Since Week 5, Corum has been the RB9 in fantasy points per game. Over the last three weeks, Corum has had a 32.7% snap rate, 38.3% of the rushing attempts, and a 12.4% route share (6% target share), averaging 12.3 touches and 77.6 total yards with three scores. Corum has been electric on a per-touch basis; among 42 qualifying backs, he ranks ninth in explosive run rate and 14th in missed tackle rate. Los Angeles has allowed the 14th-highest explosive run rate, fifth-most yards before contact per attempt, and fourth-highest gap yards per carry over their last five games. Corum has a 54.7% gap rate, positioning him to run wild again this week.

Corum is fully interchangeable with Kyren Williams in Sean McVay's offense, with no position-specific play calls. McVay stated there is no "specific menu of plays for Blake or for Kyren," and offensive lineman Kevin Dotson noted the backs are a "plug and play" option where linemen often don't know which back is in until seeing who celebrates in the end zone. This validates Corum's role as a true co-lead back rather than a complementary reserve.

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).

Blake Corum received 33 combined rushing attempts with Kyren Williams in Week 7 against Las Vegas and nearly went for 100 rushing yards; the Rams are expected to continue this run-heavy approach in Week 8 against the Chargers, with both Corum and Williams projected to receive 15+ attempts each as Coach McVay sticks with the formula that produced the Rams' best game in 2026. Corum has shown ability to hit the running hole and take off.

Corum carried the ball 17 times for 93 yards and a touchdown against Las Vegas, playing 44.4% of offensive snaps with one more rushing attempt than Kyren Williams; over the past two games, Corum has accounted for approximately 45% of the Rams' rushing attempts, establishing a legitimate role rather than a backup spell role. The source notes Corum is running with confidence, decisively and physically, making the most of opportunities. With Davante Adams unavailable, Sean McVay is expected to continue leaning on running backs. Williams' ball-security issues (another fumble against Raiders) further support Corum's case for additional opportunities. Against a Chargers defense allowing 4.24 yards per carry, Corum is firmly in the flex conversation with legitimate upside.

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.

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.

Corum and Kyren Williams combined for 192 rushing yards on 5.8 yards per carry, with each eclipsing 90 yards in a recent game—the run game's most complete performance this season. Matthew Stafford described the tandem as perfectly suited for LA's offense, saying 'I haven't had a tandem like Kyren Williams and Blake Corum where they both can do everything. We can call our entire offense with both of those guys in the game.' The Rams are one of only two teams with two names among the league's top 25 rushers.

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.

Since Week 5, Corum has been the RB9 in fantasy points per game. Over the last three weeks, he has averaged 32.7% snap rate, 38.3% of rushing attempts, and 12.4% route share (6% target share) with 12.3 touches and 77.6 total yards averaging three scores. Among 42 qualifying backs, Corum ranks ninth in explosive run rate and 14th in missed tackle rate. Against the Chargers' 14th-highest explosive run rate allowed, fifth-most yards before contact per attempt, and fourth-highest gap yards per carry over the last five games, Corum should run wild again this week with 54.7% gap yards.

The Rams feature 63% neutral pass rate (third) and are 6.5-point home favorites with 25.5-point implied total (seventh).

Blake Corum is not yet the starting running back for the Rams but the source raises the question of whether he should receive a chance to start with 20-30 touches per game. Corum's involvement increased significantly after the Rams' opening possession against Las Vegas, and his development in the playbook has progressed since joining the team. Locked On Rams co-host Travis Rodgers interpreted Corum's prominent usage as a possible coaching message from McVay, suggesting the coach may be signaling a shift in the backfield distribution without fully removing Kyren Williams from the lineup.
