The Los Angeles Rams are entering the season with a potential shift in the backfield workload between Kyren Williams and Blake Corum. While Kyren Williams remains the primary starter to open the campaign, internal projections suggest the team plans to increase carries for Blake Corum. Analysts have noted that the distribution of touches could transition toward a 50-50 split as the year progresses. If Blake Corum continues his performance from the second half of the previous season, he could emerge as the lead back. Long-term roster management also remains a consideration, as the team balances salary cap allocations for multiple core players. The development depends on whether Blake Corum closes the gap in pass protection while maintaining his efficiency as a runner.
