Blake Corum

PositiveProjection0:00

Ian Hartitz ranks Blake Corum as his RB2 if Kyren Williams were unavailable, noting that Corum would be a candidate to lead the league in overall touchdowns given the Rams' status as a projected top-scoring offense. While Corum is not an elite receiving back like Jamaal Charles, Hartitz views him as a capable athlete for check-downs; the Rams' offense generally limits RB targets due to their heavy reliance on Puka Nacua, Demarcus Robinson, and their tight ends.

0:00No Kyren Williams, no problem, Blake. Could we see a little bit of Jarquez
0:04Hunter in this situation? >> [music]
0:06>> I guess, but the fact that he was even out there on the field at all in the
0:10preseason when Sean McVay basically left every player and starter of consequence
0:14back in Los Angeles, I do think tells you all you need to know here. So, no,
0:18we haven't seen Blake catch a ton of passes in Los Angeles, but the Rams as a
0:22whole don't throw the ball to the running backs all that much anyway. Why?
0:25Yeah, they got Puka and, you know, Demarcus Adams and a bunch of good tight
0:28ends to get the football to. So, I don't think Corum is necessarily like the
0:32second coming of Jamaal Charles or something like that as a receiver. But,
0:35I also think he's a really good athlete who can still catch check-downs and
0:38things of that nature. So, look, [music] number one scoring offense last year,
0:42Vegas has them ranked as number one scoring offense going into this year. If
0:46Kyren Williams was out of the picture, Blake Corum, my RB2 with his only
0:50competition being Jarquez Hunter, would be a candidate to probably lead the
0:53league in overall touchdowns.
