Kyren Williams is poised for a significant role in the Los Angeles Rams' 2025 offensive scheme. Projected for 1,218.8 rushing yards and 11.3 rushing touchdowns, Williams is a key component in the Rams' playoff ambitions, with the team having an 83.1% chance of making the playoffs.
Williams' confidence in securing a contract extension is bolstered by his projected 1,400-1,500 total yards from scrimmage and 16-18 total touchdowns. His current contract negotiations, aiming for a potential three-year, $31 million deal, reflect his value despite the Rams' cautious approach due to past experiences with running back contracts.
For fantasy football, Williams is a strong second or third-round pick, especially in PPR leagues where he is ranked as the 13th best running back. His projected 221.6 total fantasy points make him a valuable asset, particularly given his dual-threat capability in both rushing and receiving.
