Kyren Williams is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for running backs. Target him as a free agent add off waivers for Week 11 of the 2022 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 42% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Kyren Williams was activated from injured reserve just one day before the Rams’ Week 10 matchup with NFC West rival Arizona, and he made his debut against the Cardinals.
Williams played on 35 snaps and led the backfield in targets (three), receptions (three), and receiving yards (30). He was also limited to nine rushing yards with his only carry.
The Los Angeles backfield has been impacted by unresolved issues and underwhelming performances and there is nothing within the current state of this unit that should prevent Williams from securing an increasing role during the upcoming weeks
Cam Akers and Darrell Henderson both carried six times but combined for only 43 rushing yards in Week 10. Akers’ numbers remain uninspiring from Weeks 1-10 (62 rushing attempts/176 rushing yards/2.8 yards per attempt/1.5 yards after contact per rush), while Sean McVay has demonstrated his reluctance to deploy Darrell Henderson as the team’s unquestioned feature back (7.6 attempts/2.4 targets per game).
Williams can generate yardage as both a rusher and receiver and his three-down capabilities could propel him into a significant role. That provides the rationale for stashing him this week.
