Who Should I Start? Kyren Williams or Zach Charbonnet

Saturday, December 6, 9:50 AM

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams remains the primary option out of the team's backfield, but his floor has declined with the emergence of Blake Corum. Offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur recently noted that allowing Corum to spell Williams more often has allowed the latter running back to stay fresh over the course of the whole season, and that trend should continue as the playoffs get closer. Managers shouldn't be surprised to see Williams finish with around 15 touches per game while Corum handles roughly seven to 10. With that said, Williams does remain a low-end RB1 in fantasy football, largely due to his ability to catch passes and score touchdowns. He has 24 receptions and 10 trips to the end zone so far in 2025. That bodes well for his outlook in Week 14 against the Arizona Cardinals, who have allowed the 10th-most fantasy points and second-most receiving touchdowns to opposing running backs in 2025. While Williams is no longer the high-end RB1 that managers consistently depended on when he was handling north of 20 carries per game, he's still a top-12 fantasy running back for the rest of the season. Specifically, he ranks as the overall RB10 in RotoBaller's fantasy rankings for Week 14.

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet has been a touchdown machine this season. He has a great chance to score in Week 14 against an Atlanta Falcons defense that is No. 24 against opposing running backs in fantasy. The Seahawks should be able to move the ball on Sunday. When this team finds itself close to the end zone, there is a good chance that Charbonnet is going to receive the ball. Charbonnet's eight touchdowns in 2025 already match his career high from a season ago. When he scores, he delivers flex value for fantasy football. With the Falcons deploying a weaker defense against opposing running backs, Charbonnet may even find running room outside of the red zone. If Charbonnet can turn in a relatively efficient game and find the end zone, you will be happy in fantasy. As usual, Charbonnet is a risky play. However, his touchdown upside in Week 14 is high if you need a starter.
