Kyren Williams May Face Reduced Role in Rams Offense in 2026

Rams RB Kyren Williams may see a diminished workload amid Blake Corum’s emergence, potentially lowering his fantasy upside for 2026

Kyren Williams in a Timeshare in Rams' Backfield?

The Athletic's Nate Atkins writes that Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams and Blake Corum will be "in a timeshare of carries," with Ronnie Rivers serving as a versatile special-teams player who is adequate as a rusher, receiver, and pass protector. Williams is still the clear lead back in L.A. and is coming off his third straight 1,000-yard rushing season in 2025 in which he ran for 1,252 yards and 10 touchdowns on 259 carries, adding a career-high 36 receptions for 281 yards and another three TDs as a receiver in 17 regular-season starts. Corum could have an even bigger role alongside Williams, though, after the Rams used the two more interchangeably down the stretch in 2025. The 26-year-old Williams will continue to be utilized near the goal line and as a pass-catcher, but it could be a much tougher ask for him to finish as a top-12 fantasy back in 2026. If you can get Williams as a high-end RB2 in upcoming drafts, you will be looking good at the RB position. But if you are forced to use Williams as your RB1, you could be worse off than with a highly productive running back in one of the best offenses in football

Blake Corum Listed as Backup Behind Kyren Williams in Unofficial Depth Chart

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum was listed as the backup to Kyren Williams on the team's unofficial preseason depth chart. Corum had a strong second season in 2025, totaling 746 rushing yards and six touchdowns in 17 games, while adding only 36 receiving yards on eight catches. Although Corum and Williams split work late last season, the team left the veteran back as the RB1, with Corum as the RB2. While the unofficial depth chart isn't a definitive indicator of the team's backfield plans, it does support the Rams' belief in Williams, who recorded over 1,500 yards and 13 touchdowns in 2025. Corum is currently ranked RB32 in RotoBaller's positional rankings, which may be too high a price if he sees a workload similar to last season

Dean Connors Shines as Receiver in Pro Debut

Los Angeles Rams running back Dean Connors rushed for 22 yards on six carries during Saturday's preseason contest against the Kansas City Chiefs. He also caught all four of his targets for an additional 29 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns. Throughout his collegiate career at Rice and Houston, Connors' top trait was his ability to catch passes and produce as a receiver. Over his last three NCAA seasons, he had a whopping 139 catches, 1,142 receiving yards, and eight touchdowns. He had at least 1,000 scrimmage yards in each of those three seasons, and he totaled 30 touchdowns during that span. While Connors may not be the most efficient runner, the undrafted free agent may be able to sneak onto the back end of the Rams' roster because of his pass-catching skills. Ronnie Rivers and Jarquez Hunter represent his biggest competition for the No. 3 running back role behind Kyren Williams and Blake Corum

Kyren Williams Still Boasts RB1 Upside Despite Falling Draft Cost

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams has been a top nine fantasy finisher in each of the past three seasons, but even with the Rams having the league's highest projected scoring total for 2026, he is currently being drafted as the RB12, routinely falling out of the second round. Concerns of Blake Corum's late-season emergence have created a worst-case timeshare scenario in many drafters' minds, seemingly overlooking the fact that as Corum came on as the RB17 over the final six weeks of 2025, Williams still saw featured back usage and finished as the RB10 over the same stretch. Williams could see a dip in total touches, but as the superior receiver and more efficient goal-line back, he should retain his most valuable work, and he remains one of the league's safest bets to reach a double-digit touchdown floor. Yet to turn 26, Williams still has obvious RB1 upside but is often available closer to an RB2 price point

Kyren Williams Is a Dynasty Buy, Not a Redraft Bargain

Kyren Williams, RB for the Los Angeles Rams, is presented as a dynasty buy despite sharing work with Blake Corum. Williams recorded 1,252 rushing yards, 36 catches, and 13 touchdowns last season. While Corum handled 145 carries and played 30.5% of snaps, Williams maintained his lead role and is signed through 2028. His dynasty value is seen as a buy at RB16, whereas his redraft value at RB14 is considered fair due to Corum's earned workload, though Williams still possesses RB1 upside

Running Backs Out of Nowhere | Who Could Shake the Cuffs & Become League Winners?

There’s a long history of afterthoughts getting an opportunity and becoming league winners at running back. It can happen because of an injury to the guy in front of them. Other times, an offense needs a spark. Whatever the case, rostering those players before they become valuable can be the difference between winning a title and falling short. Below, I highlight 10 backup running backs worth targeting late in seasonal drafts. If things break their way, there is a path for each guy to become a weekly difference-maker in 2026. If the offseason reports are to be believed, then Blake Corum might be more than your average backup in 2026. Last season, the former Wolverine played 28.9% of the snaps. That could jump to 40-45% this season, as rumors of a near-even carry split between Corum and starter Kyren Williams continue to persist like clockwork. If that happens, Corum would have a weekly FLEX appeal. In 2025, while rushing for 746 yards and six touchdowns, he averaged 5.1 yards per carry (YPC). Corum also ranked second among all ballcarriers in Explosive Play Rating (122.9), fifth in EPA (+20), and 14th in juke rate (24.8%). Give him the ball, and good things happen. Blake Corum ‘s 2025 EPX Outside of his standalone value, Corum carries immense contingent upside if Williams misses any time. He’d be ranked as an RB1 any week he was projected to get the bulk of the work. You never want to forecast injuries, but that’s just one more reason Corum is an intriguing target once you get outside the top 30 running backs. Fun fact: Tyrone Tracy Jr. has averaged 10.7 fantasy points per game in each of his first two NFL seasons. He’s been consistent, averaging 790 rushing yards, 37 receptions, 286 receiving yards, and five touchdowns per season as a pro. Tyrone Tracy’s Seasonal Stats Those are solid RB3 or FLEX numbers in their own right. But Tracy could play a larger role in 2026 as the Giants ease Cam Skattebo back from a broken tibia and fractured ankle. Should the second-year back suffer any setbacks — or miss any other time, which is a very real possibility, given his reckless play style — Tracy would be the featured back. Tracy is a player no one seems to be talking about, yet he has the potential to put up big-time numbers should anything happen to Skattebo, who plays the position like an enraged bighorn sheep. Because of that, fantasy managers would be wise to take a swing on Tracy in the double-digit rounds. Apparently, this is the summer of Jonathon Brooks . Even though he hasn’t played a snap in nearly two years because of back-to-back ACL tears, Brooks is already being drafted ahead of teammate Chuba Hubbard in some big-money leagues. I understand wanting to find an edge against the competition, but this feels a wee bit aggressive. Brooks is a complete mystery box at this point. He has just 12 touches as a pro under his belt and essentially only 10 games of collegiate production, which came during his junior year at Texas. That said, Hubbard was among the least efficient and least explosive backs in football last year. If Brooks looks like the same player we saw in 2023 — when he amassed over 1,400 total yards — then it might not take much for him to overtake Hubbard and seize the RB1 role. just traded the 2.02 for 2.10 + jonathon brooks pic.twitter.com/f59lW5prga — The Podfather (@Fantasy_Mansion) April 5, 2026 If he does that, that’s certainly a scenario where Brooks could smash down the stretch. But with so much being unknown, be wary of his price in drafts. He’s a fun click to gamble on, but only if the cost stays relatively cheap. Like Tracy Jr., Dylan Sampson is backing up a teammate who’s coming back from a brutal lower-leg injury. Quinshon Judkins broke his fibula and dislocated his ankle in Week 16 last year. He looked spry in minicamp, but what if he suffers any setbacks? Dylan Sampson ‘s Advanced Metrics Enter Sampson. The 21-year-old only rushed for 175 yards as a rookie, but he showed he can be a d [... truncated ...]
