From the article

Corum's share of carries went up to 36% last season, on the strength of a 41.5% rate in the final 11 games. Corum ran for 5.1 yards per carry, so the hope is that all he needs Thursday is around eight carries — a number Corum got in eight of the final 11 regular-season games, and two of three in the playoffs.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Corum over 43.5 rushing yards; 36% carry share and 5.1 YPC suggest eight carries likely.

Corum's usage increased significantly in Year 2, with his carry share rising to 36% overall and 41.5% in the final 11 games. He averaged 5.1 yards per carry last season. The source projects he needs around eight carries to hit the over 43.5 rushing yards prop, a target he reached in eight of the final 11 regular-season games and two of three playoff games. The Rams are facing the 49ers, who were second-to-last in the NFL in defensive success rate against rushing plays, and the source expects the Rams to split carries in the opener after the long Pacific travel.
