last year in 16 regular-season starts, the 24-year-old had a career-high 316 carries for 1,299 rushing yards and a career-best 14 rushing touchdowns, adding a career-high 34 receptions on 40 targets for another 182 yards and two scores. The numbers were great for fantasy purposes, but Williams wasn't as efficient as his Pro Bowl season in 2023, and second-year RB Blake Corum could see more involvement in 2025. It will be hard for Williams to ever be as efficient as he was in 2023 if Corum becomes more involved. He's on the RB1/2 borderline in RotoBaller's rankings.

Malik Nabers Returning to Practice

Tuesday, August 19, 1:05 PM

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (back, shoulder, toe) will return to practice on Tuesday and do some things, according to Evan Barnes of Newsday. It sounds as though Nabers will be pretty limited in his return to the practice field, but it's still good news for the 22-year-old with the 2025 regular season quickly approaching. Nabers has been battling a toe injury since his college days at LSU, and he also suffered a shoulder injury this summer before recently coming down with a back issue. While it's certainly something to watch, none of his three injuries are considered serious or anything that will keep him from suiting up for Week 1 of the regular season on Sunday, Sept. 7, against the division-rival Washington Commanders. Nabers caught an impressive 109 passes for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns as a rookie and is strong WR1 target in fantasy.
