Running Back · Los Angeles Rams · Age 26 · Notre Dame · RB17 PPR (Week 4 2026)
Kyren Williams is ranked RB17 (overall #17) for the Week 4 of the 2026 NFL season in PPR fantasy football by Hayden of The Underdog Football Show.
This is the same split as usual. Williams loses snaps to Blake Corum, who is playing well himself, but he's predictably efficient on his looks while playing on an elite offense. He's the RB11 on RB17 usage this season and has beat his expected points in 6-straight games including the playoffs last year. Whenever the Rams are trailing (like last week), Williams can absorb receptions, too, providing him with one of the best floors in all of fantasy football. Here are his target totals in losses or OT games since 2025: 7, 3, 2, 5, 3, 6, 1, 10, 3 (average: 4.4). There was a fun cat and mouse game last week against the Broncos, when he had 7 targets. The Rams had two success quick outs from the slot to Kyren early, then on the Hufanga Pick 6, Kyren ran another slot out that Hufanga switched up coverage responsibilities on presumably from tape study. Of course, Kyren then ran a fake out later on for an explosive to counter that play. This is an example of how important LB/S coverage is in the modern NFL. This week, the matchup is a difficult but not impossible one. I've seen some weaknesses in Philly's defense on tape each week. Super star DT Jalen Carter isn't himself right now due to injury, they've missed DE Jonathan Greenard playing to his potential, and the spine of the defense isn't playing as well. Philly does drain the clock out on offense, however, so it's not a surprise to see the Rams projected for 23.5 points this week, far lower than their baseline.
