BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 29% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Kyren Williams carried 415 times while accumulating 2,127 rushing yards and 27 touchdowns during his final two seasons at Notre Dame. He also collected 77 receptions and generated 672 receiving yards during that sequence, and the Rams traded up to secure him in Round 5 of April’s NFL Draft (164th overall).
Williams sustained a broken foot in June, then suffered a high-ankle sprain during the team’s season opener. He remains on injured reserve but should eventually surface in the Rams’ backfield rotation. This will provide the 5’9”, 195-pound Williams with an opportunity to display his capabilities as both a rusher and pass-catcher.
The extraction of Cam Akers from the backfield equation has positioned Williams to commandeer an ongoing role within the reshaped Los Angeles rotation, as Sean McVay should adjust the percentage of carries that are distributed within the backfield when Williams becomes available.
Once Williams has been designated to return from injured reserve that will launch a 21-day window for the promising newcomer to be activated. This supplies the rationale for adding Williams this week before a larger percentage of fantasy managers become focused on seizing Williams for their rosters.
