Should You Start or Sit Kyren Williams in Week 2?
Last week, Kyren Williams scored, got 20 opportunities, and played in a favorable game script.
You were rewarded for playing him, but I can’t help but think that you’re going to have a hard time paying off the price you paid for him on draft day when all is said and done this season.
Williams doesn’t have a 20-yard run, despite all of the volume you could ask for, since November and he doesn’t have a run longer than 30 yards since the November before that.
Let me put that a different way.
Since Week 13, 2024: 3rd in carries, not one of 25 players with a 21+ yard run
Since Week 13, 2023: 2nd in carries, not one of 78 players with a 31+ yard run
He averages under two catches per game for his career and has underwhelmed on a yards per carry in two of three seasons (3.7 YPC on Sunday has me thinking he’ll make it three of four).
So yes, he scores touchdowns and that’s great. But what happens if the offense fails to move the ball? He’s not going to land a haymaker from distance and if he’s held out of the end zone, he falls from RB19 to RB33 in Week 1.
I intentionally have zero shares of Williams, but if I had him and could get running backs drafted in his general range (Bucky Irving, James Cook, or Omarion Hampton), I’d jump without thinking twice.
