Rams extend RB Kyren Williams

Adam Grosbard on X

The Rams have agreed to a three-year extension with RB Kyren Williams, a source confirms.

Related players: Blake Corum, Jarquez Hunter

Fantasy Impact:

As Grosbard went on to say, the Rams lock in a key culture piece and their workhorse back for the long term. The initial numbers indicate the deal is worth $33 million with $23 million guaranteed according to Pro Football Talk. Williams' workload has been doubted for a couple of years now, but he continues to prove everyone wrong. He survived the drafting of Corum last season and must do so again with the addition of Hunter. The only thing that gives us pause is Williams' propensity to fumble the ball. He had five fumbles last year and three the year before, but in the season after the Rams drafted Corum, Williams handled a career-high 350 touches for 1,481 total yards and 16 touchdowns. Corum only averaged 3.6 yards per carry, so he didn’t do anything to justify a lead-back role in 2025. We rank Williams 12th among our RBs and it looks like he can be had in the early to mid third round of drafts.

Rams RB Kyren Williams reports to camp

Though Kyren Williams and the Rams have been discussing a potential new contract, the running back won’t stay away from training camp.

Via multiple reporters on the scene, Williams has reported with the Rams’ other veterans on Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact:

Williams (25) is entering the last year of his deal. He's been a true bell cow over the last several seasons, surging to a fantasy RB1, despite the team drafting Corum last season. This year, he'll need to overcome Corum and another rookie in Hunter. The story pointed out that earlier this offseason, head coach Sean McVay noted there had been “positive progress” on a potential extension with Williams. The running back himself noted he was “feeling good” about a new deal eventually coming to pass, the story went on to say. Williams is ranked 11th among our RBs and could be another steal again this year with an ADP of the early third round.

McVay: 'We didn't operate off anything that our game plan was'

The Rams used a third-round pick on running back Blake Corum with the idea that they’d use him to share reps and carries with Kyren Williams. On Sunday night, that didn’t happen.

Williams had 21 touches (with 18 carries). Corum had none. That’s because Williams was on the field for 91 percent of the offensive snaps (71 total). And Corum was there for none.

So what happened?

“I think each game is going to be its own entity,” coach Sean McVay told reporters on Monday, the day after the 26-20 overtime loss to the Lions. “It was a very unique circumstance because when we got so many of our [offensive] linemen banged up, it limited some of the different — basically, we didn’t operate off anything that our game plan was."

Fantasy Impact:

Corum was supposed to be able to spell Williams this season because the Rams gave Williams such a big workload last season. Williams was one of the top fantasy backs as a result, but the plan seemed to be to give Williams less of a workload to help keep him healthy. McVay went on to say he also wants to get Rivers more carries, but in Week 1 there were circumstances that kept guys on the field they trusted. Despite the preseason hype around Corum, right now the Rams just trust Williams more, and it seems like Rivers more as well. That will likely change at some point as talent usually wins out, and Corum should at least become the team's RB2. For now, Corum owners can't trust him in lineups until we see a lot more in terms of fantasy production.

Rams RB Blake Corum earning first team reps

The Rams drafted running back Blake Corum with the idea that he’ll be an immediate contributor as the backup to Kyren Williams. Early in training camp, they’re liking what they’re seeing.

Rams running backs coach Ron Gould says Corum is getting a lot of reps with the starters in camp because he deserves them.

“This is something that is earned,” Gould told theRams.com. “And I think he’s done a fabulous job of coming in, learning the system, and when we’re asking him to go in, he’s ready to go. He’s been a pro’s pro. He’s a young man that is very passionate about the game. He cares, he studies it, he rewrites his notes, he’s asking a lot of a lot of great questions. So these are the things that I’ve seen. And then he’s got in in practice, and he’s executed at a very high level.”

Fantasy Impact:

This could be one of the bigger stories to follow this offseason and right into the season - how much time will Corum take away from Williams. But as our own John Paulsen points out, Williams owners may not have too much to worry about. Williams was the RB2 on a per-game basis while handling 21.7 of the team’s 28.0 backfield touches in his 12 games played. Even if his touches fall to the 18.0-19.0 range–or 64% to 68% of the team’s backfield touches–he’s still looking at 16.5-17.5 (half-PPR) fantasy points per game. That would have been good enough to remain the RB2 behind Christian McCaffrey.
