Kyren Williams 2025 Fantasy Football Outlook: His Backfield To Lose
Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams has been one of the more consistent fantasy options in recent years. After finishing as the RB7 in PPR formats in 2023, many fantasy managers believed another top-10 running back finish was not possible. He was set to return punts, and the Rams selected Blake Corum in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft. However, Williams showed last year that this is firmly his backfield. The 24-year-old ran 316 times for 1,299 yards and 14 touchdowns across 16 games. Those strong numbers helped him finish as the RB7 in PPR formats for the second consecutive year. Meanwhile, Corum only saw 58 opportunities on the ground in his rookie season. Therefore, this will be Williams' backfield once again. He saw at least 18 carries in 10 of 16 games and averaged just over 17 PPR fantasy points per game. Now, fumbles remain a huge problem for the Pro Bowl running back. He fumbled six times throughout the 2024-2025 season. But if he hangs onto the ball and doesn't turn it over as much, this is his backfield to lose. That makes him a strong RB1 option once again this year.
