STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Corum's rising route rate and elite receiving metrics support RB1 upside.

The source projects Blake Corum to finish as a fringe RB1 alongside Kyren Williams for the Rams in the second half. Corum is one of three RBs with top-10 marks in yards per route run (1.68) and YAC per reception (9.9). Among Rams pass-catchers, Corum's 8.5% first-down-per-route-run rate ranks third behind only Nacua and Adams. His route rate has increased from 9% in Week 7 to 19% in Week 8 to 22% in Week 9, indicating McVay is moving toward using him more often. With Nacua and Adams out, the Rams have an extra receiver in the backfield, and if McVay boosts target rate to his rushers, Corum and Williams turn into RB1s to close out the season.
