Combined 163 rushing yards with Kyren Williams in Rams' dominant 28-6 win over Giants; Corum was part of a highly efficient ground attack that exploited an injury-decimated Giants backfield.

Corum and Kyren Williams logged nearly identical touches in Week 2 (both 12 carries, Williams +1 reception), but snap share tells a different story: Corum was below 30% while Williams was over 60% for the second straight week. Corum is averaging 6.0 yards per carry and will collect touchdowns, but his lack of passing-game usage (16 career catches) limits him to a low-end flex option until bye weeks.

Carving out enough of a role to nick Kyren Williams' ceiling in the Rams backfield; a sneaky stash as one of the most valuable handcuffs.

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.

Corum should be the Rams' starting running back after rushing 12 times for 79 yards and adding a 14-yard reception in Week 2. His explosiveness and efficiency position him to gain ground on Kyren Williams, who fumbled in the same game and could lose carries over time as the rotation evolves.

PositiveRoleSep 22, 2026Turf Show Times

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.

Week 2: 12 carries, 79 yards, 1 target, 0 TDs. RotoWire describes him as 'off-the-bench rushing specialist' with 'more explosive pure rushing threat' than Williams; 5'8", 202 lbs, slightly faster than Williams. alternates drives with Williams but gets pulled on red zone/goal-line work and critical 3rd downs; has never exceeded 2 receptions or 15 receiving yards in a game; 23 career targets total. Corum owners bullish on elite handcuff upside and flex value in blowouts/softer matchups; skeptics note he's unstartable in competitive games and lacks receiving work. Last year: 60% of red zone touches went to Williams vs. 30% to Corum; Williams had 69% of red zone snaps. Strong support for Coru...

Rams running back Blake Corum had 10 touches in the Week 1 opener with a higher success rate than Kyren Williams, despite fewer total touches. The source suggests Corum could push for RB3 territory right away and would be an automatic starter later in the year if Williams were to get hurt, indicating emerging upside in the backfield.

Rams running back Blake Corum had 10 touches in the Week 1 opener with a higher success rate than Kyren Williams' 14 touches. Corum's emerging role could push him into RB3 territory right away and would make him an automatic starter later in the year if Williams were to get hurt, suggesting significant upside in the Rams' backfield.

Corum is offered at +200 to score an anytime touchdown. The source favors Corum over nominal starter Kyren Williams, noting five of Corum's six touchdowns in 2025 came from Week 13 onward, outscoring Williams; they essentially split carries in Week 1, with Corum the more efficient and explosive option, and the +200 price is attractive compared to laying -190 on Williams.

Corum is projected over 47.5 rushing yards. The source notes Corum was the only Rams running back who looked sharp in Week 1, running for 5.4 yards per carry (matching his 5.1 YPC from 2025), and received 10 carries in a game the Rams trailed throughout; any number under 50 yards is considered worth backing at the over.

While Blake Corum's season is not over, the original round-eight draft argument for him relied on the Rams holding huge leads to allow him to eat into Kyren Williams' workload; the team's intent remains to keep Williams fresh, which limits Corum's immediate upside.

Corum saw 10 carries in Week 1 compared to Kyren Williams' 13, averaging 5.4 yards on the ground with 1.50 yards after contact. While Corum's per-carry average (5.4 yards) exceeded Williams' (3.7 yards), Williams' higher carry count and touchdown establish Williams as the primary back. Corum will remain part of the dynamic duo in DUO packages against the Giants but in a secondary role.

Corum was involved plenty in Week 1, but only in ways that don't put fantasy points on the table. He ran two routes, was not targeted, and didn't see a single one of the team's seven red zone carries. His role as a change-of-pace back will be frustrating for people who drafted Kyren Williams, but it isn't enough to make him a viable fantasy option on his own.

Nick Falato expects Blake Corum to get going against the run as the Rams lean into the running game; if Corum and Kyren Williams are successful running the ball, play action with Puka Nacua and Davante Adams will become a big issue for the Giants' cornerbacks.
