The Los Angeles Rams will visit the Carolina Panthers in Week 13. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding RB Kyren Williams.
Is Kyren Williams Playing in Week 13?
Williams is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Rams’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Williams in Week 13?
Kyren Williams runs hard (gain rate over 90% in two of his past three games and four times this season), but with limited explosion (this piece printed on the two year anniversary of his last 35+ yard gain) and just four catches over his past four games, there’s more of a floor to worry about than there is a ceiling to chase.
That’s not to say you bench him, but I’m not thrilled about chasing a touchdown given his cost in the DFS streets. Blake Corum is being used to get Williams a blow with a little more regularity this season than last and that lowers the projection by enough to land him outside of my top 12 this week.
