Rams' Ronnie Rivers: Earns three touches
Rivers carried the ball three times for eight yards during Monday's 27-9 wild-card win against the Vikings.
With Blake Corum (forearm) out for the playoffs, Rivers stepped in as the primary backup to Kyren Williams at running back. As has been the case all season, Williams didn't come off the field often, playing 46 snaps and earning a total of 19 touches for 92 yards and a touchdown. Rivers played just seven snaps, and his three touches all came in the fourth quarter with the Rams holding a comfortable lead. Rivers is likely to continue to see limited volume on offense in the divisional round against a stout Eagles run defense.

Rams' Ronnie Rivers: Leads backup offense Sunday
Rivers rushed for 48 yards on 12 carries while bringing in four of five targets for 34 receiving yards in Sunday's 30-25 loss to the Seahawks.
The Rams rested starter Kyren Williams for a Week 18 contest that had marginal playoff implications for Los Angeles. Actual spot-starter Blake Corum (forearm) recorded just three touches before exiting the contest and opening the door for Rivers to garner 16 touches in the narrow loss. With the former already ruled out for the entire playoff schedule, Rivers is lined up to serve as Williams' primary backup in next Monday's home playoff matchup against Minnesota.

Rams' Ronnie Rivers: Limited to special-teams role
Rivers played all 20 of his snaps on special teams in Thursday's 12-6 win over the 49ers.
Rivers had been working ahead of Blake Corum as the top backup to lead back Kyren Williams through the first four games of the season, but the rookie has since supplanted Rivers for the No. 2 role. Though he's been active for each of the Rams' ensuing 10 contests, Rivers has played exclusively on special teams in all of those games.

Rams' Ronnie Rivers: Reverts to special teams role
Rivers did not record a snap on offense and played 11 snaps on special teams during Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Packers.
For the first time this season, Rivers did not act as the backup to Kyren Williams, with Blake Corum filling the role instead. Whether this is a one-game test for the third-round rookie before the Rams go on bye in Week 6, or if Corum has officially jumped Rivers on the depth chart remains to be seen, but Corum notably produced very similar numbers to what Rivers had been producing with his touches (five rushes for 25 yards, one catch for eight yards). Regardless, the role of Williams hasn't changed, as he rushed 22 times for 102 yards and a touchdown, so neither Rivers nor Corum have much immediate value barring an injury to Williams.

Rams' Ronnie Rivers: Season-high usage in loss
Rivers rushed six times for 26 yards during Sunday's 24-18 loss against Chicago.
The third-year back saw his usage creep up for the second consecutive week, taking the field for 13 of the Rams' 61 snaps on offense. For the third time in four weeks, rookie Blake Corum was used exclusively on special teams, leaving Rivers as the clear No. 2 behind Kyren Williams. Even with the slight uptick in usage, the Rams backfield still runs through Williams (19-94-1 on Sunday) heading into a Week 5 matchup against the Packers.

Rams' Ronnie Rivers: Pair of touches in victory
Rivers rushed twice for nine yards during Sunday's 27-24 victory against San Francisco.
Kyren Williams (24-89-2 rushing line Sunday) is locked in as the starter for the Rams, but Rivers continued to work as the backup. The third-year pro converted a pivotal fourth down on a fake punt, keeping alive a drive that ended in a receiving touchdown for Williams. Notably, third-round rookie Blake Corum didn't take a snap on offense for the second time in three games, meaning Rivers seems firmly locked in as the backup to Williams, at least for now. Rivers likely will continue to have a limited role in the offense in a Week 4 contest against the Bears.

Rams' Ronnie Rivers: One catch in defeat
Rivers caught his only target for no gain and played three snaps on offense during Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Cardinals.
Kyren Williams continued to dominate the touches in the backfield, only yielding three snaps to Rivers before the game was completely out of hand. Rookie Blake Corum had eight rushing attempts, but all eight came on the final drive of the game with the game already wrapped up, so his usage was likely to eat up the remaining clock and protect an already depleted offense from taking any further damage. It appears that, so long as Williams is healthy, Rivers and Corum will be mostly used for special teams, but Rivers is the only other back on the roster to play meaningful snaps through the Rams' first two games.

Rams' Ronnie Rivers: Pair of carries in loss
Rivers rushed twice for 16 yards during Sunday's 26-20 overtime loss to the Lions.
Despite being listed as third on the depth chart, Rivers operated as the primary backup to Kyren Williams. Williams retained his dominating snap share and was on the field for 71 of the Rams' 78 offensive plays, while Rivers took the remaining seven, and 2024 third-round rookie Blake Corum failed to record a snap on offense. The most obvious signal from this breakdown is that Williams, at least for now, is likely to continue to be the focal point of the rushing offense instead of being in the timeshare that had been rumored all preseason long. Who operates as the backup to Williams, however, seems more murky in the short term with Rivers seemingly the No. 2 man in the pecking order at the moment.

Rams' Ronnie Rivers: On track for No. 3 RB job?
Rivers "seemingly has the best chance to be the No. 3 running back" for the Rams, according to Cameron DaSilva of Rams Wire.
Rivers was the No. 2 back at times last season but now figures to fall behind rookie third-round pick Blake Corum, who reportedly has been impressive at training camp. With Corum profiling as Kyren Williams' backup, Rivers and Boston Scott are the favorites for back-end roster spots, which might mean more playing time on special teams than offense.

Rams' Ronnie Rivers: Inks contract tender
Rivers signed his contract tender with the Rams on Monday.
Rivers suited up for nine games in 2023 as a backup to Kyren Williams, logging 32 carries for 129 yards and while securing all five of his targets for 22 yards. He and Zach Evans could have a chance to compete for the No. 2 backfield role this offseason, pending Los Angeles' additions in the 2024 NFL Draft and/or free agency. Rivers has looked solid in limited action as a pass catcher, which could open further paths for opportunities on offense if he's able to impress in the coming months.

Rams' Ronnie Rivers: Receives contract tender
The Rams have extended a contract tender to Rivers, Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports.
By offering Rivers, an exclusive rights free agent, a contract tender, he can't negotiate with other teams this offseason. The stage is thus set for the 25-year-old to return the the Rams' backfield in 2024. Rivers carried 32 times for 129 yards and caught all five of his targets for 22 yards in nine games this past season while working behind Kyren Williams. Looking ahead, the 5-foot-9, 195-pounder should continue to maintain a rotational role in Los Angeles' RB corps, which will also include 2023 sixth-rounder Zach Evans, among others.
