PositiveRoleOct 28, 2026
Blake Corum is not yet the starting running back for the Los Angeles Rams, but the source raises the question of whether the Rams should give Corum a chance to start and see what he can do with 20-30 touches in a game. Corum's heavy involvement after the opening possession against Las Vegas, combined with his continued playbook development since joining the Rams, suggests he may be ready for more work. While Kyren Williams maintains a substantial edge in passing-game usage and remains ahead on the depth chart, Corum's performance and increased opportunities indicate growing confidence in his ability to handle a larger workload.PositiveProjectionOct 27, 2026
Corum earned a 87.4 PFF grade in Week 7, the highest among Rams offensive players, and posted 93 rushing yards and a touchdown on 17 carries. He and Williams became the first Rams RB duo since Marshall Faulk and Trung Candidate in 2001 to each record 90+ rushing yards in the same game, signaling a balanced, productive rushing attack.PositiveRoleOct 27, 2026
Corum's snap share is rising but he remains the backup; he played 32 snaps (44% share, season-high) in Week 7 compared to Williams' 37, with five of Williams' snaps coming on clock-milking drives. The source notes Corum has talent, is learning McVay's playbook, and shows willingness to block, but must prove consistency, durability, and productivity before claiming the RB1 role; Williams' job remains his to keep or lose.PositiveUsageOct 26, 2026
Corum played 32 snaps (44% of offensive snaps) and had 17 carries for 93 yards and a touchdown in the victory, his highest touches total in his career. Two of his touchdowns were called back by penalties, including a 43-yard explosive run, indicating he is on the verge of a breakout performance.PositiveUsageOct 26, 2026
Blake Corum recorded a career-high 17 carries for 93 yards and 1 TD in the Rams' 35-21 win over Las Vegas in Week 6. Two additional TDs were called back on penalties, including a 43-yard explosive run. The source notes Corum is built as the runner for volume, and projects increased carries/touches going forward as long as he continues producing. On the season, Corum has 64 carries to Kyren Williams' 96, with only 10 catches compared to Williams' 32, positioning him as the primary ball-carrier in the committee.PositiveProjectionOct 26, 2026
Blake Corum earned a 87.4 PFF grade in the Rams' 35-21 win over the Raiders, the highest offensive grade of the game. He rushed 17 times for 93 yards and 1 TD with 2.74 yards before contact and 47 yards after contact, forcing 2 missed tackles. Corum contributed two rushes over 15 yards and totaled 32 breakaway yards, creating explosive plays that helped an offense struggling to generate chunk gains.PositiveRoleOct 26, 2026
Corum eclipsed Williams in carries with 17 to Williams' 16, picking up 93 yards and a touchdown against the Raiders. Critically, Corum got the first carry of the game despite Williams starting, suggesting a shift in backfield role. The source notes 'After throwing three straight passes on the opening three-and-out with Williams on the field, Corum took over at running back on the second drive.' Corum also had a 43-yard touchdown run called back by penalty.PositiveUsageOct 26, 2026
Corum contributed to Rams' ground game success in Week 7 win over Raiders; churned out yardage alongside Kyren Williams to keep offense ahead of the chains in well-rounded offensive performance.PositiveUsageOct 26, 2026
Corum out-carried Kyren Williams 17 to 16 against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 7, suggesting a potential shift in workload distribution; the source poses the question of whether this represents a changing of the guard in the Rams backfield.PositiveUsageOct 26, 2026
Corum received the bulk of the work in the Rams' win over Las Vegas, posting 17 rushes for 93 yards (5.5 avg) and 1 TD plus one catch for 8 yards. The source notes that despite the box score reflecting a relatively even split with Kyren Williams, Corum was the primary back early, with Williams receiving carries late to bring the workload closer to 50/50. With Davante Adams expected to miss significant time, the Rams renewed their commitment to the run game, and Corum was effective even though the outcome was predictable.PositiveUsageOct 26, 2026
Corum received significant rushing volume in Week 7 as the Rams shifted to a run-heavy game plan after throwing 65% of the time through the first six weeks. Corum and Kyren Williams combined for 33 rushing attempts and 192 rushing yards, marking a major shift toward a multi-dimensional offensive approach.PositiveUsageOct 25, 2026
Blake Corum received carries after Kyren Williams fumbled in the second half of Week 7. Corum had a rushing touchdown called back due to a facemask penalty on the Rams, but later capped off the offensive day with a rushing score late in the game to help seal the victory.PositiveUsageOct 25, 2026
Blake Corum is expected to see a heavy workload on the ground in the Rams' critical matchup against the Raiders. This elevated usage directly impacts his fantasy production potential in a game where LA must win to stay in playoff contention.PositiveProjectionOct 25, 2026
Blake Corum finally showed signs of life in Week 6 with nine carries for 42 yards, his best rushing performance since Week 2 versus the Giants. For the Rams' run game to get going against the Raiders, both Corum and Kyren Williams need to be effective, and the source suggests Corum's productivity could reduce the need to force-feed Williams on the ground.NegativeRoleOct 21, 2026
When Corum is on the field, the Rams lose -0.016 EPA/Play and -5.9% Success Rate, a stark contrast to Williams' +0.075 EPA/Play and +5.1% Success Rate; this efficiency differential underscores Williams' role as the clear lead back.NegativeUsageOct 19, 2026
Corum played 16 snaps (28% of plays) on Sunday and was part of the Rams' running back duo with Kyren Williams, combining for 92 yards rushing on 19 carries and five catches on eight targets. Corum scored on a screen pass into the end zone. The source notes the run game showed hints of being something to build on but the game plan abandoned it too quickly.PositiveUsageOct 19, 2026
Corum earned the second-highest offensive grade at 77.9 and was the better runner than Kyren Williams on Sunday. He carried nine times at 4.7 yards per carry with no negative-yard rushes; he was met with contact at an average depth of 1.48 yards versus Williams at 2.5 yards. Corum created 3.22 yards after contact on average compared to Williams at 2.5, and forced three missed tackles.PositiveUsageOct 19, 2026
2024 third-round pick Blake Corum is sharing the backfield with Kyren Williams but showed efficiency in Week 6 against Arizona with nine carries for 42 yards and two catches for 18 yards and a touchdown, despite playing only 16 offensive snaps. The touchdown reception and productive per-snap efficiency suggest upside in a timeshare role.NegativeUsageOct 18, 2026
Corum scored a touchdown for the Rams, but the subsequent 2-point conversion attempt following his score failed, leaving the Rams unable to capitalize on the scoring opportunity in their 18-16 loss to Arizona.NegativeUsageOct 18, 2026
Blake Corum's role is declining despite efficient production. His season high is just 12 carries, and over the last three weeks his touches have fallen to six, five, and six carries as Kyren Williams' role has grown. Corum is averaging 4.8 yards per carry on the ground, indicating an efficient running game that could be built around, but McVay appears to be moving away from him in favor of Williams.PositiveProjectionOct 16, 2026
The source predicts Blake Corum will receive 15 rushing attempts in Week 6 vs. Arizona, combining with Kyren Williams for 200 total rushing yards. The prediction is based on the Rams' recent heavy passing volume over the last three weeks and Sean McVay's expected priority to establish the run game downfield; Corum had a huge game vs. Arizona last year.NegativeRoleOct 14, 2026
Corum earned a PFF grade of 74.9 and did most of his damage as a receiver, catching three of four targets for 53 yards with 49 yards coming after the catch. His rushing opportunities were limited with five carries for 19 yards, though he did find the end zone.PositiveUsageOct 13, 2026
Played 22 snaps (27% of plays) and actually did some damage as a receiver, hauling in three of four targets. Had a very nice 34-yard catch and run at the end of the third quarter that led to a score in the fourth. On the Rams' first drive out of halftime, he was wide open in the flat with an open field to the end zone, but Stafford, under pressure, overthrew him.PositiveUsageOct 13, 2026
Corum scored a rushing touchdown in the third quarter to give the Rams a 14-13 lead after a steady drive by Stafford; contributed to the Rams' offensive momentum in the second half.NegativeRoleOct 6, 2026
Corum played only 13 snaps (15% of offensive plays) and has lost ground in snap count since joining the Rams. The source notes that while Stafford's checkdown rate to running backs has increased from 11.9% to 20.4% this year, if the Rams offense continues to average 50 pass attempts per game, Corum's limited role will persist.NegativeRoleOct 4, 2026
Corum earned just 7 opportunities (rushes and targets combined) in Week 4, while Williams received 29 plays. This backfield, which used to be as close to a 50/50 split as it gets, has shifted dramatically in Williams' favor. Corum is now an afterthought and, having done little to make the coaching staff question the rotation, is at risk of losing his role in the offense.NegativeRoleOct 2, 2026
Change-of-pace back who isn't going away but has been distanced by Kyren Williams in snap and touch share. In Week 3 at Denver, Corum was out-snapped 61 to 25 and out-touched 21 to 8 by Williams. Remains a bench stash, albeit an exciting one, but Williams' dominance in hostile environments suggests limited upside in Week 4 at Philadelphia.PositiveRoleOct 1, 2026
Blake Corum is working as part of a tandem with Kyren Williams in the Rams backfield. The source groups the Rams skill players—including Corum—as outweighing the Eagles' skill talent of Saquon Barkley, Devonta Smith, and Makai Lemon.NegativeUsageSep 28, 2026
Corum received 25 snaps (29%) and wasn't able to garner enough touches to get a lather up; a dropped pass early in the game was likely enough to limit his snaps in a game where the Rams game plan was to throw the football.PositiveUsageSep 28, 2026
The source argues the Rams need to lean on Blake Corum and Kyren Williams more consistently. Against Denver's strong pass defense, establishing the run game would keep the Rams ahead of the chains, force opposing defenses to respect the entire offense, and reduce unnecessary quarterback mistakes.NegativeRoleSep 28, 2026
Corum failed to provide the energy injection the Rams desperately needed in the second half, finishing with just 15 yards on 6 carries (2.5 average) and zero yards on 2 catches. Despite talks of Corum possibly passing Kyren Williams on the depth chart last week, Williams made his understudy obsolete on Sunday night. The source notes that while the running game works best when both Williams and Corum are contributing consistently, Corum did not deliver in this game.PositiveRoleSep 27, 2026
Built similarly to Kyren Williams with a compact frame and low center of gravity; while off-target throws will be problematic for both, Corum's burst and vision position him as a potential weapon in open space, offering upside in the Rams' receiving game.PositiveMatchupSep 26, 2026
Blake Corum is positioned to benefit from a favorable matchup against Denver's run defense. The Broncos are allowing 5.08 yards per carry, the third-worst mark in the NFL (ahead of only the Panthers and Colts), and have allowed seven 10+-yard runs while stuffing only nine rushes. The Broncos average 0.13 EPA per rush, also third-worst. The Rams average 5.0 yards per carry (10th in the NFL). The source suggests the Rams could be a run-first offense on Sunday night, with victory potentially running through Kyren Williams and Blake Corum rather than via the air attack.PositiveRoleSep 26, 2026
Corum and Kyren Williams each carried the ball 12 times in Week 2, but Corum's tape showed superior ability to hit running lanes and display acceleration and burst; the source predicts Corum will push Williams for more playing time soon, suggesting an uptick in usage and role share.PositiveMatchupSep 25, 2026
Rams RB should be featured alongside Kyren Williams against Denver's weak run defense on Sunday night; Mile High Report recommends McVay run both backs to exploit the Broncos' tackling issues and enable heavy offensive sets with multiple tight ends in the passing game.PositiveRoleSep 24, 2026
Corum is part of a strong running back tandem with Kyren Williams in the Rams offense. The source explicitly states 'The tandem of Kyren Williams and Blake Corum appears strong,' indicating both backs are receiving meaningful offensive opportunities and role security.NegativeUsageSep 22, 2026
Corum played 28 snaps (45%) and his burst really stands out; he runs with stellar vision. Through two weeks, he has a 48.9% RB rush share and 0 goal-line touches, trailing Williams in both volume and opportunity. The source describes them as a solid one-two punch but emphasizes fumbles are a problem for both backs.PositiveRoleSep 22, 2026
The source proposes a split-role approach where Blake Corum becomes the RB1 on first and second down, utilizing his speed, agility, decisiveness and explosive potential to attack running lanes, create yards after contact and be utilized in the screen game. Kyren Williams would then become the primary third-down back while spelling Corum at various times on first and second down if he is the hot hand. This reconfiguration would use both backs according to their strengths rather than removing Williams from the offense entirely.PositiveUsageSep 22, 2026
Corum could provide unique value in the passing game beyond his one 13-yard catch against the Giants. The source suggests McVay could expand Corum's role through the screen game, getting Corum into space with blockers in front of him to maximize his agility and acceleration. Rather than asking him to consistently create yards against a loaded box, the Rams could manufacture opportunities where his elusiveness becomes the primary advantage. A more prominent screen-game role could also force defenses to account for Corum differently when he enters the game.PositiveRoleSep 22, 2026
Blake Corum is making a strong case for a larger role after two games. In Monday night's 28-6 win over the Giants, both backs received exactly 12 carries; Williams finished with 85 yards while Corum recorded 79 yards and added 13 receiving yards. The source argues Corum's combination of acceleration, agility and elusiveness gives the Rams another dimension—he has the ability to make the first defender miss and turn a relatively small crease into a chunk play. Corum averaged 6.6 yards per carry against New York with an 18-yard long run, and was top 5 in the NFL in yards per carry last season for running backs with 100+ carries, picking up where he left off averaging 6.0 yards per carry in the first two weeks of this season.PositiveUsageSep 22, 2026
Part of the Rams' two-headed running game committee with Kyren Williams; combined for 164 rushing yards in the Week 2 28-6 win over the Giants. The committee approach got the job done in a dominant offensive performance.NegativeUsageSep 22, 2026
Blake Corum may be seeing increased usage relative to Kyren Williams in the Rams backfield; this potential shift in carry distribution is a key fantasy consideration for Week 3 RB selection.PositiveRoleSep 22, 2026
The source explicitly states Corum should be the Rams' starting running back. He rushed 12 times for 79 yards and added 1 reception for 14 yards. The source flags the running back rotation as worth monitoring, noting Kyren Williams fumbled and could lose ground to the more explosive Corum over time.PositiveRoleSep 22, 2026
The source argues there is no debate who should be the Rams starting running back: Blake Corum is the more explosive runner. He hits the hole with conviction whereas Kyren Williams dances just a hair too long. That indecisiveness has prevented the Rams from having the opportunity to break long runs. If given the opportunity, Corum could provide more explosion to the Rams offense. Both running backs rushed 12 times against the Giants; Williams outrushed Corum 85 yards to 79 yards, but the source emphasizes Corum's superior running style and potential.PositiveRoleSep 16, 2026
The source identifies Corum as part of the Rams' tandem with Kyren Williams as the key to kickstarting the offense; committing to the rushing attack will open up the passing game for Stafford and help the Rams rebound from their Week 1 offensive struggles.PositiveRoleSep 12, 2026
Corum played 14 snaps (23% snap share) at running back and carried the ball on 10 of them with no telegraphing; he showed good vision and feel for holes while having enough burst to make good gains.PositiveRoleSep 11, 2026
Corum is now half of the Rams' backfield; the source lists him as one of the Rams' best recent draft picks currently on the roster.NegativeRoleSep 11, 2026
Blake Corum is featured in game action for the Los Angeles Rams in Week 1 against the 49ers in Melbourne, Australia, running the ball in the second quarter.PositiveRoleSep 10, 2026
Blake Corum provides a strong tandem with Kyren Williams in the Rams run game; the source identifies their combined role as a key element of the Rams offense that finished second in the NFL in scoring.PositiveProjectionSep 10, 2026
Blake Corum part of the Rams rushing tandem projected to rush for 175+ yards in Week 1; Sean McVay sets the tone on the ground with Corum and Kyren Williams as Raheem Morris takes away Matthew Stafford, attacking out of 12 and 13 personnel against a 49ers defensive front dealing with injuries.PositiveRoleSep 9, 2026
The source identifies establishing Blake Corum alongside Kyren Williams as a key offensive strategy to force the 49ers to bring additional defenders toward the line of scrimmage, which would create passing lanes for Matthew Stafford to attack the second and third levels of the defense.NegativeUsageSep 8, 2026
Blake Corum added 56 rushing yards in the Rams' Week 10 2025 victory over the 49ers, playing a complementary role to Kyren Williams in the backfield.NegativeDepth ChartAug 25, 2026
Corum appeared on 100% of fan-submitted 53-man rosters in the Turf Show Times consensus projection, securing his spot as a core member of the Rams' backfield.NegativeDepth ChartAug 24, 2026
Listed as 'In' on the Rams' depth chart reset, indicating he is locked into the roster ahead of the final 53-man cutdown.NegativeDepth ChartAug 23, 2026
Projected as one of three running backs on the Rams' 53-man roster alongside Kyren Williams and Ronnie Rivers; rested in both preseason games as part of McVay's strategy of sitting established roster players.PositiveRoleAug 12, 2026
Change-of-pace back in one of the league's more intriguing running back combinations with Kyren Williams; the source suggests McVay could intentionally design portions of the game plan around Corum rather than treating him primarily as a change-of-pace option, indicating potential for expanded usage and role elevation in 2026.PositiveRoleAug 11, 2026
Corum appears slimmed down and was already the more explosive player compared to Kyren Williams a year ago. The source assesses that Corum seems on the path to earning LA's RB#1 job in 2026 and beyond, with the possibility he could overtake Williams as the primary running back this season, though it may not happen as early as Week 1.PositiveRoleAug 10, 2026
Blake Corum has shown improved performance during training camp following specialized offseason training focused on ankle mobility. His training with a specialist included "training without shoes on," working the nervous system, and developing fast-twitch muscles. The focus on his ankle stiffness has helped him get his foot into the ground and explode out of cuts more effectively, with the improvement being noticeable to the Rams coaching staff.PositiveRoleAug 4, 2026
Corum is expected to be one of the two lead running backs for the Rams alongside Kyren Williams.PositiveRoleAug 3, 2026
Year 3 RB showing improved game vision and earning carries alongside lead back Kyren Williams; the source notes Corum is talented but has struggled with health durability, yet is now seeing the game faster and positioned to add a big-play element to the Rams' physical run game.NegativeProjectionAug 2, 2026
Corum is a good to very good running back with solid counting stats and impressive advanced numbers, but does not rank among the short list of the best backs in the league.PositiveRoleAug 2, 2026
Emerging running back who rushed for over 700 yards and reduced Kyren Williams' workload to roughly 52% of the team's overall carries; more explosive runner than Williams, raising the question of whether Corum could unseat Williams as the top back in 2026.PositiveProjectionJul 29, 2026
The source predicts Corum leads the Rams in rushing yards despite the backfield being destined for a 50-50 split with Kyren Williams. Corum is expected to see significant action between the 30-yard lines while Williams handles bulk red-zone duties; Corum's speed and explosiveness is rated a notch higher than Williams.NegativeDepth ChartJul 23, 2026
Corum appeared on 100% of fan-submitted 53-man rosters, establishing him as a locked-in running back for the Rams.PositiveProjectionJul 22, 2026
Corum finished second in the NFL in rushing EPA last season among 49 qualified running backs, indicating elite efficiency and production in the ground game.
