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.

Blake Corum showed fresh legs and occasional explosiveness in the Rams' Week 1 opener despite a tough overall team performance, rushing 10 times for 54 yards on just 23% of snaps. His snap share is expected to rise to approximately 60-40 split with starter Kyren Williams in Week 2. Against the Giants on Monday Night Football, the Rams are favored by 7 points and will likely force their will on the offense, creating opportunities for both Williams and Corum, including late-game rush attempts to work the clock.

Corum's trade value is falling despite offseason hype about his athletic ability. In Week 1, he played only one snap in obvious passing situations while Kyren Williams hogged all RB money touches. Matthew Stafford didn't look Corum's way on his three routes. However, the eye test suggested Corum had more juice than Williams, and the data supports this: both had 50.0% rushing success rate on early downs, but Corum posted 3.3 adjusted yards after contact per attempt vs. Williams' 2.1, and Corum forced a 10.0% missed tackle rate vs. Williams' 0.0%. The Rams' schedule remains difficult (NYG, at DEN, at PHI), but Corum could be a cheap add with contingent value if bench options are bleak.

Blake Corum mentioned as alternative to Kaelon Black in handcuff/backup discussion. One comment argues Corum has higher upside: 'Watching the game, I thought Corum looked like the higher upside/more explosive player and that was with the Rams playing the worst they will all season long. I would try to get Corum and Adams on the cheap right now. I like Black, but he just did what he was supposed to do and Corum was making something out of nothing' (3 score). However, another comment clarifies 'Corum shouldn't be considered a handcuff' (2 score), suggesting he's a standalone player with independent value rather than a pure backup. Debate exists over whether Corum or Black is the better value.

Blake Corum, RB2 on the Rams depth chart, has drawn increased offensive coordinator attention from Nate Scheelhaase after strong workouts and effort in training camp. His involvement spiked in December and beyond last season, carrying the ball for 40+ rushing yards in seven of his final nine games, including two of three postseason outings. Week 1 projections for the trip to Australia sit as high as 51 yards, with forecasts calling for 47+ ground gains.

Corum, the Rams' RB2, is projected for 47+ rushing yards in Week 1 versus San Francisco, with player models as high as 51 yards. The source highlights Corum's growth as a runner and increased involvement late in 2025, carrying for 40+ yards in seven of his final nine games and two of three postseason outings. A run-positive game script favors Corum in the second half, with the Rams tending to lean into him in the final 30 minutes and potential for larger carry splits versus RB1 Kyren Williams.

NegativeRoleSep 10, 2026FantasyPros Articles
Blake Corum is a viable touchdown-dependent flex option in Week 1 with a favorable matchup against San Francisco. In Weeks 7-18 last year, Corum averaged 10.5 rushing attempts and 53.6 rushing yards while helping Kyren Williams on early downs, but offered minimal receiving production with only seven targets and 27 receiving yards over that span. Among 49 qualifying backs, Corum ranked sixth in explosive run rate and 11th in missed tackle rate. San Francisco allowed the highest rushing success rate, tenth-most yards before contact per attempt, and seventh-lowest hit rate at or behind the line of scrimmage, making this a strong rushing matchup. Corum's fantasy value this week depends on scoring in the rushing department and ideally finding the end zone.
