Model projects Corum for 10 points with a 17-point ceiling; he is a high-end RB3 despite the model being lower than oddsmakers on his attempts (10.3 vs. 11.5).PositiveProjectionNov 5, 2026
Corum is on a heater over the last four games, averaging 15.1 PPG and handling 41% of the Rams' attempts. The Commanders have been solid against RBs on the ground (-1.8 PPG), but their two starting defensive tackles, Daron Payne and Javon Kinlaw, are out for the season. The Rams own the 6th-best team total (26.8) and are 4.9-point favorites. The projection model is lower than oddsmakers on Corum (10.3 attempts vs. 11.5), but he still projects for 10 points with a 17-point Xfinity Best ceiling, making him a high-end RB3.PositiveProjectionNov 5, 2026
Blake Corum is ranked RB28 in half-PPR consensus and is listed as a start for Week 9, reflecting his elevated role in the Rams' increased rushing attack.PositiveRoleNov 5, 2026
Blake Corum's role has expanded as the Rams bumped their rush rate north of 51% for two straight games. While this is less of a true flippening and more a result of schematic pivot away from vertical passing, the Rams' consistently effective ground attack (0.04 EPA/attempt, 4.7 yards/carry, 1.83 yards before contact/rush, 55.9% success) means Corum is now firmly part of the weekly flex conversation.PositiveUsageNov 3, 2026
Corum has registered 166 yards and 2 TDs on 28 carries over the past two weeks with double-digit carries in each game and a UR score of 48; he's getting 47% of rush attempts but running only 14% of routes. Against the Commanders, who allow 18 FPG and 75.7 rushing yards to RBs, Corum and Williams could have a productive afternoon despite the Rams' 1B backfield split.NegativeProjectionNov 1, 2026
Blake Corum is an upside flex at RB28 for the source. Corum played 43% of the snaps last week and scored a touchdown as the Rams ran for 201 yards. Sean McVay likes using both Kyren Williams and Corum, and the staff has described the split as week-to-week based on practice and matchup.NegativeProjectionNov 1, 2026
Blake Corum is ranked 59th in Matthew Berry's Week 8 rankings.PositiveMatchupOct 31, 2026
Kendall Valenzuela references Blake Corum scoring 17+ points against the Raiders defense last weekend as a comparable benchmark for what Breece Hall might achieve if he reclaims a full workload in the same matchup.NegativeRoleOct 30, 2026
Corum earned 48.3% backfield share over the last two weeks and outscored Kyren Williams, which is encouraging for managers. However, the source is reluctant to plan victory parades because Kyren continues to outproduce Corum in yards/carry, yards after contact/rush, and success rate, and a similar workload convergence early on preceded Kyren running away with the job for a month. Corum is an obvious hold with weekly flex appeal but remains clear numero dos in the pecking order.PositiveMatchupOct 29, 2026
Matthew Berry receives votes for Blake Corum at RB26 for Week 8 against Los Angeles Chargers; Corum has a favorable matchup or role bump.PositiveProjectionOct 29, 2026
Corum has tallied three consecutive top-18 finishes with 16.2, 14.0, and 17.1 points in one of the better offenses. The Rams are 6.6-point favorites (4th) with a 25.1-point team total (7th). The Chargers give RBs the No. 5 boost on the ground (+3.2 PPG). Corum has 26 attempts for 137 yards and a TD over the last two weeks. The source ranks him as RB26 in Week 8.PositiveUsageOct 28, 2026
Blake Corum has been more productive than Kyren Williams from a fantasy standpoint over the last two weeks despite handling fewer snaps (36% vs. 69%), with the rush share now dead even between the two backs.PositiveMatchupOct 27, 2026
Corum faces the Chargers in Week 8, who are eighth in the league allowing 22 FPG to running backs; in the four games before their Week 7 bye, the Chargers allowed over 100 scrimmage yards to running backs three times, making them a favorable matchup for the Rams' backfield.PositiveRoleOct 27, 2026
Corum is now in the role fantasy managers envisioned when drafting him last summer; in Week 7 he rushed 17 times for 93 yards and a score on 52% of rush attempts and 43% of total snaps, posting similar numbers to Kyren Williams. He had a 43-yard TD run called back due to penalty. The source identifies this as the role that was expected from Corum at draft time.NegativeProjectionOct 25, 2026
Blake Corum is ranked 74th in Matthew Berry's Week 7 rankings.PositiveProjectionOct 25, 2026
Matthew Berry ranks Blake Corum as the 74th-ranked player in his Week 7 rankings.PositiveMatchupOct 22, 2026
Matthew Berry gives Blake Corum a vote of approval at Las Vegas in Week 7 (RB29 rank). Berry has volume or matchup juice for Corum as part of his broader running back recommendations.PositiveProjectionOct 22, 2026
Blake Corum is projected to finish as a top-30 RB in Week 7. While Kyren Williams remains the 1A back at 70% snap share, Corum is expected to see 8-12 touches most weeks. With Davante Adams sidelined for 6-10 weeks, the Rams are expected to shift toward 12 and 13 personnel packages (32% of plays, higher after Adams left), emphasizing the run game. Las Vegas allows the second-most rushing yards (113.7) and eighth-most fantasy points (21.6) per game to opposing backfields; against 13 personnel specifically, they allow a league-high 5.3 yards per carry and 3.64 yards before contact per attempt. Corum should see increased touches when on the field and potential pass game usage bump with Adams out.NegativeProjectionOct 22, 2026
In a non-shootout game against Arizona last week, Corum got back on track with 14 fantasy points. This week, the Rams are 4.2-point favorites over the Raiders with a 26.3-point team total (7th). Kyren Williams complained about his role after last week's loss, so there is some risk. Corum is ranked RB29 in Week 7.NegativeProjectionOct 22, 2026

Corum is ranked No. 24 among running backs in Week 7 rankings.PositiveValueOct 20, 2026
Rams RB is recommended as a Week 7 running back streamer option, suggesting opportunity-based upside.PositiveUsageOct 20, 2026
Corum is guaranteed double-digit touches despite Kyren Williams' claims about field time; he has now recorded at least 10 touches in three consecutive games. In Week 6 against Arizona, he converted 11 touches into 60 yards and a touchdown. The Raiders defense allows 22.1 fantasy points per game to running backs (No. 7 worst), making this a favorable matchup for either Rams back.PositiveUsageOct 17, 2026
In Week 5, Corum's workload shifted meaningfully as the Rams played in a one-score game (their third straight). Goal-line carries jumped to 25% (zero entering Week 5); targets per route run reached 50% (season-high was 31% in Week 3); and he posted his second-highest red-zone snap count with four targets (tied for most in a single game this year). This boosts his floor beyond spelling Kyren Williams. However, the Rams' next five opponents (2x ARI, LV, LAC, WAS) offer limited competitive matchups, potentially forcing more rotation and limiting sustained opportunity.NegativeRoleOct 6, 2026
Corum received just six touches in Week 4 and continues to struggle to crack the RB1 role in the Rams' backfield. Kyren Williams remains the clear lead back trusted most by head coach Sean McVay, leaving Corum in a secondary role with limited fantasy upside.NegativeRoleOct 6, 2026
Corum ranks 9th in yards per carry (4.9 YPC) and 4th in 10+ yard attempts (15.1%) among 35 RBs with at least 30 carries, but lags significantly in receiving production with 0.69 YPRR and 24% TPRR. Sean McVay has pushed back on the notion that Corum is now a backup, but the data suggests Corum still has a role in games where the Rams are leading and don't need the two-minute offense as much.NegativeRoleOct 5, 2026
Blake Corum remains in a split-backfield role with Kyren Williams. Over the last two games, Corum ranks 9th in yards per carry (4.9), 35th in average yards after contact (1.9), 4th in 10+ yard attempts (15.1%), and 21st in missed tackles forced (14%). In the receiving department, Corum has 0.69 YPRR and 24% TPRR, significantly trailing Williams. Sean McVay has pushed back on the notion that Corum is now a backup, but McFarland projects Corum still has a role in games where the Rams are leading and don't need the two-minute offense as much. Both backs have been productive on the ground behind a Rams offensive line that ranks second in yards before contact per RB attempt (2.14).PositiveRoleSep 16, 2026
Blake Corum is a buy as a high-upside RB. The source emphasizes that Corum is more than just a backup to Kyren Williams, a position the source has maintained all offseason. While not the RB1 on the Rams, Corum is positioned as a cheaper alternative who can produce at a solid level, suggesting standalone value beyond handcuff status.PositiveSleeperSep 15, 2026
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.PositiveProjectionSep 12, 2026
Blake Corum's Week 1 utilization of 6.8 PPG trails his 8.5 projected PPG, suggesting room for increased production if usage aligns with projection.NegativeValueSep 12, 2026
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.NegativeUsageSep 11, 2026
Corum was more efficient on the ground than Kyren Williams (10-54 vs. 11-41) but Williams got the rushing TD and receiving work (3-24). The split played out as expected with no surprises.NegativeRoleSep 10, 2026
Backup to Kyren Williams in Rams backfield; while Corum is flexworthy as a contingency, Williams clearly led the way. The duo handled 98% of LAR's running back opportunities. Source recommends sitting Corum in Week 1 (projected RB37) and notes that despite a short TD saving his fantasy day, Blake Corum nearly splitting work looks like a draft-day steal in hindsight.PositiveProjectionSep 10, 2026
Blake Corum's over is highlighted as a 'smash' pick for Thursday Night Football, indicating strong confidence in his Week 1 production relative to his projected total.NegativeValueSep 3, 2026
Blake Corum was selected in Round 8 of this half-PPR mock, positioned as a mid-round running back target.PositiveValueSep 1, 2026
Corum got 39% of rushing attempts and 55% of attempts inside the five-yard line from Week 10 on last season; saw 145 attempts total. Though listed as 1B to Kyren Williams' 1A, he has standalone value and elite contingent upside. With the Rams adding zero insurance behind these two, Corum would be locked into a workhorse role in a potent offense if Williams misses time.PositiveBreakoutAug 27, 2026
Matthew Berry likes the ascension of Blake Corum in the Rams offense. In seven of his final 11 games last season, Corum had 10-plus touches. He also had 39% of team goal-line attempts over that stretch. Even more promising: Corum ranked second in success rate among RBs with 75-plus rushes last season.NegativeDepth ChartAug 21, 2026
Los Angeles Rams running back ranked 96th overall in 2026 fantasy football; has bye week 11.PositiveValueAug 5, 2026
Bears RB Blake Corum is mentioned alongside Kyle Monangai, Kenny Gainwell, and Jonathon Brooks in the 90s ADP range for best ball, described as loaded with potential league winners. Corum represents value in this tier of running backs.NegativeUsageAug 3, 2026
Corum's backfield share was real last season, taking nearly 60 rush attempts from Kyren Williams, yet Williams still hit his 1,000-yard rushing and 10-TD benchmarks.NegativeRoleJul 30, 2026
Matthew Berry acknowledges Blake Corum received more work late in the 2025 season but contextualizes it within Kyren Williams' overall production. Berry notes that while Corum's upside if Williams gets injured is a fair concern, injuries work both ways—if Corum misses time, the question of Williams' ranking becomes moot. This is part of Berry's defense of Williams' RB30 ranking.PositiveRoleJul 28, 2026
Corum has loosened Kyren Williams' grip on the RB1 role in LA with a 34% share of the touches in 2025. While Williams still gets the money touches, HC Sean McVay called Corum a 'big factor' for the Rams, and any progression in his duties gives him value. The source drafted him at 8.08 as a calculated shot to keep the roster in good shape.PositiveBreakoutJul 28, 2026
Sean McVay recently stated Corum will be a 'big factor' in the Rams' offense. Corum's usage picked up after the Rams' bye in Week 8 of 2025, moving beyond backup status. A 1A/1B RB duo with Kyren Williams is viable; during Weeks 13-15, both backs produced: Week 13 (Williams 13-72-1, Corum 7-81-1), Week 14 (Williams 13-84-1, Corum 12-128-2), Week 15 (Williams 15-78-2, Corum 11-71-1). The Rams finished 7th in rushing yards, T-6th in yards per carry, and 1st in points per game in 2025, providing ample opportunity for both backs.PositiveValueJul 27, 2026
Blake Corum is Amon-ra St. Brown's pick as the best RB handcuff in the game. He will get 10-15 touches per game to make him a potential starter on a regular basis, making him a solid Round 9 selection for RB depth.PositiveValueJul 26, 2026
Blake Corum is available around pick 100 and is good enough to start on a regular basis as an RB2 or flex in a Hero-RB build. If Kyren Williams misses any time, Corum becomes a valuable insurance policy and potential league winner.PositiveValueJul 25, 2026
Corum is ranked at the top of RB handcuff targets for 2026 because he has consolidated the RB2 role with 145 rush attempts in 2025 and should remain heavily involved in the Rams' McVay offense. Jonathan Fuller believes Corum has an unmatched floor/ceiling combo among true handcuffs: he can be started even when Kyren Williams is healthy due to his role, and has true RB1 potential as the Rams' starter in any games where Williams is out. This floor/ceiling combo should make Corum a priority pick in the later rounds.PositiveRoleJul 25, 2026
Corum emerged as a significant contributor in the Rams backfield following the Week 8 bye, earning a sizable role alongside Kyren Williams. From Weeks 9-18, Corum and Williams both averaged 1.1 carries per game from inside the five-yard line, indicating a split in goal line work. Corum is described as a good player who has clearly earned his role, suggesting a drive-by-drive rotation in 2026 rather than a workhorse situation for either back.NegativeRoleJul 23, 2026
Matthew Berry acknowledges Blake Corum received more work late last season, generating buzz as a potential handcuff to Kyren Williams. However, Berry notes that Williams still maintained strong touch volume (16.6 per game) from Weeks 7-18, suggesting Corum's upside is contingent on Williams' injury rather than a clear role takeover.PositiveValueJul 23, 2026
Matthew Berry identifies Blake Corum as an attractive RB4 pick due to having both stand-alone value and potential for an outsized role due to injury contingency.PositiveProjectionNo date
Blake Corum averaged 5.1 yards per carry and scored six rushing touchdowns in 2025, demonstrating strong efficiency and red zone production.NegativeRoleNo date
Blake Corum only handled 58 carries for 207 yards as a rookie in 2024, taking a small bite out of Kyren's production before carving out a significant role in 2025.PositiveRoleNo date
Projections have Blake Corum taking on a larger role with the Rams this season, though Kyren Williams is still firmly given the nod as the lead back.PositiveRoleNo date
Corum's overall 2025 production wasn't prolific (782 yards, 6 TDs), but in the final 12 games (including playoffs) he significantly siphoned off rushing usage from starter Kyren Williams (38% rush share vs. 55% with a 50/50 split of goal-line carries). Although he's had a minimal pass-catching role across his two-year career (22 targets), he's the No. 2 RB in one of the league's best offenses and enters 2026 as a top-tier handcuff with weekly flex appeal and season-long contingent upside.
