Expert takes
“The Rams will see more favorable game scripts moving forward, which could benefit Corum on early downs, but Williams has been efficient on the ground and is clearly the preferred back on passing downs. The Rams have been near the bottom of running back target share in each of the last six seasons but rank ninth this season, which is unlocking another level for Williams. The start of every season brings questions about Williams’ role, yet he continues to churn out RB1 production in the Rams’ elite offense.”
Chad Workman· Oct 6, 2026“Kyren Williams is an RB1 Kyren piled up 158 scrimmage yards on 21 touches against DEN, including six catches for 70 yards. Blake Corum finished with eight touches for 15 yards. We can live with Corum getting a few carries when Kyren is contributing this much as a receiver.”
Chris Cash· Sep 28, 2026“Kyren Williams has appeared to be the lead back for the Rams; however, Corum is only one rush behind him while having a higher yards per carry. Corum, ranked RB27, and the Rams will travel to the Mile High City to square off against the Broncos defense who have given up the fourth most rushing yards in the league. There is a clear path for both RBs to have success, and Puca possibly sitting out could lead to some additional touches.”

“Kyren Williams is the other running back under 220 pounds who reached the 300-carry threshold in 2023.”
Curtis Hirsch· Sep 2, 2026“Of course, Sean McVay’s love for Kyren Williams is well documented.”
Kyle Lesti· Aug 31, 2026“Corum carries massive upside if Kyren Williams misses any time and could even work his way into FLEX consideration in the right matchups.”
Colt Williams· Aug 21, 2026“Kyren Williams remains one of the most reliable running backs in fantasy football. He had 1,252 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns last season.”
Mike Fanelli· Aug 12, 2026“The Rams have one of the most prolific offenses in the NFL, and Williams handled 63% of the red zone rushing attempts last year. Williams has been an RB1 for three years running, and yet he is in a tier with guys who are RB2’s.”
Jason Kamlowsky· Aug 11, 2026“In 2025, however, Williams started to see his role reduced with backfield mate Blake Corum earning more touches. In 2023 and 2024, Kyren Williams had Opportunity Shares of 78.4% and 82.8%.”
Wyatt Bertolone· Aug 3, 2026“If we do see some natural regression and balance in passing-to-rushing scores, Kyren Williams should be the bet to benefit. Williams played 69.2% of the snaps in the red zone and out-touched Blake Corum 58 to 26 in that area.”
Rich Hribar· Jul 24, 2026“Kyren Williams slotted behind Omarion Hampton and only barely ahead of Jeremiyah Love is, frankly, scandalous. Williams is entering his age-26 season, so he certainly isn’t cooked.”
FantasyPros Staff· Jul 23, 2026“Round 3: Kyren Williams (RB – LAR) Kyren Williams was the counter-pick, a player who’s kept sliding further down draft boards each offseason despite finishing as a top-10 running back in fantasy points per game last year. Much of the hesitation traces back to a well-known backfield split with a rookie teammate, but the full-season split was closer to 65-35 in Williams’ favor, not the even split many assume.”
FantasyPros Staff· Jul 20, 2026
“Favorite Stack: Burrow, Chase, Higgins, and Chase Brown are scattered throughout the articles this week, so this is where I want to lean into the stance instead of pretending those plays are independent. The fact that this game is Andy’s Almost Upset of the Week scares me more than it did a few days ago, but I still like the combo. Tee Higgins is due for a 20+ yard TD.”
Chris Cash· Sep 26, 2026“Chase Brown | $6,600 | @ PIT Brown has already handled 36 carries and eight receptions, including 23 touches last week against HOU (see, go get em, Jonathan Taylor ). PIT has allowed 256 rushing yards through two games at 4.3 yards per carry, so this matchup is juicy. Projection : 16.79 DK points at 10.35% pOwn, with a 27-point ceiling.”
Chris Cash· Sep 25, 2026“Chase Brown posted a 72% snap share, matching a true bell-cow workload — team-high 16 carries, including a designed goal-line touchdown, plus 5 catches on 6 targets.”

“On the other side of the ball, Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase , Higgins, and Chase Brown are all easy starts for the Ballers.”
Jordan Pullett· Sep 12, 2026“TB | DraftKings: $7,100/FanDuel: $7,500 Chase Brown is a workhorse running back in an elite offense. You can go with Jahmyr Gibbs here, too, but I prefer to save a bit of salary with Brown. The Bengals face the Buccaneers in a projected shootout, as highlighted by the game’s 50.5-point total.”
Frank Ammirante· Sep 12, 2026“Chase Brown ( CIN) : ADP 13.6 | RB 8 After a quiet rookie season, Brown has turned into a fantasy star.”
Mike Fanelli· Aug 31, 2026“2026 NFL Overs: Best Running Back Prop Bets David Montgomery — Over 825.5 Rushing Yards (-114) David Montgomery — Over 7.5 Rushing Touchdowns (-102) Chase Brown — Over 824.5 Rushing Yards (-110) Chase Brown — Over 5.5 Rushing Touchdowns (-125) 2026 NFL Longshot Running Back Prop Bets David Montgomery Touchdown Ladder 10+ Touchdowns (+195) 12+ Touchdowns (+350) 15+ Touchdowns (+800) Chase Brown Rushing Ladder 1000+ Rushing Yards (+210) 1250+ Rushing Yards (+550) 1500+ Rushing Yards (+1700) Fantasy football projections, like those done by Rich Hribar , can be a guide to help identify overvalued or undervalued players in the current betting markets.”
Curtis Hirsch· Aug 11, 2026“I don’t think any other running back is set up as well as Chase Brown is this season. The London, Ontario native is primed for his third straight top-12 season.”
Ellis Johnson· Aug 11, 2026“Chase Brown (RB – CIN) has real top-three overall ceiling that isn’t being discussed enough.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 10, 2026“Chase Brown is expected to play an important role in a highly functioning offense that could finish as one of the top-scoring teams in 2026. Brown is a pass-catching back who adds a vast amount of value due to his high reception rate, and dual threat in regards to touchdowns (11 total) . The running back for the Bengals caught 69 receptions for 437 yards.”
