| 0:00.0 | When you're drafting running backs in fantasy football this year, you want to make sure that you're avoiding these five running backs. |
| 0:05.0 | Otherwise, you might regret wasting that pick. |
| 0:06.8 | Because the five guys in this video have some serious red flags. |
| 0:09.7 | And I helped over 10,000 people win their leagues last year alone. |
| 0:13.1 | And I want to help you with this video right now. |
| 0:14.8 | And we have to start with the Los Angeles Rams and a guy who has been a beast in fantasy football the last one to two years. He's been a league winner in the past in Kyram Williams. |
| 0:22.8 | And now look at this. |
| 0:23.5 | Really, ever since he won the job two years ago from Cam Acres early on, |
| 0:27.2 | and he ended up breaking out at over 21 fantasy points to number two running back. |
| 0:30.7 | Last year, he had another 16 touchdowns, a top 10 running back in back-to-back seasons. |
| 0:34.8 | Like everything has been great. |
| 0:36.3 | He has been a cheat code running back in back to back seasons. Like everything has been great. He has been a cheat code running back. He's been a guy who two years ago was contributing both touchdowns and also |
| 0:41.5 | receptions. And this past year, very quietly, according to player profiler, led the NFL amongst |
| 0:46.0 | running backs in red zone touches. His targets or his receptions and carries in the red zone, |
| 0:50.5 | 77, 12 goal line carries as well. I mean, this guy, when you have that type of usage, |
| 0:55.0 | it's really hard to ignore. If you're going to score 10 to 12 plus touchdowns, |
| 0:58.6 | you're obviously going to finish highly in fantasy. But here's the problem with that. |
| 1:01.6 | Everything that has made Kyra Williams valuable in the past, having a workhorse role, |
| 1:05.7 | seeing receptions, red zone usage, it's all kind of up in the air this year. Let's start with the efficiency. Back in 2023, Kyram Williams was explosive. He was averaging five yards per carry, top 10 in |
| 1:14.9 | juke rate, top 15 in yards per touch. But then in 2024, he fell to just four yards per carry. |
| 1:20.0 | He was 47th in yards per touch and 35th in explosive play rate. He kind of just fell off a cliff |
| 1:25.3 | in terms of efficiency. So much so that Kyrim Williams had just six breakaway runs. |
