Who Should I Start? Kyren Williams or Tucker Kraft

Friday, December 20, 9:37 PM

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams has had a quality season. He's already gone for over 1,000 yards on the ground while also combining for 14 touchdowns. Although the 24-year-old has averaged only 4.0 yards per carry, fantasy managers have been pleased with his production. With Los Angeles looking to make the playoffs, Williams and company will meet the Jets in Week 16. New York has allowed 23.2 points per contest this season, which isn't the most efficient mark in the National Football League. However, the Jets have surrendered only nine rushing touchdowns during the 2024-25 campaign, which isn't good news for Williams, who has relied heavily on his ability to find the end zone for most of his fantasy production. Still, the 24-year-old is one of the best backs in the league, so he remains a must-start in Week 16.

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft had his worst fantasy performance in the past four games and looks to right the ship against the New Orleans Saints in Week 16. Kraft has been a solid tight end option for fantasy managers this season but laid an egg last week as he caught both targets for just 34 yards against the Seattle Seahawks. With Romeo Doubs making his return from concussion protocol, the pass-catching group got a bit more crowded with Doubs adding back into a group that features Kraft, Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, and Dontayvion Wicks. Not only that, but Jordan Love and the Packers have featured the run game more prominently. Kraft is going to have to make his opportunities count when he gets them, but he has an excellent matchup with the Saints on tap as the Saints are a middle-of-the-pack defense against fantasy tight ends on the season. Consider Kraft a low-end fantasy TE1 for Week 16.
