What Did Kyren Williams Do In Week 3?
Last week, Kyren Williams posted rather disappointing results against the Bengals. After finding the end zone twice in Week 2 against the 49ers, he was held to 38 rushing yards on 10 carries in Week 3. He caught just two of his seven targets for 27 yards. But Williams played every single offensive snap for the Rams, which is part of why his fantasy stock is so high. He's the unquestioned lead back right now for the Rams.
Kyren Williams Running Back Rankings Analysis
Williams is the No. 7 RB in RotoBaller's Week 4 PPR rankings.
| Player | Position Rank | Overall Rank | Tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kyren Williams | 7 | 19 | 2 |
This makes him an RB1 play this week according to RotoBaller's rankings team. He is trending up this week vs. where he was in Week 3's rankings.
Should I Start Kyren Williams In Week 4 Fantasy Football?
Availability and opportunity are two of the most important things when figuring out a player's fantasy value. Kyren Williams has both of those things going for him. As mentioned above, he played every snap for the Rams in Week 3, and in Week 2 he played 95% of them. Since moving on from Cam Akers, Williams has been the only running back in the Rams rotation. Ronnie Rivers has played four offensive snaps over that span.
This week, Williams faces the Colts. Indianapolis has been solid against the run, allowing the 10th-fewest rushing yards per game to opposing running backs. That makes it unlikely for Williams to have a huge performance, but his volume makes him a low-end RB1 play. Since he's always on the field, he's always a threat to get into the end zone.
