Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum is back on the fantasy radar after a high-volume outing against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. During that Week 7 contest, Corum rushed for 37 yards on a season-high 12 carries and 34 percent snap share. He also caught a pass. The 24-year-old capitalized on a positive game script, as he and Kyren Williams both handled a dozen rushing attempts in the 35-7 victory. While Williams will remain Los Angeles' lead back, Corum's high-volume showing could be a sign that he'll continue to handle an increased workload going forward. He should showcase this large workload during a projected positive game script against the Saints in Week 9. If Los Angeles takes a sizable lead early in the game, we could see Corum push for 10-12 carries once again. It's common practice for managers to pursue high-volume running backs in good offenses, so even though Corum is behind Williams on the depth chart, he's still an intriguing waiver wire target as a fringe top-36 running back in fantasy football.

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum earned a season-high 12 carries last Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars, totaling 37 rushing yards. He also converted his lone target into a six-yard reception. In addition to handling his highest carry total of the season, Corum rushed the ball as many times as Kyren Williams and also played a season-high 34 percent of the snaps. The 24-year-old's increased workload was likely aided by a very positive game script, as Los Angeles was consistently ahead by four possessions. Corum's Rams will head into a Week 8 bye before returning to action against the New Orleans Saints. That game should offer more positive game script scenarios for the Rams, leaving Corum in the low-end RB3/flex range. He's worth claiming off waivers if you have enough bench spots that you can justify stashing him through his bye week.

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum continues to operate in a clear depth role behind Kyren Williams, keeping him off the fantasy radar ahead of Week 7 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Corum has impressed with 5.38 yards per carry this year, but opportunities have been hard to come by. He has just six carries and zero receptions over his last two games, and he hasn't played more than 30 percent of the offensive snaps in a single game this season. The 24-year-old is an intriguing handcuff who would become an RB2 if Williams missed time. However, Williams is currently healthy and has full control of the backfield. As a result, Corum can be left on waivers (or benched in deeper leagues) ahead of Week 7.

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that running back Blake Corum (ankle) will not practice on Wednesday, according to Stu Jackson. Corum suffered an ankle injury in Sunday's Week 6 win over the Baltimore Ravens and is now in danger of missing the Week 7 game in London on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 24-year-old is considered day-to-day for now after being able to return to the field on Sunday in Baltimore after initially injuring his ankle. Corum has not had any standalone fantasy value this year while working as Kyren Williams' backup, so even if he's cleared to play this weekend, he should stay on your bench. If Corum doesn't get cleared to play overseas on Sunday, rookie Jarquez Hunter would take on an elevated role as the change-of-pace back behind Williams.

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that running back Blake Corum (ankle) is considered day-to-day after injuring his ankle in the 17-3 victory over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 6 on Sunday, according to Wyatt Miller. Corum will be monitored throughout the week, but the Rams are hopeful that Corum will be available for the Week 7 contest in London on Sunday when they take on the Jacksonville Jaguars. Corum's availability for the international game will depend on whether he can get back on the practice field this week, starting on Wednesday. Even if Corum practices this week and is active against Jacksonville, though, he won't have any standalone starting value for fantasy managers behind starter Kyren Williams. And if Corum needs more time, rookie Jarquez Hunter would be elevated to the backup role this coming Sunday.

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum (ankle) is questionable to return to his team's Week 6 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens due to an ankle injury, per Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times. Corum had four carries for 14 yards before getting injured. If he is unable to return, Rams RB1 Kyren Williams would likely dominate the team's backfield touches for the remainder of Week 6. Rookie running back Jarquez Hunter could potentially see the first carries of his career as well.
Oct 12, 2025 2:08 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum should continue to be benched in most fantasy football leagues ahead of his Week 6 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. While Corum made a push for more playing time from Weeks 2 to 4, his snap share dropped to a measly nine percent last Thursday night, as he rushed the ball just one time and didn't catch a pass. The most important factor here is Kyren Williams' effectiveness out of the backfield, and he has played quite well, making an impact on the ground and through the air. Williams' 91 percent snap share, 131 scrimmage yards, and two touchdowns last week gave the Rams plenty of reasons to pound the rock with Williams and no desire to get Corum involved. Corum remains a mere handcuff option heading into Week 6 against the Baltimore Ravens, despite Baltimore allowing the third-most fantasy points to opposing running backs.
Oct 11, 2025 12:07 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum has continued to see his role grow, but this increased workload might not be enough to put him on the fantasy radar against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 5. Corum played 29 percent of the snaps last week and handled a season-high 11 touches, infringing on Kyren Williams' role. Corum should continue to handle double-digit touches most weeks, but he could struggle with efficiency this week. After all, he's facing a Niners defense that has allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2025. He would have some low-end RB3/flex appeal against a mediocre or subpar defense, but the 49ers are no joke. He'll have trouble moving the football during Thursday night's divisional battle.
Oct 2, 2025 12:47 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum continues to carve out an increased role within the backfield, making him a player to monitor or even pursue in fantasy football leagues. The 24-year-old played 29 percent of the offensive snaps on Sunday, which was his second-highest mark of the season. He also posted season highs in rushing attempts (nine), targets (four), and catches (two), albeit while posting poor efficiency on the ground and negative yardage through the air. Kyren Williams remains the undisputed No. 1 running back in Los Angeles, but Corum is certainly eating into his workload and making a push for expanded touches week after week. Last Sunday was the first time Corum had double-digit touches in a single game, and if this continues, he could have some standalone value as an RB3/flex in deeper fantasy leagues. He's a worthwhile waiver wire target in leagues with at least 12 teams, especially as bye weeks and injuries plague the position. However, he might be tougher to trust this week in particular as he faces the San Francisco 49ers, who have allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points to running backs in 2025.
Oct 1, 2025 3:01 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum has turned some heads lately, as he's averaging 6.7 yards per carry over his last two contests and has played more than one-quarter of the offensive snaps during that span. Kyren Williams remains the lead back in Los Angeles, but Corum has made a case to earn more touches. We do expect the 24-year-old to play at least 25 percent of the snaps in Week 4 against the Indianapolis Colts, but he's not yet a reliable fantasy option for managers looking to round out their starting lineups. Instead, Corum is best viewed as a handcuff, which means he can be stashed on the bench in leagues with at least 12 teams. Most of his value comes from the points he'd score if Williams ever missed time due to injury, though he could eventually carve out a little bit of standalone value here and there. Fantasy managers should heed this warning and leave Corum out of their lineups, as RotoBaller's experts have him ranked as the overall RB43 in PPR leagues this week.
Sep 27, 2025 2:05 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum gained 53 yards on eight carries in Sunday's 33-26 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Los Angeles collapsed late after commanding a significant lead over the reigning Super Bowl champions. Still, Corum continued to see an increase in his volume for the second straight week. Backfield mate Kyren Williams had handily outsnapped him 92-28 through the first two weeks, and did so again on Sunday (50-16). However, the 24-year-old has been the more efficient runner, posting three yards more per carry than his veteran counterpart (7.1). Corum won't be seizing the RB1 role in LA any time soon, but he's firmly on the high-end handcuff radar. We'll see if he can continue trending up when the Rams take on the surprise 3-0 Indianapolis Colts in Week 4.
Sep 22, 2025 11:55 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum is trending toward handling a larger role going forward, but his productivity could be held in check ahead of Week 3 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Corum saw his snap share jump from 17 percent to 30 percent in Week 2, and he also scored a touchdown while rushing for 44 yards on five carries. While a favorable matchup against the Titans may have boosted his efficiency, it appears that the Rams are still looking to get him more involved. Even if he handles around one-third of the snaps in Week 3, though, he won't be a reliable fantasy option. Williams profiles as the Rams' short-yardage back and their go-to option around the goal line, and Corum will likely see reduced efficiency against an Eagles defense that has allowed the 11th-fewest fantasy points to running backs in 2025.
Sep 20, 2025 11:29 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum carried the ball five times for 44 yards and one rushing touchdown during Sunday's Week 2 win over the Tennessee Titans. He has continued to operate as the direct backup to Kyren Williams, but this was the first time in a while were Corum himself had standalone fantasy value. Of course, without the touchdown, Corum would have had only 4.4 fantasy points, which is not enough to justify starting him. With all this being said, perhaps the biggest indicator of Corum's growing role is his snap count. He played 18 snaps on Sunday as his snap share jumped from 17 percent in Week 1 to 30 percent in Week 2. Corum remains an intriguing riser and one of the league's stronger handcuff options, but a non-receiving role on a 30 percent snap share isn't quite enough to justify starting him in fantasy football. He should continue to be stashed on the bench for the time being.
Sep 16, 2025 1:26 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum should remain an afterthought in the team's offensive attack against the Tennessee Titans in Week 2. While Corum is a solid handcuff, he lacks fantasy appeal as long as Kyren Williams. Just last week, he played only 17 percent of the offensive snaps, finishing with one rushing attempt and one reception. While it's encouraging that he was the only Rams running back not named Williams to register a snap, his incredibly low usage indicates that he's not a priority option in this offense. Even in a favorable matchup against the Tennessee Titans this week, Corum has a very low floor and can be left on the bench or the waiver wire.
Sep 13, 2025 12:24 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum should be avoided in most fantasy leagues ahead of his Week 1 matchup against the Houston Texans. While Corum projects to open the year as the direct backup to Kyren Williams, he's more of a handcuff at this time and is unlikely to surpass more than five or six carries. With lower volume, Corum should be left on the bench (or waivers in leagues with smaller rosters). That's especially true this week against the Texans, who allowed the sixth-fewest rushing touchdowns and fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2024.
Sep 6, 2025 2:26 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum rushed nine times for 32 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's preseason opener against the Dallas Cowboys. He also converted two targets into one reception for four yards. Although Corum was relatively inefficient in terms of yards, averaging just 3.6 per carry, his ability to find the end zone on two of nine carries is impressive. That rate isn't sustainable, but perhaps it offers a glimpse into his role for the upcoming season. At the very least, Corum is a candidate to carve out a short-yardage or goal-line role in a backfield that also features Pro Bowler Kyren Williams and rookie Jarquez Hunter. Heading into his second pro season, Corum isn't a reliable redraft option, but he's worth stashing at the end of your roster in deep dynasty formats.
Aug 10, 2025 8:42 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum was a popular fantasy sleeper heading into last season after being selected in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft out of Michigan. However, the 24-year-old failed to make an impact, logging just 58 carries for 207 yards and failing to score a touchdown. Corum did not look explosive in his limited action, but running backs coach Ron Gould said he is looking better this offseason. "He's gotten his speed back, so his explosiveness has come back," Gould said. "We had a chance to just see that, and then his ability to come out of cuts, which is something that we saw in the junior year and part of his senior year." While this is a promising development, the team's decision to draft Auburn's Jarquez Hunter in Round 4 of this year's draft does not express much confidence in the former National Champion. Kyren Williams should retain his starting role to begin the 2025 campaign, but whoever wins the RB2 job could be a premier handcuff for fantasy football and a potential league-winner should Williams be benched or suffer a long-term injury.
Jul 10, 2025 3:20 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum (forearm) has been taking part in voluntary organized team activities this offseason after fracturing his forearm in the Week 18 regular-season finale. It's a good sign that Corum will be ready for the start of his second NFL season as the primary backup to Kyren Williams. After being taken in the third round (83rd overall) last year out of Michigan, the 24-year-old had a minimal role behind the workhorse Williams, carrying the ball only 58 times for 207 yards while adding seven catches on eight targets for 58 yards. He did not find the end zone at all. Heading into Year 2, Corum is competing with rookie fourth-rounder Jarquez Hunter for backup duties in L.A. Corum's quiet rookie season wasn't what fantasy managers in dynasty/keeper leagues wanted to see, and it might take an injury to Williams for him to see a bigger role in his sophomore season.
Jun 4, 2025 12:46 PM EST
The Los Angeles Rams placed rookie running back Blake Corum (forearm) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday and signed veteran running back Royce Freeman from the practice squad to the 53-man active roster in a corresponding move. Corum is out for the rest of the season after fracturing his forearm in the loss to the division-rival Seattle Seahawks on Sunday in the Week 18 regular-season finale. Kyren Williams will continue to work as the Rams' No. 1 RB for the playoffs, with Ronnie Rivers now likely serving in the top backup role with Corum sidelined. The 24-year-old third-round pick out of Michigan had a small role behind Williams all year in his first season in the NFL and finished with only 58 rushing attempts for 207 yards (3.6 yards per carry), adding seven catches for 58 yards. If he's ready to go for the start of the 2025 season, Corum will likely be a top fantasy handcuff for Williams.
Jan 7, 2025 4:22 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum (forearm) was diagnosed with a fractured forearm, according to head coach Sean McVay. The rookie suffered the injury during Sunday's loss to the Seattle Seahawks. He won't be available for the postseason, meaning Ronnie Rivers and Cory Schrader will presumably operate behind Kyren Williams. Without question, Corum wasn't as advertised during his first season in the league, amassing 207 yards off 58 attempts, adding seven catches for 68 yards. Even worse, he didn't find the end zone. Unless something changes, Corum's fantasy value will be much lower entering the 2025-26 campaign. But he'll likely see attention from Williams' fantasy managers for insurances purposes.
