Rams split carries between running backs Kyren Williams and Blake Corum
Summary

The Los Angeles Rams opened the 2026 season with an even distribution of carries between running backs Kyren Williams and Blake Corum. Williams recorded 11 carries for 41 yards and one touchdown while adding three catches for 24 yards. Corum finished with 10 carries for 54 yards on the ground but did not receive any targets in the passing game. This division of labor reflects the team's offseason plan to expand the role of Corum within the offense. While Williams retains a higher fantasy floor due to his involvement in goal-line and receiving situations, the committee approach complicates individual output for both players. Managers will monitor if this split continues throughout the season as the Rams navigate their backfield depth.
