Who Should I Start? Kyren Williams or RJ Harvey

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams is planning to be a full participant in practice amidst ongoing extension negotiations with the team, according to Cameron DaSilva of Rams Wire. Previous reporting had indicated that Williams was a candidate to "hold-in" during training camp, but it appears that will not be the case. Williams turns 25 in August and is entering the final season of his four-year rookie contract. He played 16 games for Los Angeles in 2024, logging 316 carries for 1,299 yards and 14 touchdowns. Williams also added 34 catches for 182 yards and two receiving touchdowns. He has dominated running back carries for the Rams in each of the past two seasons. An extended absence during training camp may have altered that, but it appears Williams is opting against that approach as he seeks a long-term commitment from the team.

Denver Broncos running backs RJ Harvey and J.K. Dobbins have been "routinely shuffling in with the first-team offense" in camp, according to Nick Kosmider of The Athletic. Denver drafted Harvey in the second round of the 2025 draft out of UCF, while Dobbins was a late free-agent addition after spending 2024 with the Los Angeles Chargers. Kosmider notes that Harvey has had impressive moments and showcased his explosiveness in camp, but has also had some struggles in pass protection. Last year at UCF, Harvey rushed for 1,577 yards and 22 touchdowns, with 23.3% of his carries going for 10 or more yards. Dobbins has battled injuries throughout his career, but he managed 905 yards and nine touchdowns on 195 carries in 13 games as a Charger in 2024. The two backs are sure to share touches to some degree this season, but the exact nature of their workload split is one to monitor throughout the preseason.
