Others were more positive about this move, giving Kyren Williams his flowers.

"Holy s**t, great deal for the Rams," one fan wrote.
"Usually an enemy of RB extensions, but this feels really reasonable given what Saquon and Henry got," another fan added.
"Such a steal for the rams my god," another fan wrote.

Kyren Williams has improved his numbers year over year, going from 10 games played in 2022 to 16 in 2024. As a rookie, he tallied just 35 rushes for 139 yards before breaking out over the next two seasons.

Kyren Williams' fantasy outlook for 2025

Kyren Williams has solidified himself as one of the top running backs in the NFL over the past two seasons. Coming out of Notre Dame in the 2022 NFL draft, he was considered a lower-ceiling player as a late-round pick.

But he has since proven his value with his strong rushing ability, vision and red-zone efficiency.

Williams is the RB8 on Sportskeeda's RB Fantasy Rankings and No. 18 overall for the 2025 season, positioning him as a likely second- or third-round selection in most fantasy drafts.

The Rams have a renewed offense with Davante Adams joining Puka Nacua in the wide receiver room, but Williams also received help with the addition of Jarquez Hunter and Blake Corum.

He's still expected to carry the bigger workload for the Rams and lead them to another winning season.
