    from Ranking the Five Best Running Back Duos in the NFL Ahead of the 2026 Season: https://www.si.com/nfl/ranking-five-best-running-back-duos-2026-nfl-season

    1. Los Angeles Rams: Kyren Williams and Blake Corum

    Corum became a factor in his second year out of Michigan. Playing behind Williams, Corum rushed for 746 yards on 5.1 YPC with a 59.3% success rate. A valuable backfield factor, the 25-year-old should see his role only grow. As a rookie, he played a paltry 11% of the snaps before seeing that number rise to 29% in 2025.

    In the main role, the Rams have a superstar in Williams. He’s one of just two backs to rush for at least 1,100 yards and 10 touchdowns each of the past three seasons, along with Derrick Henry. Last year, Williams helped lead Los Angeles to the NFC title game, with 1,533 scrimmage yards and 13 touchdowns.

    If the Rams get to the Super Bowl at SoFi Stadium in February, it’ll likely be due in part to Williams having another All-Pro–caliber campaign.

    from PFF Quarterback Rankings: All 32 starters ahead of the 2026 NFL season — https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-quarterback-rankings-all-32-starters-2026

    [me: 1-4 are Allen, Burrow, Jackson, Mahomes]

    …

    Rank 5
    —
    Matthew Stafford
    Los Angeles Rams · QB

    If these rankings were based solely on 2025 output, Stafford would have a legitimate case for the No. 1 spot. His 91.7 PFF passing grade and 4.49 Wins Above Replacement both led the NFL, with the latter finishing more than a full win clear of second-place Dak Prescott (3.39). He also paced the league with a 7.7% big-time throw rate, a mark that also tied for the 15th-highest single-season mark ever recorded in the PFF era.

    That said, the 2025 MVP enters 2026 in one of the NFL’s most favorable situations. Rams head coach Sean McVay remains one of football’s premier offensive minds, and the Rams’ dominant rushing attack consistently forces defenses to respect the run, creating favorable passing opportunities. Stafford has also had the luxury of throwing to Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, giving him one of the league’s best wide receiver duos.

    And then there is the interception variance. Stafford threw just nine interceptions in 2025 despite 21 turnover-worthy throws, with opposing defenders dropping nine potential interceptions (seven of them on genuine turnover-worthy throws). That wasn’t a one-year anomaly, either. His 2024 and 2025 campaigns rank as two of the three luckiest quarterback seasons on record, making it unlikely those breaks continue to fall his way in 2026.

    His 2025 season was spectacular; there is no question. His grading profile is the product of elite quarterback play that he made look almost effortless at times, and he routinely produces throws that few other quarterbacks can. That said, the reasons above are enough just to push him outside of the top four.
