The Los Angeles Rams will face the Buffalo Bills in Week 14. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding RB Kyren Williams.

Should You Start or Sit Kyren Williams in Week 14?
Williams ran for a season-high 104 yards against the Saints on Sunday and ran for his 10th score, but the passing game involvement has evaporated (one target over the past three weeks) and the splash plays are non-existent (zero gains of over 30 yards on his 248 touches this season).
I’m willing to overlook the early usage of Blake Corum last week (by “overlook,” I mean “not adjust my Week 14 rankings” — I’m very much going to be tracking usage patterns this weekend) and am cautiously hopeful that Williams can showcase improved efficiency in this matchup against a defense that allows the fifth-most yards per carry before contact to running backs.
Buffalo is willing to give up production on the ground, as they will bet on their efficiency over yours so long as they can limit the number of splash plays. We know we are going to get 15-20 touches from Williams — the difference between him finishing as the RB7 and RB17 is in him finding the end zone against the fifth-best defense in terms of rushing TD rate allowed to opposing running backs.
It’s Cooper Kupp or nothing for me when it comes to the Rams for the Week 14 DFS main slate.
