Kyren Williams Week 13 Outlook - Seahawks at Rams

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Dec 1st 2022, 1:05pm EST

Williams assumed the clear lead-back role last week. He played 70% of the snaps with 14 touches and 60 total yards. He only saw three targets but logged a 70% route run rate which is awesome. Williams' 2.84 yards after contact per attempt and 54.7 PFF elusive rating are solid but not spectacular. Seattle has toughened up some against the rush. Since Week 7, they are third in rushing success rate but 22nd in rushing yards per game and 20th in explosive run rate. They remain dreadful against receiving backs ranking 32nd in DVOA with the sixth-most receptions and second-highest yards per reception allowed. Williams is an RB3 who could easily finish with RB2 numbers this week if Perkins feeds him some more dump-offs.
