Kyren Williams is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for running backs. Target him as a free agent add off waivers for Week 9 of the 2022 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 46% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Williams accumulated 2,799 total yards during his final two seasons at Notre Dame, and Los Angeles traded up for the opportunity to seize him during last April’s NFL Draft (164th overall). The 5’9”, 195-pound Williams was placed on injured reserve after he sustained an ankle injury in Week 1 but he could soon secure a sizable role in the Rams’ restructured backfield.
The anticipation surrounding Williams' potential emergence has intensified due to Cam Akers’ unresolved career freefall. Akers has not been involved in Sean McVay’s attack since Week 5, and the prospects of Akers being traded are looming. Darrell Henderson has accumulated 16 carries and 59 rushing yards during Akers’ absence while Malcolm Brown has also been entrusted with 12 attempts while generating 25 yards.
However, Williams possesses the ability to function as a three-down back, and he could garner an integral role during the Rams’ upcoming matchups. He remains available in 54% of all leagues and should be stashed by anyone who can comfortably locate a roster space.
