In another piece of running back news confirming what we’ve been anticipating, it seems like RB Blake Corum isn’t here to outright steal Kyren Williams’ job despite conspiracy theories in the fantasy community suggesting just that. The whispers got louder earlier in the offseason once a report came out that Williams was tending to a foot injury that was likely to sideline him for most of spring OTAs, but the sentiment seems to remain the same heading into the summer that Williams is the guy to lead the Rams backfield. Grosbard made specific note to mention that Sean McVay ‘loves’ Williams while also speculating that the Rams may have drafted Corum as a Kyren Williams ‘clone’ to preserve consistency in the offense should Williams be unable to stay healthy in 2024. Williams missed four games in 2023, which wasn’t disastrous – however, fantasy managers will likely be keeping a close eye on the Rams RB to ensure that he won’t require frequent maintenance in the form of missed games/walked back workloads. Williams should be treated as a very solid RB1 with high-end RB1 upside as we’ve been treating him this offseason, while Corum remains a priority handcuff given Williams’ less than spotless, but still not troublesome injury history.
