Who Should I Start? Kyren Williams or Trey Benson

Friday, October 2, 10:30 PM

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams ranks as the overall RB11 in PPR leagues through the first three weeks of the season, but a Week 4 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles hurts his ceiling and floor in fantasy football. Williams has been a busy pass-catcher in addition to running the ball this season, and he's best known for his work around the goal line. As a result, we're not thrilled that he's facing an Eagles run defense that has allowed the fewest receptions and fewest receiving yards to running backs. This Philadelphia unit has also limited running backs to one rushing touchdown and zero receiving touchdowns through three games. Managers aren't benching Williams on the heels of his 21.8-point (PPR) performance, but it may be necessary to temper expectations at least a little given how well the Eagles have played against the run this year. He's still hanging around as the RB9 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy football rankings for Week 4.
