Should You Start or Sit Kyren Williams in Week 7?
This offense is at some risk if we assume that Puka Nacua sits (17 points against the gutted Ravens last week was proof of as much), but we know that Kyren Williams will get his 15+ touches while being heavily featured in scoring situations, and that’s plenty to lock him into lineups.
He’s scored four times over the past four weeks and has had multiple receptions in five straight. The explosive plays may be few and far between, but Williams is picking up at least five yards on 41.1% of his carries this season, up from 36.4% in 2021, and enough to help him have access to an elevated floor.
He’s one of the least likely backs in my top 15 this week to give us a top-3 week, but the role in the red zone and my confidence in Matthew Stafford moving this offense in an efficient manner gives him a better chance to finish with a top-20 week than most in this tier.
