Kyren Williams, 26 years old, exemplifies the successful youth-at-running-back strategy that worked in fantasy last season; he is part of a cohort of younger backs (Bijan Robinson, Jahmyr Gibbs, De'Von Achane, James Cook III, Chase Brown, Javonte Williams, Ashton Jeanty) who delivered strong fantasy results, supporting the case for prioritizing youth over aging veterans at the position.NegativeValueJul 31, 2026

Williams remains the lead back after posting 1,533 total yards, 13 TDs and 15.5 fantasy PPG last season, even with Blake Corum taking on more work. The Rams ranked second in run block win rate and eighth in pass block win rate last season, with Rob Havenstein's retirement being significant but Warren McClendon playing well enough to keep this group in the top tier. Williams remains the priority and an excellent value in drafts.
