Two RB3 performances, one RB2 performance, nine RB1 performances. The Kyren Williams breakout last season left fantasy owners absolutely scooping up fantasy titles across the board. And yeah, he missed a little bit of time in the middle of the season and was banged up for week 18, but Kyren Williams was fantastic when he was on the field last year. He was the perfect mixture of a running back that offers a nice floor because of the volume that they get and the upside because of the efficiency in which they work, which is really, really tough to find these days.
But Kyren Williams is also a true RB1. Sean McVay last season gave him the workload. If he was on the field, he was the guy getting 70-80% of the backfield touches. They wanted the ball in his hands. And yeah, they drafted Blake Corum this year, but realistically, I don't think that that's big of an issue. Maybe we see him drop down to 65-70% more consistently of the RB touches, but that's still plenty because of his efficiency to be a top 10 running back the majority of the time and hopefully keep him a little bit healthier.
We'll see how things play out this season, but I am not passing on Kyren Williams anywhere. The efficiency is just way too good that even if he does lose a substantial amount of touches to Blake Corum, at worst you're looking at a really, really safe RB2. Kyren Williams is a really great investment this year, and I am investing in him anywhere that I can.
