Kyren Williams fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 1 (2024). Should you start or sit Kyren Williams for fantasy football lineups? Justin Pottinger breaks it down.
ANALYSIS: Kyren Williams is a name to watch in the Rams backfield this season, offering intriguing fantasy potential as the year progresses. With his versatile skill set, Williams can contribute both as a runner and a pass-catcher, making him a valuable asset in PPR leagues.
As the Rams look to reestablish their ground game, Williams can carve out a significant role, just like last season. In 2023, Williams ran for 1,144 yards and 12 rushing touchdowns in just 12 games.
His ability to handle various tasks -- whether it's grinding out tough yards or catching passes out of the backfield -- positions him as a solid fantasy pick who could see his value rise as the season unfolds.
Kyren Williams had 260 touches last season (in 12 games)

Starting Kyren Williams in Week 1 against the Lions will pay off, as he has the potential to play a significant role in the Rams offense right out of the gate. The Lions defense has shown vulnerabilities against versatile running backs, particularly those who can contribute in the passing game, which plays into Williams' strengths.
With the Rams likely to use a committee approach with rookie Blake Corum, Williams’ ability to create plays in space and his prowess as a pass-catcher could earn him valuable touches.
The Lions defense, which struggled against dynamic backs last season, provides an ideal matchup for Williams to showcase his skills. This makes him a strong start for Week 1, especially in PPR formats. Williams is a must-start player for Week 1.
