Blake Corum

PositiveBreakout0:00

The source identifies Blake Corum as the preferred Rams running back to draft, projecting a role that includes significant early-down work and potential for 950 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns. The expectation is that Corum will serve as a 'hammer' to close out games, benefiting from a dominant defense that creates favorable game scripts for high-volume rushing attempts in the second half. There is ongoing buzz that Corum will receive as much work as Kyren Williams on early downs.

Kyren Williams

NegativeRole0:04

The source suggests that Kyren Williams has already reached his peak as a fantasy asset. While he is expected to maintain a role as a third-down and high-leverage situation back and likely score more touchdowns than Corum, his overall ceiling is viewed as capped compared to the potential volume shift toward Corum.

0:00So, if you're going to take a Rams
0:01running back this year, Corum is the one
0:02to take. And I'll unpack that by saying
0:04you're right that Kyren Williams is
0:07We've seen his peak as a fantasy entity
0:10unless Corum gets hurt, but we can say
0:12that about so many running backs.
0:14And he will continue to be a third-down
0:16back. He will continue to be a
0:17high-leverage situation [music] back. He
0:19will probably score more touchdowns than
0:21Corum. But there continues to be buzz
0:23that at least on early downs, Corum
0:26will get as much work as Williams. Uh he
0:28he's slimmer. We saw him back at
0:30Michigan. I mean, if you're talking
0:31about a preferred [music] short-yardage
0:33back, then he's that guy. But the other
0:36thing here is the addition of Miles
0:37Garrett, Theo. You know, when
0:39you think of the kinds of game
0:40situations that Miles Garrett's [music]
0:42going to create for the Rams, who's
0:44going to be the running back on the on
0:46the field? [music]
0:47You know, when they're up three
0:48touchdowns in the second half,
0:50that We're going to have more chances
0:52for Blake Corum to have run outs where
0:54he gets to 20 carries because they just
0:57buried the opponent.
0:58>> Yeah, it's really interesting because I
1:00think there's this scenario where Blake
1:02Corum has like 950 rushing yards [music]
1:05and like 10 touchdowns. And he doesn't
1:08have to get there with pass-catching at
1:09all. He's just a hammer. And it's a
1:11defense that is so dominant that the
1:13second half of games, it's just Blake
1:15Corum, let's run the clock out. I I
1:17think that's that's a really good take.
