Kyren Williams, with double-digit rushing touchdowns in each of the past three seasons, is going early in Round 5 in ESPN leagues. Perhaps Williams can sustain his production even as Corum continues to ascend, but it is likely Williams will take a statistical step back.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Williams' declining volume and Corum's ascent suggest RB2 regression risk.

Williams is flagged as a regression risk despite strong touchdown production. He has 44 touchdowns in the past three seasons and is going early in Round 5 in ESPN leagues. However, his volume took a dip in 2025, and backup Blake Corum averaged 5.1 yards per carry in his second NFL season. It is likely Williams will take a statistical step back as Corum continues to ascend. The recommendation is to be careful about assuming Williams is a safe RB2 option again.
