Kyren Williams Fantasy Football Ranking & Analysis: Is the Rams’ New Lead Back Worth a Shot?

Is Los Angeles Rams’ running back Kyren Williams worth a fantasy football waiver wire pickup for Week 13? Let’s take a look at the Kyren Williams fantasy football ranking & analysis after the back received a significant uptick in playing time last week.

Kyren Williams Fantasy Football Ranking & Analysis

Kyren Williams ranks as the No. 31 running back on the board for Week 13 in our Stokastic weekly running back rankings. In our free player compare tool, Williams projects out at 10.21 points against the Seattle Seahawks.

The Rams installed Williams as their primary back after releasing Darrell Henderson prior to their Week 12 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Williams appeared in 70% of the team’s offensive snaps in that game, carrying the ball elevn times for 35 yards. He added three receptions in the 26-10 loss.

“He is a playmaker,” Rams head coach Sean McVay said of Williams via SI. “He’s a guy that I really have a lot of confidence in. But he’s yet to play in an NFL game other than kinda the one kick return against Buffalo where he gets rolled up on.”

Kyren Williams injured his ankle in Week 1 and remained out until Week 11. Despite the injury plagued season he’s been earning the trust of McVay, who clearly lost confidence in both Cam Akers and Henderson as the season has gone on. Williams was highly regarded for his blocking ability along with his play-making prior to being selected in the 2021 NFL Draft after playing for Notre Dame.

Williams will likely have the opportunity to carve out a role for himself the rest of this year while the Rams (3-8) are likely to miss out on the postseason. His performance should be important for his future playing time chances in the 2023-24 season and beyond.

If Kyren Williams is available in your league, be sure to pick him up and expect him to be getting more opportunities for the remainder of the season. He should hold value this season and in dynasty formats.
