ESPN Fantasy Football on Kyren Williams
From the article
Williams has 16 receptions for 137 yards on 20 targets the past two weeks. That is clearly new and important, and perhaps not a fluke. This year, he is pacing toward 89 receptions for 735 yards. He is already at 25 targets in four games, after earning 50 targets in 17 games last season!
STACKED’s take
Williams' receiving volume surge positions him for career-best season, outpacing McCaffrey.
Williams entered 2026 having surpassed 1,100 rushing yards in three consecutive seasons with 13+ total touchdowns each year and top-10 fantasy finishes, yet went 14th at his position in ESPN ADP. He is pacing toward 1,250 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns on 230 carries, but the key shift is receiving volume: he has 16 receptions for 137 yards on 20 targets in the past two weeks after earning only 50 targets in 17 games last season. He is pacing toward 89 receptions for 735 yards this year (25 targets in four games), a career trajectory change. If receiving work continues, Williams may deliver his best season yet, producing 2025 McCaffrey-like numbers (1,985 yards and 17 scores projected) while outscoring McCaffrey by roughly four fantasy points per game this year.
