Kyren Williams paired 1,252 rushing yards with 10 rushing touchdowns, and his 5 of 5 schedule rating strengthens the case.
What 2026 looks like
Williams built one of the cleaner measured profiles in this group. Across 17 games, he turned 259 carries into 1,252 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns. His 4.83 yards per carry paired volume with efficiency, while 36 catches for 281 yards kept him involved beyond handoffs. A 68% snap share wasn't overwhelming, yet the production within that share was substantial. Los Angeles (NFC) received strong rushing output without needing him on nearly every snap. The honest caution is that his season totals don't show how his touchdowns or carries were distributed, so the season total supports his value more clearly than it defines week-to-week consistency.
Schedule and cost pull Williams in opposite directions. A 5 of 5 schedule rating gives him an easy draw, and his bye lands in week 11. Meanwhile, drafters select him 13 spots earlier than his consensus rank of 42 overall. The board still places him RB15 in tier 5 despite his 1,252 yards, 10 rushing touchdowns, and 4.83 efficiency. Paying the market price means trusting that the favorable schedule and proven rushing line can support another valuable season. The measured evidence is stronger than for many nearby backs, but a 13-spot premium leaves less room if his 68% snap share or touchdown output slips.
