Kyren Williams's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams rushed for 76 yards on 16 carries during Monday's Wild Card win over the Minnesota Vikings. He also caught all three of his targets for an additional 16 yards and one touchdown through the air. It was another productive showing for the Rams' workhorse running back as he found the end zone for the third consecutive game. He finished 2024 as the overall RB7 in PPR leagues, achieving that mark for the second season in a row. Williams should continue to be treated as a premier option in fantasy and gambling circles, especially after Blake Corum (forearm) was placed on injured reserve last week.

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams was the focus of the Rams' offense over his last five games of the season, and he'll return to action on Monday against the Vikings after getting a week off in Week 18 to rest for the postseason. Williams scored six rushing touchdowns in his last six games, averaging 91.5 rushing yards on 20.8 carries per game. The Rams relied on him to control the clock and their defense to make big stops as they won five in a row and secured the division crown. Williams will have to carry a heavy workload again on Monday, especially with his backup Blake Corum (arm) done for the year. He'll face a very tough Vikings' run defense that allowed the second-fewest rushing yards and fourth-fewest yards-per-carry in the NFL this season. Running backs did score six touchdowns against them in the last two weeks, though, so there is some hope that Williams can overcome the matchup. He has a high floor based on his volume, but the matchup lowers his ceiling despite his very successful season.

The Los Angeles Rams will rest running back Kyren Williams for the Week 18 regular-season finale against the division-rival Seattle Seahawks at Sofi Stadium on Sunday, according to head coach Sean McVay. The Rams are prioritizing rest for their best players this weekend despite the fact that they could slip to the No. 4 seed in the NFC for the playoffs if they lose to Seattle and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the New Orleans Saints. With Williams sitting the final game of the regular season out, rookie Blake Corum should get all the backfield touches he can handle on Sunday with backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo running the offense. The Rams' offense is unlikely to be as efficient without their top weapons, but for the volume alone, Corum has easy RB2 upside. Williams finishes his third season in the NFL with a career-best 1,299 rushing yards and a career-high 14 TDs on 316 carries over 16 starts.
