Kyren Williams vs Rhamondre StevensonWho should you start in 2026 fantasy football?

Kyren Williams is the better fantasy start for 2026, averaging 14.4 PPG to Rhamondre Stevenson's 11.6 in 2025. Full head to head breakdown below.

The Bottom Line

Kyren Williams is the better fantasy play this season.

Kyren Williams has the edge, but it is not a runaway. The 2.8-PPG advantage is real (14.4 to 11.6), and Kyren Williams's 13 touchdowns show scoring upside. Rhamondre Stevenson is the buy-low candidate if recent production has dipped, because the talent gap is smaller than the numbers suggest.

Moderate confidence: stats favor the leader, but matchup variance could flip this weekly.

Fantasy Tiers

Kyren Williams: Tier 2 (Strong Starter) RB (ranked #11 at the position). Rhamondre Stevenson: Tier 3 (Flex/Starter) RB (ranked #22 at the position). Among the top 50 running backs this season, Kyren Williams is producing at 65% of elite pace and Rhamondre Stevenson at 53%. That ranking gap means Kyren Williams carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

Kyren Williams vs Rhamondre Stevenson: The Full Breakdown

Two running backs who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. Kyren Williams (Los Angeles Rams) finished the 2025 season averaging 14.4 fantasy points per game in 17 games. Rhamondre Stevenson (New England Patriots) came in at 11.6 PPG over 14 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.

Kyren Williams carries a 2.8-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.

Both profile as early-down workhorses. Kyren Williams ran for 1252 yards and 10 touchdowns; Rhamondre Stevenson posted 603 and 7. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.

One thing to note: both players share a Week 11 bye. That means you need a backup plan at running back for that week, especially if one of these two is your starter.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Both are in a similar trade value range. A straight swap would be fair in most leagues, with the tiebreaker going to whichever manager values schedule or bye week more. Dynasty outlook: Kyren Williams (age 25) has not yet hit the RB cliff. High dynasty ceiling if volume holds. Rhamondre Stevenson (age 28, 4 years) is past the typical RB peak. Redraft value exceeds dynasty value.
