Declining goal-line role and McVay's pass-averse scheme make Williams a third-round fade.

Kyren WilliamsRBLAR

The source is completely out on Williams despite RB15-RB16 ADP, citing declining goal-line role (53% inside the five in year 2 to 38% in year 3 vs. Blake Corum's ascent), minimal passing-game work in Sean McVay's scheme (which historically avoids checkdowns to RBs), and lack of explosiveness limiting touchdown upside. His 13 touchdowns last year were touchdown-dependent; without closer proximity to the goal line, scoring will regress. The source calls him a glaring fade and potentially the most overvalued player in the third round.

Source transcript excerpt
I'm completely out on Kairen this year. His ADP is wild to me...this is a Shawn McVey offense. He does not throw to running backs...I'm getting out of the Kairen Williams business. Uh he is a glaring fade to me.
