Ranked highly in Week 10 rankings with 20+ touches projected. Expected touchdown upside due to Rams' run-heavy offensive approach without Puka Nakua. Source is higher than consensus on Corum; with limited wide receivers (Kannata Munfield, CJ Daniels, Xavier Smith, Kobby Parkinson) and Tyler Higbee and Parkinson both questionable, the Rams will run the ball down the throat of Arizona and dominate time of possession, creating many available rushes despite potential game script concerns in the second half.

Corum is a must-start despite being the Rams' No. 2 RB behind Kyren Williams. He has scored a touchdown in five straight games, averaging 5.2 yards per carry and 1.02 rushing yards over expected per carry this season; over his last four games, he's averaging 5.4 yards per carry and 1.36 rushing yards over expected per carry. Corum has gotten a carry or target on 53.1% of his snaps this season and 58.7% over his last four games. With Puka Nacua and Davante Adams both out and QB Matthew Stafford's elbow hurting, the Rams are expected to go ultra run-heavy in Week 10 as heavy favorites against the Cardinals ahead of a Week 11 bye. Ranked as a high-end RB2.

Since Week 5, Blake Corum has been the RB16 in fantasy points per game, averaging 11.8 touches and 72.8 total yards with a touchdown in each game, which has propped up his limited volume and hyper-efficiency. He ranks fourth in explosive run rate and 14th in missed tackle rate among 45 qualifying backs. The source notes his hot streak could come to an end this week, though the Rams could feed him more volume as Kyren Williams and Corum serve as the engines of the offense. Arizona's run defense over the last five games has allowed the ninth-lowest explosive run rate, 12th-lowest rushing success rate, and ranks 15th in yards before contact per attempt.

Corum has been a top-20 fantasy RB in five consecutive weeks as his role continues to eat into Kyren Williams' workload, yet he's being ranked outside the top 20 in consensus rankings versus Arizona. The source notes this is undervaluation given the Cardinals are 10-point underdogs at home; Corum performs best when the Rams control the game and avoid obvious passing situations, giving him healthy volume even as an RB2. He should be treated as a team's starter in fantasy football despite his depth chart listing.

Corum is projected for 10.6 fantasy points and ranked RB18 in Week 10. He has quietly finished as a top-15 option at the position in five straight weeks despite very modest underlying utilization, with no significant role in the passing game or short-yardage situations where RBs typically make their fantasy money. Corum has compensated with elite efficiency, averaging 5.2 yards per carry this season and scoring a touchdown in four of his past five games despite having just 38% of the Rams' carries from inside the five-yard line during that stretch. With Puka Nacua sidelined and the Rams' passing game thinning, Corum could see a boost in volume that, combined with his elite efficiency, should cement his RB2 status.

Over the last five games, Corum is averaging 14.5 PPG and is the RB13. He remains behind Kyren Williams in a committee, making him volatile despite recent consistency. However, the Rams are 9.5-point favorites this weekend, and Williams and Corum might be their best two weapons with Nacua and Adams out. The source is projecting a run-heavy approach against the Cardinals, with Stafford averaging 264 passing YPG but oddsmakers projecting 210. The Rams carry a 24.7 team total (above average). Corum projects for 11.4 median, 18.8 ceiling, 8.3 floor, and ranks as a mid-range RB2 in Week 10.

Corum is playing his best ball of the season right now alongside Kyren Williams. The Rams' ground attack is easily a top-3 attack by EPA/attempt (0.04), yards before contact (1.79), success rate (55.0%), and TDs (11). Corum and Williams have posted simultaneous top-25 performances in each of the Rams' last five contests. The source expects the Rams' most run-focused scheme of the season on Sunday against Arizona's below-average run defense. Ranked RB18 in half-PPR consensus.

Corum has scored double-digit fantasy points in five consecutive games and is the RB15 during that stretch, but his production sustainability is questionable with the Rams' receiving corps decimated by injuries. Puka Nacua is joining Davante Adams on IR and Terrance Ferguson is still a week or two away from returning, leaving the Rams severely lacking in the pass-catcher department. Corum should be fine for his matchup this week with the Cardinals, but after that comes a bye week followed by tougher matchups against the Chiefs (Week 13), 49ers (Week 14), Seahawks (Week 16), and Buccaneers (Week 17). As the No. 2 back behind Kyren Williams, Corum is dependent on competitive game scripts, and his limited receiving role could cause him to spend more time on the sidelines if the Rams struggle while Nacua is out. The recommendation is to cash in while his value is at its peak, as his best stretch of the season may have already passed.

The source projects Blake Corum to finish as a fringe RB1 alongside Kyren Williams for the Rams in the second half. Corum is one of three RBs with top-10 marks in yards per route run (1.68) and YAC per reception (9.9). Among Rams pass-catchers, Corum's 8.5% first-down-per-route-run rate ranks third behind only Nacua and Adams. His route rate has increased from 9% in Week 7 to 19% in Week 8 to 22% in Week 9, indicating McVay is moving toward using him more often. With Nacua and Adams out, the Rams have an extra receiver in the backfield, and if McVay boosts target rate to his rushers, Corum and Williams turn into RB1s to close out the season.
