Fantasy Tiers

Kyren Williams: Tier 3 (Strong Starter) RB (ranked #11 at the position). Trey Benson: Tier 6 (Deep League) RB (ranked #46 at the position). Among the top 50 running backs this season, Kyren Williams is producing at 65% of elite pace and Trey Benson at 33%. That ranking gap means Kyren Williams carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

Kyren Williams vs Trey Benson: The Full Breakdown

Kyren Williams and Trey Benson are at different tiers heading into 2026. The Los Angeles Rams running back averaged 14.4 PPG in 2025, a full 7.2 points per game ahead of Trey Benson's 7.2 with the Arizona Cardinals. That kind of gap doesn't close on matchup alone.

Kyren Williams carries a 7.2-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; Trey Benson posted 160 and undefined. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.

Kyren Williams has his bye in Week 11, and Trey Benson 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.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

If you can acquire Kyren Williams at a discount because your league-mates undervalue running back production, do it. Trey Benson is a reasonable sell-high candidate if his recent games have spiked above his season average. Dynasty outlook: Kyren Williams (age 26) is approaching the age where RB production historically drops. Sell-high window is open. Trey Benson (age 24) has not yet hit the RB cliff. High dynasty ceiling if volume holds.
