Outlook: Gibbs was electric last season, none more so than his highlight reel 264-yard, three touchdown day in a win over the Giants in Week 12. But while that game showed that Gibbs has the ability to carry a team to victory, it was a microcosm of the inefficiency of the offense, and the struggles of the o-line.

Gibbs set a career high with 320 touches last season, but had 150 fewer total yards than his career year in 2024. He topped 75 yards on the ground only six times all year and was saved in PPR leagues by hauling in 77 receptions. Even with the periodic issues on the offense, Gibbs still managed a top-5 finish, and his 2025 season should be his floor this season.

With a new coordinator, upgraded blocking, and a clear and publicly expressed bellcow role in the offense, Gibbs is a candidate for 1st overall status. With Montgomery gone, and only washed-up Isiah Pacheco vying for touches, Gibbs could flirt with 375 touches as he fills a McCaffreyesque role for the Lions.

Outlook: Kyren Williams continues to be a reliable fantasy workhorse, as he turned in his third consecutive top-12 fantasy RB season in 2025. He delivered 1,252 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns on the ground, adding 36 receptions for 281 yards and three receiving scores. These numbers would typically make him a shoo-in as an RB1 for fantasy again this season, but there are concerns as the Rams did make an effort to preserve him by mixing in Blake Corum. While most of that work came between the 20s with Williams retaining his lock on the high-value touches, there is a legitimate concern that the Rams could opt to make this an even more evenly split backfield in 2026. While the reduction in workload may reduce his ceiling, it did seem to help his rushing efficiency, and it should give him a better chance to remain healthy throughout the season.

The 2026 outlook for Williams remains incredibly stable. The offensive scheme remains intact, and the offense should again be elite. Corum's presence will continue to cap Williams' ceiling, but Williams is the unquestioned lead back and primary goal-line option for an offense that led the league in scoring this past year. His floor is incredibly safe given his heavy usage in scoring position.

Draft Williams with confidence as a low-end RB1 or elite RB2 in the late second or early third round. He lacks the receiving volume to push for the overall RB1 spot, but his multi-year track record of double-digit touchdowns makes him a great fantasy asset.
