Rams' Kyren Williams and Blake Corum ranked No. 1 RB duo

The Los Angeles Rams proved in 2025 that a steady dose of two running backs can generate an impressively efficient rushing attack.

L.A. finished seventh in total rushing yards (2,152) and sixth in yards per attempt (4.6) thanks to the duo of Kyren Williams and Blake Corum . Those two both ranked in the top-eight in rushing efficiency this past season and combined for 16 touchdowns and 138 first downs.

So, it should be no surprise that the duo of Williams and Corum ranked No. 1 in CBS Sports' running back tandem power rankings following free agency.

One year into Blake Corum's career, it seemed like he could have trouble finding his footing behind Kyren Williams. He took a leap forward in Year 2, though, adding 746 yards and six touchdowns to an offense that still featured the NFL's sixth-leading rusher. Williams and Corum became the first teammates since at least 1950 to string together three consecutive games in which both tallied 70 rushing yards and a touchdown, according to league research. They work together perfectly. Pairing these two with Matthew Stafford and Puka Nacua is just unfair, but that's the firepower it takes to compete in the NFC West nowadays.

Williams has been great ever since he took over as the Rams' starting running back in 2023, but the emergence of Corum as a legitimate RB2 in his second NFL season is a great sign for L.A. The third-round rusher out of Michigan got over his early fumbling issues and proved to be an effective second engine for the Rams' offense in 2025.

While there has been speculation that the Rams could target Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love in the first round of the 2026 NFL draft, another report indicates L.A. will keep the same running back group from 2025 for this upcoming season.
