LAR RB Kyren Williams - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs Cleveland Browns

Kyren Williams returned with a bang last week. He picked up right where he left off in his return from injury. Williams went for 143 rushing yards and added six receptions, 61 yards, and two touchdowns as a receiver.

We have him as RB7 this week despite the tough matchup against Cleveland. We're only a few weeks removed from Jaylen Warren putting up 23.5 PPR Points on this defense on just 12 opportunities. The combination of Williams' workload and big play ability puts him as a must-start again in Week 13.

LAR RB Kyren Williams - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Arizona Cardinals

Kyren Williams is making his triumphant return to the lineup this weekend. Our projections have him at RB11 for this contest. His breakout season hit a road bump. Last we saw him, he topped 150 yards and found the end zone against this Arizona defense.

From the start, Sean McVay had asserted that he'd be back for Week 12 so it appears that his IR stint was plenty of time to get him back fully healthy and ready to pick up where he left off. Barring late surprise news, it's hard to imagine not inserting him right back into your lineups.

LAR RB Kyren Williams - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

Kyren Williams is expected to miss multiple weeks with an ankle sprain. There's some hope that he makes it back prior to the team's bye in Week 10, but it's unclear if that will happen at this point.

LAR RB Kyren Williams - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Arizona Cardinals

Kyren Williams continues to see nearly all of the work at running back for Los Angeles. His efficiency is questionable but as long as he keeps hitting an 80%+ snap share, it's going to be hard to sit him on your bench. He saw 15 opportunities last week and gets a matchup this week against a generous Arizona defense.

Williams is our RB11. As long as he's seeing this work, he'll continue to be a weekly starter.

LAR RB Kyren Williams - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Philadelphia Eagles

Kyren Williams is still getting a healthy majority of the running back touches for the Rams. He tallied 25 rush attempts on Sunday but did see a slight dip in his target rate. That seemed more game plan driven, though, since no other running backs really replaced that part of Williams' game.

The Eagles haven't allowed 15+ PPR Points to a single running back this season. Some of that is because of who they've faced. Washington and New England, for better or worse, have pretty evenly split committees. In fact, only three running backs have scored 20+ points on this defense dating back to the start of last year. It's a tough matchup, but you likely have to start Williams this week.

LAR RB Kyren Williams - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Indianapolis Colts

Kyren Williams has been woefully inefficient so far in 2023. We have him ranked as QB10 in our Week 4 projections but he's yet to crack 4.0 YPC in a game this year. Given that he's seeing all of the RB snaps, that hasn't been an issue yet. If that were to change, that could prove to be an issue.

He gets a matchup against a Colts team that has held opposing running backs under their expected rush yards the last two weeks. Running backs against Indianapolis have been inefficient to start the year as only Travis Etienne beat his rushing expectation. Williams is a must-start but keep an eye on his snap count moving forward.

LAR RB Kyren Williams - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. Cincinnati Bengals

Kyren Williams was one of the most sought after waiver targets once the news about Cam Akers broke. He's not a household name, but if the first week he got all of the work is any indication, he might be soon. Williams is all the way up at RB12 for Week 3 in our rankings.

He saw 14 carries and 10 targets in Week 2. Williams turned those opportunities into 100 yards from scrimmage and found the end zone once on the ground and once through the air. Given his role and the way that offense can flow through the running back position when it's clicking, he's a must start until further notice.
