Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams is coming off a disappointing fantasy performance, but he'll have an opportunity to bounce back during Sunday's Week 13 contest against the Carolina Panthers. Williams had just 12 carries for 46 rushing yards in his last outing against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, struggling to maintain efficiency against a strong run defense while also losing some opportunities to Blake Corum. While Corum remains a thorn in his side for Week 13, he should improve his yardage and scoring efficiency. After all, the Panthers have allowed the seventh-most fantasy points, eighth-most rushing yards, and eighth-most rushing touchdowns to opposing running backs in 2025. Williams ranks as the overall RB10 in RotoBaller's fantasy rankings ahead of his matchup against Carolina.

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams has been quite productive lately, racking up impressive efficiency and touchdown numbers. Over his last three games, he has four total touchdowns and is averaging a whopping 5.5 yards per carry. He'll have an opportunity to build on this streak during Sunday's Week 12 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs have allowed the ninth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs, with a large chunk of that productivity coming in the passing game. Tampa Bay has also surrendered the most receiving yards to running backs this season. While Williams is more of a rusher than receiver, he could capitalize on a favorable opportunity to contribute in the receiving game, all while maintaining strong efficiency and scoring tendencies on the ground. He enters this week as the overall RB11 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy rankings.

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams scored his fourth rushing touchdown in the past three games in their 21-19 win over the Seattle Seahawks in Week 11. Williams was efficient with 91 rushing yards on 12 carries to go with one reception (two targets) for five yards. The 25-year-old has had a standout season as a big piece of the Rams' high-powered offense and again ranks as one of the best backs in fantasy. Williams isn't known for his explosive rush ability, but he ripped off a few in this game, including his longest run of the season with a 34-yard gash in the first quarter. It was a tough matchup on paper against a Seattle defense that entered the day ranked third in yards per carry allowed (3.7), and the Rams didn't have their best offensive performance, but Williams still came through for fantasy managers.

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams is preparing for one of his toughest matchups of the season as he faces the Seattle Seahawks in Week 11. The Seahawks have been very strong against the run, allowing the fewest rushing yards, third-fewest rushing touchdowns, and seventh-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2025. Those figures don't bode well for Williams, who, despite ranking as the overall RB9 in PPR leagues with 4.5 YPC, has been forced to share some of his volume with Blake Corum. Seattle can severely limit running backs' efficiency, so handling a heavy dose of touches is Williams' best chance of slowly racking up yardage and perhaps getting an extra chance to break off a big run. With Corum as a persistent thorn in his side, Williams' rushing upside is significantly lower. With that all being said, Williams could make a significant impact as a pass catcher. The Seahawks have allowed the second-most catches and the third-most receiving yards to running backs this year. Even if Williams' rushing upside is limited, he could still salvage his fantasy performance with a productive day as a receiver. Managers can continue to deploy him as a fringe top-12 running back in fantasy football.

Dynasty | Rams running back Kyren Williams had 73 rushing yards, two catches, 11 receiving yards, and two touchdowns in a win against San Francisco. Dynasty Analysis: He had 14 carries and Blake Corum had 13, which is a little concerning. Still, Williams has a nose for the end zone and smelled it twice in this one. He might be a bit of a "sell high" in dynasty leagues based on the emergence of Corum but his ADP and ranking seem pretty secure at the moment.

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams has seen a reduced role in the backfield this season. Despite that, Williams continues to find ways to succeed, which he did once again on Sunday. Williams rushed 14 times for 73 yards and scored two touchdowns in the win over the San Francisco 49ers. He has now scored three touchdowns over his last two games. The biggest downside is that Williams continues to split up the backfield duties with Blake Corum. The Rams might need to rely on Williams more heavily next weekend in what could be a high-scoring affair against the Seattle Seahawks.

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams remains a must-start fantasy option in Week 10 against the San Francisco 49ers as he looks to build on a successful first half of the 2025 season. Williams has 586 rushing yards, 166 receiving yards, and six touchdowns so far, ranking as the overall RB13 in PPR leagues. On paper, a matchup against the 49ers could pose a challenge for running backs, as San Francisco ranks near the middle of the league in fantasy points allowed to the position. They've also surrendered the seventh-fewest rushing touchdowns to running backs. However, Williams didn't see that level of shutdown defense when the 49ers faced the Rams in Week 5. During that matchup, the 25-year-old had 14 carries, 65 rushing yards, eight catches, 66 receiving yards, and two receiving touchdowns. His 32.1 points (PPR) represented a season-high. Williams will look to repeat his success against a banged-up 49ers defense this week, and he should continue to be deployed as an RB1 in most leagues.

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams wasn't involved in the passing game at all on Sunday, but he was efficient on the ground in the team's 34-10 victory over the visiting New Orleans Saints in Week 9. Williams had some nice volume in this one, handling a season-high 25 carries for a season-high 113 rushing yards and his third rushing touchdown of the year. It was the 25-year-old's first 100-yard rushing game in 2025. Williams hasn't been all that explosive on the ground for the Rams this year, but it was nice to finally see him top the century mark in a plus matchup with a positive game script all day. The former fifth-rounder has been more of an RB2 for fantasy managers this year in a Rams offense that prefers to air it out with the arm of quarterback Matthew Stafford. Still, Williams should be considered a must-start in a big Week 10 divisional contest next Sunday versus a banged-up San Francisco 49ers defense.

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams will look to bounce back as the team returns from its bye week. This week, the Rams take on the New Orleans Saints, who have struggled on both sides of the ball. This matchup comes at a perfect time for Williams, who was relatively quiet in the Rams' win over the Jaguars prior to the bye. This was a direct result of Los Angeles taking an early lead and leaving a reduced workload for several starters, but it still hurt his fantasy performance nonetheless. Although a matchup against the Saints could put Williams in a similar situation, we can't ignore how poor the New Orleans run defense has been. The Saints are allowing the seventh-most rushing yards to opposing running backs in 2025, putting Williams in a position to feast if he handles at least 15 touches or so. The 25-year-old is a fantasy RB2 with RB1 upside.

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams has scored a touchdown in back-to-back games and will look to extend his streak against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 7. The 25-year-old has a firm grasp on the lead-back role in Los Angeles, handling 39 touches over the last two games compared to Blake Corum's six. Williams has been efficient on the ground with 4.4 yards per carry and has also taken on a bigger receiving role with 10 catches and two receiving touchdowns over his last two games. The Jaguars rank near the middle of the league in terms of fantasy points allowed to running backs, so we don't expect Williams to run into any challenges that he can't handle. He remains a high-end RB2 for Week 7.
