Kyren Williams checks in at No. 89 on NFL Top 100 Players of 2026 list

Kyren Williams will enter the 2026 season with another league-wide acknowledgment, landing at No. 89 on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2026. The ranking, which is determined through player voting, places Williams among the league’s most recognized impact performers heading into the new year.

For Williams and the Rams, the placement is notable not only for what it says about his standing among peers, but for the pattern behind it. Los Angeles reported that this marks Williams’ third consecutive appearance on the NFL Top 100, extending a run of recognition that keeps him on the national radar year after year.

The NFL Top 100 Players list has become a yearly reference point for how teams and fan bases evaluate current production and overall reputation. Because the voting comes from players, the framework is different from coaches’ film-based assessments or media rankings, with current teammates and opponents effectively weighing in on who they believe can change games.

Williams’ No. 89 spot also fits the broader idea of where franchises are building their attention on offense. The Rams, whose offensive identity includes weaponry designed to create space and generate yards after contact, view their running back as a central piece of that plan. By appearing consistently on the Top 100, Williams’ role is being validated beyond the stat sheet, at least as measured by league-wide respect.

Still, the ranking’s meaning is contextual. A Top 100 placement is not a guarantee of statistical output or team success, and it does not replace the realities of a full season where game plans, health, and matchups can alter production. It does, however, serve as an early snapshot of how players around the league view Williams’ caliber and reliability.

For Rams fans, the next practical question is how that reputation translates once training camps and the regular season begin. With Williams again recognized among the league’s top tier of players, his development and usage will be worth watching, especially in how Los Angeles balances his workload with the rest of its offensive rotation.

Across the league, the Top 100 list continues to set the tone for offseason conversations around who matters most right now. Williams’ third straight appearance at No. 89 gives the Rams a steady point of emphasis as they approach 2026, and it raises expectations that his influence will remain visible to opponents even as defenses adjust.
