Should I start Kyren Williams or Josh Cameron in Week 9?
Updated Nov 3, 8:11 AM ET. Week 10 answers post Tuesday.
Start Kyren Williams: 66 percent of the snaps and 54 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against Josh Cameron's 39 percent of the snaps and 8 percent of the targets. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.

The gap
- Board size300 draftable players
Draft data is not current for these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out. The call above comes from each player's usage.
Where the draft room stands
Live drafts hold no current pick on Kyren Williams, and the board ranks him 66th overall on the rest of his evidence.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Josh Cameron, and the board ranks him 67th overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
The market-based projection for Kyren Williams is 5.1 PPR points a game off 1 market across 5 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
Josh Cameron's market-based projection is 4.1 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 11 market sources. That is the 47th highest figure of the 183 players with a market-based projection.
Kyren Williams's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
This season through Week 8
Through Week 8, Kyren Williams has been on the field for 68 percent of LAR snaps, taken 55 percent of the carries, drawn 14 percent of the targets and had 34 percent of the red zone chances.
He has taken 12 of the offence's 66 third down targets, had 8 of its 21 chances inside the five and seen 10 of its 39 two minute targets.
His 42 targets have averaged 2.5 air yards.
In Week 6 against ARI he carried 10 times for 50 yards, caught 3 of 6 targets for 17 yards and did not score.
In Week 7 against LV he carried 16 times for 99 yards, caught 2 of 2 targets for 22 yards and scored 1 touchdown.
In Week 8 against LAC he carried 16 times for 56 yards, caught 1 of 1 target for 3 yards and scored 1 touchdown.
Through Week 8, Josh Cameron has been on the field for 35 percent of JAX snaps, drawn 7 percent of the targets and had 6 percent of the red zone chances.
He has taken 2 of the offence's 48 third down targets, had 1 of its 16 chances inside the five and seen 3 of its 23 two minute targets.
His 13 targets have averaged 6.7 air yards.
In Week 5 against PHI he caught 3 of 6 targets for 43 yards and did not score.
In Week 6 against HOU he was not given the ball.
In Week 8 against IND he caught 0 of 1 target for 0 yards and did not score.
Their 2025 seasons
In 2025 Kyren Williams played 17 games and scored 263.3 PPR points, 15.5 a game, finishing RB9.
He carried 259 times for 1252 yards and 10 touchdowns, and caught 36 of 50 targets for 281 more yards.
That came to 15.2 carries a game at 4.8 yards a carry and 2.1 catches a game.
He was on the field for 68 percent of the snaps in the games he played.
Josh Cameron is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.
Side by side
Kyren Williams is a running back and Josh Cameron a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.
Byes and availability
Kyren Williams is off in Week 11 and Josh Cameron in Week 7, so either can cover the other's bye.
What would change the answer
Kyren Williams has only a partial projection, so the market half of this page is whole for only one of them.
