From the episode
The problem is that that pass game usage is significantly higher than it has been in the past. The Rams have for years been one of the lowest teams when it comes to throwing to the running backs, and then this year Kyron Williams is getting a 14–15% target share week in and week out.
STACKED’s take
Kyron's target share surge from 14–15% weekly defied Rams' historical passing trends.
The source was moderately bullish on Kyron Williams early in the offseason but cooled on him as Blake Warren took on part of the backfield work in the second half of 2025, with the two becoming nearly even split on carries. The source projected a similar split for 2026, with Kyron getting most receiving work but losing rushing volume, making him an okay pick at his cost but not a great one. The source was mostly correct on the carry split, but significantly underestimated Kyron's pass-game usage. Kyron is now receiving a 14–15% target share week-to-week, significantly higher than the Rams' historical low rate of throwing to running backs. This elevated target share has transformed him from a high-end RB2 into a top-8 running back. The source attributes this to the Rams' offensive injuries requiring someone to step up in the pass game and potentially Matthew Stafford's declining arm strength causing him to check down more frequently.
