Quick Facts

Position: RB

Bye week (2026): 11
FantasyPros PPR rank (pulled 2026-05-21): 48

2026 Outlook

Williams enters 2026 off a career year: 1,299 rushing yards and 14 TDs, coming with RB coach Ryan Gould returning for his fourth season and continuing his central role in McVay's run-heavy packages. Continue elite efficiency trends or decline amid regression risk. McVay's 2026 offensive staff remains largely intact (Scheelhaase promoted to OC from pass-game coordinator; Kingsbury arriving as assistant HC), favoring stable play-caller environment. Receiving upside: caught 68 passes in 2024 and remains in McVay's favor for checkdown-heavy game script. (per Rams' 2026 coaching staff set)

Role / Depth Chart

Starting RB in a committee for the Rams. Ryan Gould's return as RB coach stabilizes his role. Continued high snap share in McVay's 13-personnel and 21-personnel sets, where Gould's coaching has kept Williams productive. FantasyPros ranks him RB48, suggesting mid-range back2 value heading into 2026.
