Kyren Williams

Kyren Williams continues to motor along with RB1 seasons. Last year, he was the RB10 in fantasy points per game after seasons as the RB10 and RB2 in fantasy points per game. Williams had to deal with more work for Blake Corum last year, but he still retained his lead role overall and in the red zone. In Weeks 7-18, Williams still saw 63% of the red zone rushing attempts while Corum helped him with the heavy lifting on early downs in between the 20s. With the workload lightened a tad, Williams did post improved rushing efficiency metrics, ranking 21st in explosive run rate, 25th in missed tackle rate, and 18th in yards after contact per attempt (per Fantasy Points Data). Williams should remain the lead back for one of the NFL's best offenses in 2026 and turn in another low-end RB1 season.

Kyren Williams rushed for 60 yards on 12 carries in the Rams 37-20 win over the Cardinals. He caught 3-of-5 targets for 21 yards.

Fantasy Impact

Williams and Blake Corum continued to split time in the backfield to close out the regular season. Both running backs have been effective in that role this season, so the Rams will likely continue that throughout their playoff run.
