Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum (forearm) has been taking part in voluntary organized team activities this offseason after fracturing his forearm in the Week 18 regular-season finale. It's a good sign that Corum will be ready for the start of his second NFL season as the primary backup to Kyren Williams. After being taken in the third round (83rd overall) last year out of Michigan, the 24-year-old had a minimal role behind the workhorse Williams, carrying the ball only 58 times for 207 yards while adding seven catches on eight targets for 58 yards. He did not find the end zone at all. Heading into Year 2, Corum is competing with rookie fourth-rounder Jarquez Hunter for backup duties in L.A. Corum's quiet rookie season wasn't what fantasy managers in dynasty/keeper leagues wanted to see, and it might take an injury to Williams for him to see a bigger role in his sophomore season.

Arizona Cardinals second-year running back Trey Benson said that he's added seven pounds this offseason but is also more explosive going into his sophomore campaign. "That's my mindset: Two RB1s," Benson said. The team's other RB1 is of course James Conner, who is a workhorse but is no stranger to injuries. The 22-year-old former third-rounder (66th overall) last year out of Florida State took a clear back seat to Conner in 2024, carrying the ball just 63 times for 291 yards (4.6 yards per carry) and one touchdown while catching all six of his targets for 59 yards in 13 games (one start). He missed the final three games with an ankle injury. Benson has the size and speed to be a workhorse himself, but that's not going to happen unless Conner misses time with injury in 2025. He is still more of a dynasty stash than a redraft target, with RotoBaller ranking him as the No. 46 fantasy RB.
