Josh Jacobs or Kyren Williams?
Josh Jacobs or Kyren Williams? Both are RBs. Here is what each man's 2025 season was actually built on, updated Aug 17, 2026.
Josh Jacobs's edge sits in receiving expected points added — efficiency rather than opportunity, and the file measures that as the less repeatable half.
Kyren Williams leads on share of his team's offensive snaps and rushing attempts, and also on rushing yards over expected and rushing yards over expected per attempt — one side of that is opportunity, the other is efficiency, and they have not historically travelled together.
Figures are 2025 verified play-by-play (nflverse); scored Half-PPR. Repeatability is measured from year-over-year persistence across 2016 to 2025, not projected. Muffed publishes no projections, draft grades or start/sit advice.

What repeats
Josh Jacobs's edge sits in receiving expected points added — efficiency rather than opportunity, and the file measures that as the less repeatable half. Kyren Williams leads on share of his team's offensive snaps and rushing attempts, and also on rushing yards over expected and rushing yards over expected per attempt — one side of that is opportunity, the other is efficiency, and they have not historically travelled together. Of the two, Kyren Williams's season rests on the steadier ground. That is a statement about what each man's production was built on, not a running order — and it is a description of 2025, not a forecast of 2026.
