2024 Outlook from
Will he Continue to Operate as Rams’ Bellcow?
Kyren Williams went undrafted in many fantasy leagues a season ago. Rightfully so, as the former 5th-round pick played sparingly in his rookie season. Then he overtook Cam Akers in Week 1 of the 2023 season and it was off to the races. Williams led all running backs with an 83.9% snap share on his way to an RB2 finish on a per-game basis behind only Christian McCaffrey. Despite missing five games due to injury, Williams still managed to finish 4th in red zone touches with 60. It wasn't just volume for the 2nd-year back. He was also efficient with his opportunities. Williams was 8th in both true yards per carry (4.8) and evaded tackles (61), while finishing 13th in yards per touch (5.2). Had the Rams not used a Day 2 pick on a running back in the 2024 NFL Draft, most would consider Williams a sure-fire top-5 back. However, they took Michigan product Blake Corum with the 83rd overall pick, leaving some question marks regarding his workload in 2024. That said, Sean McVay has a history of trusting one back at a time, and right now, that's Williams. It will take some time for Corum to earn his trust, and thus, Williams should be viewed as a mid-range RB1 entering the 2024 season. Don't let draft capital scare you away from a good running back on a good offense.
