PROJECTED POINTS: 16.1
Michelle: It turns out Kyren Williams fantasy managers were a bit too worried about the prospect of rookie Blake Corum stealing the RB1’s work — Williams played 91 percent of the Rams’ offensive snaps in Week 1, while Corum didn’t get a single rep on offense. Last season, Williams was one of the most elite fantasy backs, scoring more than 16.1 points in nine of 12 games played, including six of his last seven contests.
In a tough Week 1 matchup, Williams scored just 14.4 fantasy points against the Lions’ stout defensive line, but he will see a much more friendly front this Sunday. The Cardinals allowed the Bills to record 130 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns against them in their 2024 season opener, after yielding the most rushing yards and most fantasy points to the RB position in 2023. Williams scored 38.4 and 21.8 fantasy points in his two matchups against Arizona last year.
