Expert takes

Kyren Williams
  • “The Rams will see more favorable game scripts moving forward, which could benefit Corum on early downs, but Williams has been efficient on the ground and is clearly the preferred back on passing downs. The Rams have been near the bottom of running back target share in each of the last six seasons but rank ninth this season, which is unlocking another level for Williams. The start of every season brings questions about Williams’ role, yet he continues to churn out RB1 production in the Rams’ elite offense.”

    Chad Workman· Oct 6, 2026
  • “Kyren Williams is an RB1 Kyren piled up 158 scrimmage yards on 21 touches against DEN, including six catches for 70 yards. Blake Corum finished with eight touches for 15 yards. We can live with Corum getting a few carries when Kyren is contributing this much as a receiver.”

    Chris Cash· Sep 28, 2026
  • “Kyren Williams has appeared to be the lead back for the Rams; however, Corum is only one rush behind him while having a higher yards per carry. Corum, ranked RB27, and the Rams will travel to the Mile High City to square off against the Broncos defense who have given up the fourth most rushing yards in the league. There is a clear path for both RBs to have success, and Puca possibly sitting out could lead to some additional touches.”

    Peter Kettering· Sep 24, 2026

  • “Kyren Williams is the other running back under 220 pounds who reached the 300-carry threshold in 2023.”

    Curtis Hirsch· Sep 2, 2026
  • “Of course, Sean McVay’s love for Kyren Williams is well documented.”

    Kyle Lesti· Aug 31, 2026
  • “Corum carries massive upside if Kyren Williams misses any time and could even work his way into FLEX consideration in the right matchups.”

    Colt Williams· Aug 21, 2026
  • “Kyren Williams remains one of the most reliable running backs in fantasy football. He had 1,252 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns last season.”

    Mike Fanelli· Aug 12, 2026
  • “The Rams have one of the most prolific offenses in the NFL, and Williams handled 63% of the red zone rushing attempts last year. Williams has been an RB1 for three years running, and yet he is in a tier with guys who are RB2’s.”

    Jason Kamlowsky· Aug 11, 2026
  • “In 2025, however, Williams started to see his role reduced with backfield mate Blake Corum earning more touches. In 2023 and 2024, Kyren Williams had Opportunity Shares of 78.4% and 82.8%.”

    Wyatt Bertolone· Aug 3, 2026
  • “If we do see some natural regression and balance in passing-to-rushing scores, Kyren Williams should be the bet to benefit. Williams played 69.2% of the snaps in the red zone and out-touched Blake Corum 58 to 26 in that area.”

    Rich Hribar· Jul 24, 2026
  • “Kyren Williams slotted behind Omarion Hampton and only barely ahead of Jeremiyah Love is, frankly, scandalous. Williams is entering his age-26 season, so he certainly isn’t cooked.”

    FantasyPros Staff· Jul 23, 2026
  • “Round 3: Kyren Williams (RB – LAR) Kyren Williams was the counter-pick, a player who’s kept sliding further down draft boards each offseason despite finishing as a top-10 running back in fantasy points per game last year. Much of the hesitation traces back to a well-known backfield split with a rookie teammate, but the full-season split was closer to 65-35 in Williams’ favor, not the even split many assume.”

    FantasyPros Staff· Jul 20, 2026
Lamar Jackson
  • “Jackson, 29, has missed games due to five different injuries (two ankle issues to go with knee, hamstring and back problems) since 2021. He also did not look himself for a while following the 2025 hamstring issue, and the Ravens needed Huntley — brought back because of Cooper Rush ’s struggles in the QB2 role last season — again when Jackson sustained the back injury late last season. Although Jackson’s injury issues bring obvious concern given his play style, the Ravens armed their top player with extraordinary leverage this offseason by restructuring his deal .”

    Sam Robinson· Oct 10, 2026
  • “Lamar Jackson | QB, Baltimore Ravens (OUT) Lamar Jackson is recovering from an ankle sprain that has been described as “neither low nor high.” Timelines for recovery have been all over the place, but a one or two-week absence appears to be the consensus. Tyler Huntley is the backup and will step in for Jackson.”

    Jonathan Lange· Oct 10, 2026
  • “Ravens Ravens QB Lamar Jackson is the focal point of OC Declan Doyle ‘s offense, with HC Jesse Minter noting that he and Jackson were looking forward to working together as a group.”

    Wyatt Grindley· Sep 27, 2026
See 10 more
  • “In both of his matchups with the Cowboys, Jackson has run for 181 yards and a TD.”

    Julia Papworth· Sep 25, 2026
  • “Lamar Jackson has a massive ceiling in what projects to be a high-scoring matchup against the Cowboys. Dallas was getting torched by Jayden Daniels before he went down with an injury, which bodes well for Jackson’s outlook in this spot. With his ability to make plays through the air and on the ground, Jackson has the potential to put up a monster performance here.”

    Frank Ammirante· Sep 25, 2026
  • “But Jackson has looked far more like his electric self at the start of this season than he did in 2025. By the end of the season, he should be right up next to (OK, maybe behind) Allen as a top-tier fantasy quarterback.”

    Ted Chmyz· Sep 23, 2026
  • “Unfortunately, Jackson had arguably his worst season as a starter in 2025. He missed four games because of injury and played part of the year hurt. The superstar finished as the QB14 on a points-per-game basis among qualifying quarterbacks, averaging 19.8 fantasy points per contest. However, I expect a bounce-back season for Jackson, especially with Declan Doyle taking over as Baltimore’s offensive coordinator.”

    Mike Fanelli· Aug 16, 2026
  • “If Lamar Jackson can bounce back, Henry could inch back closer to his 2024 production (RB4 in fantasy points per game).”

    FantasyPros Staff· Aug 5, 2026
  • “With plenty of time to recover from last season, Jackson is a ticking time bomb for fantasy production.”

    Ellis Johnson· Jul 23, 2026
  • “Jackson's 2025 performance was marred by injury and a subpar level of play (by his standards). Therefore, while he has tremendous leverage by virtue of the restructure and the $84.34MM cap number it created for 2027, he may want to come to the negotiating table on the heels of a better season.”

    Rory Parks· Jul 12, 2026
  • “Jackson mentioned that Doyle is running a completely different system from what Todd Monken deployed last season, while there are some concepts from what Greg Roman ran in 2022. Jackson expects more "explosiveness" this season, and Doyle is proving to be a very creative playcaller. "I feel like there's going to be a lot of explosiveness this year," Jackson said. "The way Declan calls plays and his creativity with his mind — how detailed he is — it's mind-blowing. I'm excited."”

    Tony Camino· Jul 10, 2026
  • “It was only a season ago that we saw Jackson finish as the QB1 with 425 fantasy points. That was his second time surpassing 400 fantasy points, a threshold that Allen has never exceeded.”

    Ellis Johnson· Jul 10, 2026
  • “Over his final eight starts, Jackson was the QB29 in fantasy points per game (11.9). He completed just 57.6% of his passes (28th) with 7 touchdowns and 6 interceptions. He had the highest inaccurate throw rate in the league over that span (15.8%).”
