PositiveUsageOct 30, 2026
Corum led the Rams in rush attempts (17) against the Raiders last week with 93 rushing yards and a touchdown, finishing as RB17; he saw a season-high 18 opportunities in that game. He has finished as a top-24 PPR back in three straight weeks despite totaling just 19 touches combined in Weeks 5 and 6, driven by fortunate touchdown production. Corum averages 4.9 YPC with 2.67 yards before contact per attempt (leading all RBs with min. 50 carries) and a 55.5 percent rushing success rate (third behind only Christian McCaffrey and Kyren Williams). Facing an 0-6 Chargers team that ranks near the bottom in rush yards allowed, Corum should have another high-volume day in a positive game script.PositiveValueOct 29, 2026
At $5,000 DraftKings salary, Corum is a strong FLEX play after running 17 carries for 93 yards and 1 TD last week. The Rams' pass-game struggles (Davante Adams absence) and the Chargers' weak run defense make this a favorable matchup to continue the game plan. Corum has scored in three straight games; the source recommends keeping him until his price rises.PositiveMatchupSep 24, 2026
Corum paid off last week and faces a tougher Broncos defense, but the Jaguars and Chiefs have both run the ball fairly well against Denver. If Puka Nacua remains sidelined, the Rams will become a run-first, play-action heavy offense as they were against the Giants, where Corum almost cracked 100 total yards without needing a touchdown.NegativeRoleSep 18, 2026
Corum was involved plenty in Week 1, but only in ways that don't put fantasy points on the table. He ran two routes, was not targeted, and didn't see a single one of the team's seven red zone carries. His role as a change-of-pace back will be frustrating for people who drafted Kyren Williams, but it isn't enough to make him a viable fantasy option on his own.NegativeRoleSep 9, 2026
Corum received most of the summer's 'lurking RB2 threat' concern, but the source has been more focused on Kyle Monangai in Chicago as the backup threat. Ranked 34th among RBs.PositiveValueAug 28, 2026
The source ranks Corum at 67 while ESPN ranks him at 119, indicating the source sees significantly more value in the Rams running back than the ESPN consensus by more than two full rounds.PositiveProjectionAug 19, 2026
Selected eighth overall in Scott Pianowski's mock draft, Corum is positioned as a top-tier running back for 2026 fantasy drafts.NegativeRoleAug 13, 2026
The source discusses how Dobbins will fare in the Broncos' backfield, with implications for Corum and other Denver running backs.PositiveValueAug 7, 2026
Corum is one of the source's biggest stands in the middle of drafts in tier 5; the Rams' backfield ranked top-10 in expected fantasy points and fantasy points over expectation on the ground last year, a team that ran with both volume and efficiency. If anything happens to D'Andre Swift, the source fully expects RB1 numbers from Corum.PositiveValueAug 6, 2026
Possible his 1B role is already maxed out but he pairs standalone value with league-winning contingency upside; dual-path value proposition.PositiveValueAug 4, 2026
Corum's ADP has risen to 98 (RB35) due to Sean McVay's consistent praise. In 2025, Corum finished sixth in PFF grading among all backs, tied with backfield mate Kyren Williams. He excelled in tackle-breaking and explosive rushes. If Williams misses time, Corum would conservatively be a top-10 fantasy option; only bad touchdown luck would prevent him from being a weekly top-five performer. He offers both weekly usefulness and extreme contingency value as a late-round target.PositiveProjectionJul 31, 2026
Ranked RB28 overall (66th overall) in 2026 fantasy football rankings, positioned as a mid-tier running back prospect.NegativeProjectionJul 22, 2026
Ranked 114th in the 2026 dynasty fantasy football top 250 rankings.
