BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB1
ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams had no expectations entering the year. The backfield belonged to Cam Akers. However, Sean McVay had different plans. The second-year running back had a massive workload in Week 1, totaling 15 rushing attempts for 52 yards and two touchdowns, scoring 17.4 half-point PPR fantasy points.
From that point forward, Williams has been Los Angeles’ RB1. He has 113 rushing attempts for 599 yards and six touchdowns. He also has 19 receptions for 166 receiving yards and three touchdowns this season. Unfortunately, the second-year running back missed four games with an ankle injury.
Williams returned from the injury last week against the Arizona Cardinals. The former Notre Dame running back had 16 rushing attempts for 143 yards. He also had six receptions for 61 receiving yards and two touchdowns, scoring 35.4 fantasy points in the win over the division rivals.
Meanwhile, Williams faces the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Cleveland’s run defense has struggled lately. Over the past three weeks, running backs have averaged 117.7 rushing yards, 1.3 touchdowns, and 23.8 fantasy points per game against the Browns.
