Rams RB Kyren Williams carried 16 times for 80 yards and a pair of rushing scores in Sunday's win over the Eagles. More surprisingly, he led the team in targets (13) and catches (10), tying for second among Rams with 67 yards. Blake Corum carried five times for just 14 yards (2.8 per rush) and caught one of 2 targets for 7 yards. He saw dramatically less playing time than usual.
Just a week after splitting carries with Blake Corum in an even 12-12 split, Williams handled 65.2% of the Rams’ rush attempts. He accounted for 15 carries on his way to 88 rushing yards while adding 6 receptions on seven targets for 70 yards. The fifth-year RB finished Sunday night with 15.8 PPR points, ranking as an RB1 pending Monday Night Football.
ESPN's Dan Graziano believes Rams RB Blake Corum is in line for more work this season. Corum's workload grew over the second half of last year, though he still trailed Kyren Williams in a 60/40 split. Graziano believes that gap could narrow to 50/50 in 2026.
Rams RBs Kyren Williams (ankle) and Blake Corum (ankle) are active for today’s game vs. the Cardinals. Both guys were listed as questionable. We’re expecting the Rams to go all-out to win this one and lock up the NFC’s No. 5 seed, so Williams and Corum figure to play their usual roles.
Rams RBs Kyren Williams (ankle) and Blake Corum (ankle) are listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Cardinals. Williams got in three limited practices, and HC Sean McVay said Friday that he “feels good” about Williams’ status for this one. Corum looks much iffier after only getting in a limited practice on Friday. We’ll look for more updates on this backfield but won’t get Los Angeles’ inactives until a little before 3 pm ET on Sunday.
The Los Angeles Rams rolled up 530 yards of offense, including 249 yards on the ground, in their 45-17 Week 14 demolition of the Arizona Cardinals. Blake Corum led LA's backfield, rushing for a career-best 128 yards and 2 TDs. Despite splitting carries with Kyren Williams, Corum has rushed for 209 yards and 3 TDs in his last two games, cementing his status as one of the top players to add for the fantasy playoffs.
Rams RB Kyren Williams injured an ankle in the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Panthers and is officially questionable to return. His absence will put RB Blake Corum in a feature role. RB Ronnie Rivers is also active for Los Angeles. RB Jarquez Hunter is a healthy scratch today.
Update: Williams returned for the start of the second half.
Rams RB Kyren Williams watched his offense gain 333 net yards and tally 34 points in a home win over Tampa Bay. The 25-year-old wasn’t a main contributor, though, mustering only 46 yards on 12 attempts. He caught one pass for 2 yards.
Rams RB Blake Corum (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. He tried to battle through this injury last week but didn't play much in the second half. Corum's absence vs. the Jaguars this weekend would leave rookie Jarquez Hunter as Los Angeles' No. 2 RB -- and likely mean a bigger role for RB Kyren Williams.
Rams RB Blake Corum hit the field on the team's second series in Thursday night's game vs. the 49ers. He took his first carry for a nice 13-yard gain up the middle. On the next play, Corum was unable to secure a pitch from QB Matt Stafford, resulting in a lost fumble. He played just four more snaps the rest of the night, one of which ended with an ugly drop.
If you worried about Rams RB Kyren Williams' role coming out of Week 2, then Week 3 proved that you should stop. He collected a season-high 20 carries for 94 yards in the narrow loss at Philadelphia, adding 2 receptions for 18 yards and a TD among three targets.
The Rams scored a pair of rushing TDs in Sunday's win over the Titans, and neither came from Kyren Williams. Puka Nacua ran one in from 45 yards out, because he's simply a monster. Blake Corum scored the other from a yard out midway through the fourth quarter. Corum totaled five carries for 44 yards in the game.
Rams RB Jarquez Hunter is a healthy scratch for today's opener vs. the Texans. It's confirmation that Blake Corum is the No. 2 RB and preferred Kyren Williams handcuff. Cody Schrader is active as the Rams' No. 3 RB.
Rams OC Mike LaFleur said Wednesday that he'd like to divvy up the work more this season between RBs Kyren Williams and Blake Corum. "It benefits everyone to make sure that you’re not just wearing someone down or overusing somebody," LaFleur said. "The plan is to split those up a little bit and distribute, whether it’s the run or the pass game, and making sure people are involved within the scheme."
Rams QB Matt Stafford has been setback-free since returning to practice a little over a week ago and is on track to play in the opener against the Texans, according to HC Sean McVay. “I can’t see into the future. But if you look at what the last week has entailed, I feel really good," McVay said. "And there’s nothing that would lead me to believe, unless we have an unforeseen setback, that he’s not gonna be ready to roll against the Texans."
Rams QB Matt Stafford threw more than 60 passes on Saturday without limitations, HC Sean McVay said. “Looking forward to progressing him back into practice on Monday," McVay added.
