Corum has been RB15, RB14, and RB15 in his last three games, setting a season high with 14 expected half PPR points (RB15) without Davante Adams while rotating drives with Kyren Williams as usual. The Rams will flirt with record usage of 3-TE sets moving forward and may run more in the red zone, helping Corum on the margins. Corum is best when the Rams are up on the scoreboard, as Williams is far more involved as a receiver while trailing. The Chargers rank ninth in half PPR points allowed to opposing running backs (21.6 per game) and are much friendlier on the ground (sixth-most) than through the air (25th). The Rams are 6.5-point home favorites with a 25.5 implied total (seventh).PositiveUsageOct 30, 2026
Corum led the Rams in rush attempts (17) and finished as RB17 last week against the Raiders despite Davante Adams' absence. He saw a season-high 18 opportunities in that game and has finished as a top-24 PPR back in three straight weeks. 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-best). 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.PositiveProjectionOct 29, 2026
Corum is positioned for a third straight strong fantasy week after producing nothing prior to Week 6. Last week he had 18 touches matching Kyren Williams' 18 touches. The Chargers defense has been a disaster, and teams have gone very run-heavy against them. The Rams are expected to dominate the game script, which favors Corum's involvement; when the Rams are tied or leading, Corum receives 41% of the backfield's expected fantasy points compared to just 21% when trailing. The touchdown upside looks great in this matchup.PositiveProjectionOct 28, 2026
Blake Corum is recommended as a start for Week 8 fantasy football, appearing in start/sit recommendations as one of the top options to deploy at running back.PositiveUsageOct 27, 2026
Corum had 93 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries against the Raiders, with two additional touchdowns called back due to penalties, as the Rams emphasized a run-first offensive scheme.PositiveMatchupOct 23, 2026
Corum faces the Raiders, who rank seventh in half PPR points allowed to RBs at 21.7 points per game and sixth in rushing points allowed to RBs. Opposing starters have posted massive fantasy outings against Las Vegas lately: James Cook III (RB3), Rhamondre Stevenson (RB10), and Kenneth Walker (RB2). The Rams are 4.5-point road favorites with an implied total of 26 points (fifth) and won't have Davante Adams for 10 weeks.NegativeRoleOct 23, 2026
Corum ranks as RB36 in half PPR points per game on RB48 usage over his last four appearances, providing complementary support behind Kyren Williams. His role doesn't fluctuate much but is at its best when the Rams are in control of games; Williams gobbles up catch-up mode receptions when trailing. Corum is purely an RB3 dart throw on 7.8 carries per game when the Rams' team total is high enough. Despite RB15 and RB14 finishes in most recent games, he was RB33 and RB30 in expected half-PPR points in those games—he just ran really hot.PositiveSleeperOct 22, 2026
Sleeper option at LV in a favorable matchup against a Bottom-10 defense vs. the position.PositiveMatchupOct 21, 2026
Las Vegas ranks seventh in half PPR points allowed to RBs at 21.7 per game and is particularly vulnerable on the ground, ranking sixth in rushing points allowed. Opposing starters have posted massive fantasy outings: James Cook III (RB3), Rhamondre Stevenson (RB10), and Kenneth Walker III (RB2). The Rams, who won't have red zone extraordinaire Davante Adams for 10ish weeks, are 4.5-point road favorites with a 26-point implied total (fifth).NegativeRoleOct 21, 2026
Corum continues to provide complementary support behind Kyren Williams, ranking RB36 in half PPR points per game on RB48 usage over his last four appearances. His role doesn't fluctuate much but is at its best when the Rams are in control of games, as Williams will gobble up catch-up mode receptions when trailing. Corum is purely an RB3 dart throw on 7.8 carries per game when the Rams' team total is high enough during bye weeks. Despite RB15 and RB14 finishes in most recent games, the long view shows he was RB33 and RB30 in expected half PPR points in those games; he just ran really hot.NegativeRoleOct 21, 2026
Corum is positioned as a backup with occasional spike-week potential, not a threat to Kyren Williams' lead-back role. Despite a strong fantasy performance in Week 5 following a touchdown, the source cautions against overreacting to one week and emphasizes that Williams' backfield remains intact, with Corum projected as an RB3 going forward.PositiveValueOct 21, 2026
Ranked 9th among running backs in the source's Week 7 trade value chart with a value of 182, reflecting mid-tier trade asset status.PositiveValueOct 21, 2026
Ranked #28 in rest-of-season RB trade value with a HALFPPR value of 18; positioned in the lower tier of running back trade values.NegativeRoleOct 19, 2026
Despite outscoring Kyren Williams in Week 6, Corum has minimal red-zone involvement; he has just one rush attempt and zero targets inside the 10-yard line through six games compared to Williams' 11 rush attempts and three targets, indicating limited high-value opportunity share.PositiveRoleOct 19, 2026
Corum's red-zone snap share has increased to nearly 50% over the last two weeks, up from a much lower share earlier in the season. He has capitalized with two touchdowns in this span. While his overall snap share and rush share remained relatively stable, the red-zone work increase positions him as a more viable fantasy option going forward.PositiveUsageOct 18, 2026
Corum had 11 touches for 60 yards including a touchdown catch in Week 6 against Arizona in a closer-to-50-50 backfield split with Kyren Williams; he provides secondary value and touchdown upside in the Rams backfield.NegativeSleeperOct 15, 2026

Corum is an option to consider if you're stuck this week against Arizona; he could get extended run if it's a blowout.NegativeMatchupOct 15, 2026
Corum is expected to kill clock in Week 6 as part of the Rams' run game against the Cardinals, whose run defense is completely broken and presents the sixth-best rushing matchup of the week.PositiveProjectionOct 14, 2026
Corum has operated as the secondary option in the Rams backfield, averaging 7.0 carries and 32 rushing yards over his past four appearances (RB38 in half PPR production, RB46 in expected-points usage). Against the Cardinals, who are allowing 127 rushing yards per game (10th most), Corum counts as a FLEX option with the Rams carrying a 33.0-point team total (first). The source notes there could be extra fourth-quarter attempts for Corum given the Rams' dominant implied total.NegativeRoleOct 13, 2026
Corum had plenty of positives on Monday Night Football in Week 5, averaging 3.8 yards on 5 carries (better than starter Kyren Williams' 3.1 mark on 16 rushes) and gaining 53 yards on 3 catches with a 1-yard TD. However, his snap share (27%) continued to lag far behind Williams' 73%, and Corum didn't touch the ball in the fourth quarter or overtime. Fantasy managers who drafted Corum hoping for an even backfield split continue to be disappointed. He could have his best game of 2026 this week as the Rams are bordering on two-touchdown favorites against the Cardinals, which could result in Williams sitting out most of the second half.NegativeRoleOct 7, 2026
Blake Corum is discussed in the Week 5 running back rankings segment, indicating he is part of the weekly analysis.PositiveValueOct 7, 2026
Ranked 19th among running backs in the source's trade value chart for Week 5, indicating lower-tier fantasy value.NegativeRoleOct 5, 2026
Blake Corum has become an afterthought in the Rams backfield as Kyren Williams has taken 31 of the 41 carries over the last two weeks (77% of RB touches), compared to Williams' 49% share in the first two weeks.NegativeUsageOct 4, 2026
Corum has been phased out of the Rams backfield, receiving just 12 touches over the last two games as Kyren Williams has taken over the lead role.NegativeRoleOct 1, 2026
Blake Corum is discussed in the Week 4 running back rankings segment, indicating he is part of the conversation around backup running backs and emerging opportunities at the position.NegativeRoleSep 30, 2026
Corum is only RB41 on RB47 usage this season and hasn't hit 10+ expected half PPR points since Week 16 of last year, including the NFL Playoffs. He's a good player capable of chunk gains and goal-line scores, but with Kyren Williams starting each half and being targeted often in trailing scripts, Corum can't be trusted unless the Rams are a 30-point team every week. He's far more of an elite insurance than realistic FLEX play.PositiveValueSep 30, 2026
Ranked #12 on the trade value chart for running backs in Week 4 with a value of 15, indicating mid-tier trade asset status.NegativeProjectionSep 29, 2026

Corum was mostly an afterthought in Week 3 against the Broncos, tallying just 15 total yards on six carries and two receptions, while Kyren Williams logged 15 carries and seven catches. Despite the lopsided one-week split, Corum is still an integral part of the Rams offense. However, like TreVeyon Henderson, his lack of work in the passing game means he will have a single-digit fantasy total unless he crosses the goal line. With Williams coming off his best game of the season, Corum needs to make a statement in Week 4.PositiveMatchupSep 24, 2026
The source identifies Blake Corum as having flex appeal in Week 3 against the Broncos, suggesting he is a viable lineup option for that matchup.NegativeUsageSep 22, 2026
Corum and Kyren Williams logged nearly identical touches in Week 2 (both 12 carries, Williams +1 reception), but snap share tells a different story: Corum was below 30% while Williams was over 60% for the second straight week. Corum is averaging 6.0 yards per carry and will collect touchdowns, but his lack of passing-game usage (16 career catches) limits him to a low-end flex option until bye weeks.PositiveBreakoutSep 21, 2026
Rams running back Blake Corum had 10 touches in the Week 1 opener with a higher success rate than Kyren Williams' 14 touches. Corum's emerging role could push him into RB3 territory right away and would make him an automatic starter later in the year if Williams were to get hurt, suggesting significant upside in the Rams' backfield.NegativeProjectionSep 17, 2026
Blake Corum is discussed in the Week 2 running back rankings segment, indicating he is part of the conversation for Week 2 lineup decisions.NegativeUsageSep 15, 2026
Corum logged a 26.4% snap share with zero targets on 11.5% route participation in Week 1, which the source calls slightly disappointing. However, he outperformed Kyren Williams on the ground with 54 yards on 10 carries versus Williams' 41 yards on 11 carries. The source recommends rostering Corum everywhere but notes his lack of passing-game work (15 career catches) limits upside and makes him a weak flex option until bye weeks.PositiveUsageSep 15, 2026
Corum rushed 10 times for 54 yards in Week 1. Together with Kyren Williams, they produced 95 rushing yards on 21 attempts and both looked capable of keeping the Rams backfield productive.PositiveRoleSep 9, 2026
Corum is the source's preferred back in the Rams' offense; the source is a believer in him despite the team's infrequent passing to backs.NegativeProjectionSep 8, 2026

Blake Corum offers standalone value as an interesting understudy to Kyren Williams. In the final 11 games of last season, Corum produced at a pace that tracked to 179-911-7.7 over a full year. The source has tried to draft Corum proactively all summer given the Rams' potentially-dominant defense creating cushy game scripts.NegativeRoleSep 3, 2026
Bench option in a balanced roster construction targeting top-10 offenses for 2026.NegativeValueSep 3, 2026
Blake Corum was selected at 7.04 in the expert league; he is a potential NFL team No. 2 RB who has never been a top-20 option, and the fact that he is in consideration this highly shows how bad the Round 7 range is.PositiveProjectionSep 2, 2026
Corum looms as a platoon partner to Kyren Williams. He entered the Circle of Trust for the final 11 games last year, producing at a clip that paces to 179 carries, 911 yards, and 7.7 touchdowns for a full season. Corum is another player you can draft at his floor but still dream of upside. The Rams should be a run-heavy team in the fourth quarter with a loaded defense controlling outcomes.PositiveSleeperSep 1, 2026
Scott Pianowski wants Corum on all of his rosters. Corum averaged double-digit carries for the final 11 games of 2025, producing at a pace that maps to 179-911-7.7 for a full season. The Rams could turn the backfield into a 60-40 split for the fresh season, which would give Corum standalone value from the jump. If Kyren Williams gets hurt or hits any kind of slump, Corum looms as a possible ADP smash. The summer market was split on Corum's fantasy value, which is why he's still available just inside Pick 100 in Yahoo leagues.NegativeValueSep 1, 2026
The source references Corum as an example of a running back where added competition should not automatically trigger concern. While added competition is a bust factor in over half of historical RB busts, the source notes that not every addition should be a concern, using Corum as an example of a player where new competition may complement rather than cannibalize workload.PositiveBreakoutAug 31, 2026
Corum's role in the Rams offense expanded significantly in 2025, earning 34.3% of early-down rushing attempts (up from 17.6% in 2024) and nearly matching or outperforming Kyren Williams in efficiency metrics. His 11.2% explosive play rate was particularly noteworthy, and with Stafford increasing red zone passing rate from 52.4% to 57.0%, Corum is projected to take on even more work this season, positioning him as a potential breakout candidate.PositiveRoleAug 31, 2026
Corum, a former Day 2 pick acquired by the Rams in 2024, has been viewed by dynasty and redraft managers as a potential breakout candidate to take on a larger role in the Rams offense. He has lived in Kyren Williams' shadow since joining the team, but the source's framing suggests he remains a player of interest for a potential role expansion.PositiveValueAug 28, 2026
The source ranks Corum at 67, while ESPN ranks him at 119, indicating the source views him as significantly undervalued relative to ESPN's consensus by 52 spots.NegativeDepth ChartAug 27, 2026
Blake Corum is one of two starting-quality backs on the Rams roster, with Jarquez Hunter unable to beat out Ronnie Rivers for the depth role behind Corum and Kyren Williams.NegativeValueAug 26, 2026
Blake Corum of the Rams is identified as a 2026 Zero RB target with ADP of 87 (RB31), representing a mid-round running back option for drafters seeking late-round breakout potential.PositiveProjectionAug 25, 2026
Corum is ranked fourth among backup RBs after taking a major step forward in Year 2 with 782 scrimmage yards and six touchdowns. His best production came in the second half of the season, topping 50 yards in seven of his last 10 outings, including 81 yards and a TD in Week 13, 131 yards and two TDs in Week 14, 71 yards and a score in Week 15, and 61 yards and a TD in Week 16. The source projects Corum will be an RB3 with enticing upside in favorable game scripts and carries more fantasy value as the No. 2 back in Sean McVay's system. Corum is one injury away from being a top-12 fantasy back.PositiveValueAug 25, 2026
Blake Corum shares backfield work with Kyren Williams in Los Angeles, but the source prefers to draft Corum at cost, indicating better value relative to Williams in the Rams' split backfield.NegativeValueAug 21, 2026
Blake Corum's Prizm Silver PSA 10 declined 25% to $60, ranking among the biggest losers in the year-over-year scorecard. His decline reflects either injury concerns or performance disappointment.PositiveBreakoutAug 19, 2026
Blake Corum is positioned as a breakout candidate for the Rams, though his emergence would likely require injury to Kyren Williams. Corum produced strong metrics last year with 5.1 yards per carry and the fifth-best PFF rushing grade, and is already in Sean McVay's Circle of Trust. Over the final 11 games last year, Corum averaged 10.8 carries per week, a pace that would produce 911 rushing yards and 7.7 touchdowns over a full season. He has never fumbled in the NFL, another way he's built trust with McVay. While Corum won't provide significant receiving stats, he can be drafted at his floor this summer with upside potential.NegativeRoleAug 19, 2026
Corum could take more snaps and touches from Kyren Williams this season, though Williams is expected to maintain the primary role in the Rams' backfield.PositiveRoleAug 18, 2026
The source notes that Corum 'probably has weekly flex appeal even if Kyren Williams is healthy and producing,' citing late-season evidence from the previous year. Corum is viewed as a one-injury-away back with RB1/2 upside if he takes over the Rams backfield.PositiveRoleAug 18, 2026
Corum had 12 of the goal-line carries from Week 7 on in the Rams' backfield, compared to Kyren Williams' 13, indicating a split backfield in the second half of the 2025 season for the first time in years. This represents a significant increase in red-zone opportunity for Corum.NegativeValueAug 18, 2026
Corum is referenced as an alternative running back option to Kyle Monangai given Monangai's knee injury.PositiveValueAug 13, 2026
Blake Corum is the preferred running back from the Rams backfield over Kyren Williams; the price gap between the two is too wide to ignore, making Corum the better value target in 2026 drafts.PositiveRoleAug 12, 2026
Corum was RB37 from Week 9 onward after the Rams' bye while playing about one-third of snaps; he's expected to play more snaps in 2026 as the rightfully-drafted top backup in fantasy football.PositiveProjectionAug 12, 2026
Jalen Nailor projects Blake Corum as his starting RB in Round 8. Corum was RB37 from Week 9 on after the Rams' bye while playing about a third of the snaps. Nailor suggests that if forced to guess whether Corum plays more or less this year, it would be more, as the rightfully-drafted top backup in fantasy.PositiveValueAug 12, 2026
Drafted later in this mock draft than Kyren Williams; Jalen Nailor views Corum as a threat to Williams' workload, making Corum a better value pick than Williams at his ADP.NegativeProjectionAug 12, 2026

The summer market seems split on Corum's fantasy value, which is why he's still available outside Pick 90 in most leagues.' Corum's late-season production (179 carries, 911 yards, 7.7 TDs pace) and potential 60-40 split with Williams offer standalone value outside Pick 90.PositiveRoleAug 7, 2026
Has a role no matter what, making him flex-worthy right away; one injury away from the moon. Positioned as a top RB target.PositiveValueAug 7, 2026
Blake Corum is identified as a potential flex play with upside in Rounds 7-9; the source recommends taking more flex options like Corum in Rounds 7-9 rather than drafting a QB2, as the opportunity cost at RB goes from potential upside flex plays down to pure risky backups.PositiveValueAug 7, 2026
Corum is one of the source's biggest stands in the middle of drafts. The Rams' backfield ranked top-10 in both expected fantasy points and fantasy points over expectation on the ground last year, demonstrating both volume and efficiency. If anything happens to D'Andre Swift, the source fully expects RB1 numbers from Corum.PositiveBreakoutAug 6, 2026
Corum was drafted for $7 in a 14-team salary cap league and is identified as an upside throw. The source posits that Corum's usage in the second half of 2025 makes him flex worthy immediately in 2026.NegativeValueAug 6, 2026
Corum is among the worst RB values in 2026, with an ADP of 95th overall but projecting to finish 115+; he is a high-upside backup priced more aggressively than others with contingent upside, representing significant downside risk.PositiveValueAug 5, 2026
Corum averaged double-digit carries for the final 11 games of 2025, producing at a pace that maps to 179 carries, 911 yards, and 7.7 touchdowns for a full season.

The summer market seems split on his fantasy value, which is why he's still available outside Pick 90 in most leagues.NegativeProjectionAug 5, 2026
Corum is cited as the projected backup in an unspecified backfield with 139 projected PPR points. The source uses him as an example of a Zero RB strategy failure scenario where RB35 value won't even get a team to the playoffs.PositiveValueAug 5, 2026
