Jordan Mason vs Kyren Williams: Who Should You Start?
The numbers tell a clear story here. Kyren Williams put up 14.4 fantasy points per game for the Los Angeles Rams in 2025, while Jordan Mason managed 7.6 across 16 games with the Minnesota Vikings. A 6.8-point weekly edge is substantial at the running back position.
That 6.8-point weekly advantage for Kyren Williams is meaningful but not automatic. Fantasy football is a week-to-week sport, and the answer to "who should I start" often changes based on opponent, recent form, and game environment. Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.
Both profile as early-down workhorses. Jordan Mason ran for 758 yards and 6 touchdowns; Kyren Williams posted 1252 and 10. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.
Both share a Week 6 bye, which matters for roster construction. If you are stacking running backs this deep on your bench, plan your replacement running back early.
