CBS Sports2. Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens: Due to both injuries and attrition, Jackson had a down year in 2025 but remains as explosive as anyone at the position. He's one who plays his best with something to prove as after his last injury-plagued season in 2022, he responded by winning the MVP the next year. With a new OC in Baltimore in Declan Doyle -- who unleashed the best of Caleb Williams last year -- Jackson is poised to bounce back and reward those who select him in Fantasy football drafts.

With Corum, he only had 58 carries, for 3.7 YPC as a rookie, but that went up in 2025. Last season, Corum had 145 carries for 5.1 YPC.

Bleacher ReportThe reason is workload. After playing sparingly as a rookie in 2024, Blake Corum had over 150 carries in 2025. He made the most of those carries, averaging 5.1 yards per carry. He had double-digit carries in four of the last five regular-season games last year.

"Williams had to deal with more work for Blake Corum last year, but he still retained his lead role overall and in the red zone. In Weeks 7-18, Williams still saw 63% of the red zone rushing attempts while Corum helped him with the heavy lifting on early downs in between the 20s. With the workload lightened a tad, Williams did post improved rushing efficiency metrics, ranking 21st in explosive run rate, 25th in missed tackle rate, and 18th in yards after contact per attempt (per Fantasy Points Data)."

Yahoo SportsIt's also worth keeping in mind that Corum was drafted just one year after Williams had his big 2023 season. The reason this could matter is that Williams thrives on touchdowns and rushing volume since he's not a fantastic receiver. Williams has had at least 225 rushing attempts in all three of his last three years.

Then in 2025, Williams was able to get that efficiency mark back up to 4.8, but his fantasy football production would slip once again, this time to 15.5. While a running back scoring 15.5 is still valuable, it's a big difference between that 20 plus PPG range.

Bleacher ReportWilliams actually posted more total yards in 2025 (1,533) than he did the previous season. Even if Corum assumes a larger share of the early-down workload, Williams should retain the high-value touches that have supported his fantasy production and remains a strong bet to finish among the top 10 running backs.

Overrated running backs De'Von Achane (Dolphins) — On any other team he'd still be a top-10 fantasy pick. But these 2026 Dolphins could be embarrassing, even by State of Florida standards. Miami's lone star will be hard-pressed to get close to his 2025 totals of 1,838 yards and 12 TDs.
