Rams' Kyren Williams: Tallies 121 scrimmage yards, TD in win
Kyren Williams rushed 16 times for 99 yards and a touchdown and brought in both targets for 22 yards in the Los Angeles Rams' 35-21 win over the Raiders on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.Williams logged one fewer carry than Blake Corum but outgained his teammate by six yards, and although the former's lost fumble came at the Rams' 30-yard line, it didn't lead to any Raiders points. Williams scored his fifth rushing touchdown of the campaign on a 17-yard run late in the first half, and he fell a yard short of his first 100-yard effort of the season. Despite the division of labor in a game that yielded a run-friendly game script, Williams will remain the clear lead runner in a Week 8 home matchup against the Chargers next Sunday.

Rams' Kyren Williams: Season-low 13 touches in Week 6
Kyren Williams notched 10 carries for 50 yards and recorded three catches (on six targets) for 17 yards during Sunday's 18-16 defeat to the Cardinals.Williams' rush total represents a season low as he ceded nine carries to reserve RB Blake Corum. Additionally, Williams also didn't reach the end zone for only the second time in six games in 2026, while Corum recorded a TD for the second consecutive contest. Williams is nearly exactly doubling up Corum in terms of touches on the campaign (110 vs. 56), so he figures to be the better bet for a fantasy-relevant performance next Sunday in Las Vegas

Rams' Kyren Williams: Rush TD on inefficient night
Kyren Williams rushed 16 times for 49 yards and a touchdown and brought in six of eight targets for 27 yards in the Los Angeles Rams' 37-34 overtime loss to the Bills on Monday night.Williams operated as the clear lead back while outpacing Blake Corum by 11 carries, three receptions and four targets, but the former found running room at a premium against a Bills defense that's been surprisingly stout up front. Williams was able to add his fourth rushing touchdown on a dramatic one-yard run with five seconds remaining in regulation to help force overtime, and he's now recorded at least six catches in three consecutive games. Williams should remain in a clear lead role when the Rams host the Cardinals in an NFC West matchup Sunday.

Rams' Kyren Williams: Two late TDs in comeback win
Kyren Williams rushed 16 times for 80 yards and two touchdowns while catching 10 of 13 targets for 67 yards in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Eagles.Williams led the team in targets and catches, finishing with one more of each than Puka Nacua, though Nacua racked up 125 receiving yards in his return from a hip injury. Nacua also scored the Los Angeles Rams' first touchdown on a two-yard run, but Williams proceeded to score twice in the final four minutes of the fourth quarter, with touchdown runs of one yard and seven yards to complete the Rams' comeback. Backup Blake Corum had just six touches, so Williams is locked in as the primary backfield option for the Rams ahead of a Week 5 home game against the Bills.

Rams' Kyren Williams: Posts 158 total yards in loss
Kyren Williams rushed 15 times for 88 yards while catching six of seven targets for 70 yards in Sunday's 30-26 loss to the Broncos.Williams was far more effective than Blake Corum, who turned six carries and four targets into just 15 scrimmage yards. Williams' season-opening touchdown streak came to a halt at two games, but he has been one of the league's top all-around performers at running back in the early going, averaging 5.6 yards per carry while catching 11 of 12 targets and scoring a touchdown apiece as a rusher and a receiver. The Los Angeles Rams are off to a 1-2 start heading into a Week 4 trip to Philadelphia, so expect Los Angeles to continue leaning heavily on its top backfield option in an effort to avoid losing more ground in the NFC standings.

Rams' Kyren Williams: Scores receiving TD on efficient night
Kyren Williams rushed 12 times for 85 yards and brought in both targets for 12 yards and a touchdown in the Los Angeles Rams' 28-6 win over the Giants on Monday night. He also lost a fumble.Williams and backfield mate Blake Corum split the rushing workload right down the middle, and both backs were highly efficient. Williams added a 10-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter, but the talented veteran's lost fumble late in the first half on his own 11-yard line led to a Giants field goal. Williams has a rushing and receiving score apiece over the first two games heading into a tough Week 3 road matchup against the Broncos on Sunday night, although his timeshare with Corum does cap his outlook to an extent.

Rams' Kyren Williams: Records TD in Week 1 loss
Kyren Williams rushed 11 times for 41 yards and a touchdown and brought in all three targets for 24 yards during the Los Angeles Rams' 27-7 Week 1 loss to the 49ers in Melbourne, Australia.Williams worked in what was just one carry short of an even timeshare with Blake Corum in terms of rushing work, outpacing the latter by that one rush attempt and gaining 13 fewer yards in the process. However, Williams was the only one of the two to have a pass-game role, and he was the sole Rams player to cross the goal line in an alarmingly poor performance by the offense via a five-yard power run on the first play of the second quarter. It remains to be seen if the Week 1 division of labor will have staying power, with the next opportunity to see how matters play out coming in a Week 2 home matchup against the Giants on Monday night, Sept. 21.

Rams' Kyren Williams: Expected to be part of RB timeshare
The Athletic's Nate Atkins believes the Los Angeles Rams will continue to use a backfield timeshare with Kyren Williams and Blake Corum this season.Neither Williams nor Corum saw any action this preseason, as the Rams are notorious for resting their starters every summer, so it was difficult to get a clear picture of the backfield situation outside of practice. By all accounts, the Rams want to up Corum's usage after he saw double-digit touches once in the first six games of 2025, but seven times in the subsequent 11 regular-season contests. Working in Williams' favor, however, is coach Sean McVay's preference to use him near the goal line and on passing downs. Even with the talk of Corum getting more work, Williams appears to have a strong fantasy floor in one of the NFL's most potent offenses.

Rams' Kyren Williams: Impressing at training camp
Kyren Williams has been consistently finding holes through the defense at training camp, Brock Vierra of Los Angeles Rams Wire reports.Williams is set to share the backfield with third-year pro Blake Corum again in 2026, but that may be to his benefit if it helps him stay fresh as a dual-threat running back in the Rams' offense. The 25-year-old Williams surpassed 1,000 rushing yards for a third straight season in 2025, turning 259 carries into 1,252 yards and 10 touchdowns while also securing career bests through the air with 36 catches for 281 yards and three scores. Williams has been breaking loose for big runs in camp, showing his explosive ability as a runner, and he'll look to further elevate his numbers in Year 5 with Los Angeles.

Rams' Kyren Williams: Set to combine with Corum again
Following the Los Angeles Rams' offseason program, Kyren Williams and Blake Corum remain atop the RB depth chart, as was the case last season, Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports.During the 2025 regular season, Williams carried 259 times for 1,252 yards and 10 rushing TDs while adding 36 catches for 281 yards and three receiving scores in 17 games. In that same span, Corum rushed for 746 yards (on 145 carries) and six TDs and caught eight passes for 36 yards in his second campaign as a pro. Looking ahead, that 1-2 punch, which paced the league's No. 7 rushing attack last season, is intact for 2026, which sets Williams up for another year of fantasy utility. Beyond the Rams' top duo, Ronnie Rivers is back as the team's RB3, while Jarquez Hunter, Jordan Waters and Dean Connors round out the backfield depth chart ahead of training camp.
