The Los Angeles Rams backfield was a hot conversation in fantasy football this offseason. Kyren Williams was being drafted in the early or mid-second round in most leagues after his 2023 breakout, but he was also labeled by many as a regression candidate. The Rams drafted Blake Corum, they listed Williams as the punt returner, and Williams' 2023 breakout was largely volume-dependent.
But in Week 1, Williams was a total workhorse again. He racked up 18 carries and 3 receptions, playing a whopping 91% of the Rams' offensive snaps (for context, he played 82% in games when active last year). As for Corum? The popular 2024 breakout pick played 9 snaps in the game — and every single one of those was on special teams.
