The Rams take on the 49ers on Thursday Night Football in a divisional battle. Here are some Kyren Williams prop bets to consider at DraftKings Sportsbook.
Kyren Williams Prop Bets
Here are Kyren Williams’ current prop bet odds at DraftKings Sportsbook: o/u 71.5 rushing yards, o/u 1.5 receptions, and o/u 9.5 receiving yards. Williams is -180 to score a touchdown, +320 to score 2+ touchdowns, and +500 to score the first touchdown of the game.
Kyren Williams has become one of the most underrated running backs in the NFL. He ranks in the top five in the league in both rushing yards and rushing touchdowns. This will be Williams’ second-straight 1,000-yard rushing season, and he should go well over his totals from last year if he stays healthy the next few weeks. The Rams now rank 4th in rushing success rate this season. This is thought of as a pass-heavy offense, which it certainly is at times, but Williams plays a pivotal role in making this offense work.
The 49ers have issues on the defensive side of the ball, especially stopping the run. The 49ers rank 22nd in defensive EPA/rush and 28th in defensive rushing success rate. When these two teams faced off earlier this season, Williams got a massive amount of work. Williams had 24 carries, which he took for 89 yards and two touchdowns. The Rams have such a dangerous passing attack that opposing defenses need to respect, and that should open up space on the ground for Williams to have another good game.
My favorite prop bet for this matchup is for Kyren Williams to go over his rushing prop of 71.5 yards. Williams has cleared this number in four straight games, and comfortably cleared this number the last time he faced the 49ers. In the past, teams needed to be pass-heavy and aggressive to keep up with the 49ers’ offense. This is not the same 49ers’ offense as it was before. The Rams will now want to control the game, which will involve feeding Williams a lot of carries, just like they did in the first matchup. All of that should lead to Williams going over his rushing yards prop in this game.
Pick: Kyren Williams o71.5 Rushing Yards (-115)
