Kyren Williams vs RJ Harvey: Who Should You Start?
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. RJ Harvey (Denver Broncos) came in at 10.8 PPG over 17 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.
Kyren Williams carries a 3.6-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.
RJ Harvey is the receiving back in this matchup, turning 47 targets into 356 yards, while Kyren Williams profiles as a more traditional rusher with 1252 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns. In PPR and half-PPR formats RJ Harvey carries the higher weekly floor. In standard leagues the gap tightens considerably.
Kyren Williams has his bye in Week 6, and RJ Harvey rests in Week 14. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at running back for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
