Kyren Williams 2026 Fantasy Outlook

Kyren Williams is the Los Angeles Rams number 23 running back, a 3-year pro, and finished the 2025 regular season as a solid mid-range fantasy option at his position. He averaged 14.4 fantasy points per game across 17 appearances, which ranks him 11th among running backs in our 2026 draft board. That per-game number is the starting point for every start or sit decision you make with him in 2026.

Kyren Williams finished 2025 with 1,252 rushing yards and 10 ground scores. He added 36 catches for 281 receiving yards, a meaningful passing-game role that lifts his PPR floor without making him a pure receiving back.

Kyren Williams profiles as a traditional early-down workhorse. When his team is ahead or in a favorable script, his volume is elite. When the game turns into a passing contest, his ceiling drops. Target him in spots where Vegas implies a positive script and his team is favored.
