Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum (ankle) will be listed as questionable to play in the team's Week 18 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, per Adam Grosbard of the Los Angeles Daily News. Corum was forced to exit early from his team's Week 17 loss to the Atlanta Falcons after suffering an ankle injury, and missed practice on both Wednesday and Thursday as a result. Heading into Week 17, Corum had recorded a rushing touchdown in four straight games and double-digit touches in three straight contests. While Rams head coach Sean McVay has said the team plans to play its starters in Week 18, Los Angeles is locked into either the number five or number six seed in the NFC playoffs and may choose to be cautious with Corum. Fellow Rams back Kyren Williams (ankle) is also questionable to play due to an ankle injury, so Los Angeles could be without its top two running backs on Sunday. If both Corum and Williams are sidelined, Ronnie Rivers and Jarquez Hunter would likely handle the team's backfield work in Week 18.

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum (ankle) was seen working off to the side during the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday, according to Sarah Barshop of ESPN. Corum sprained his ankle in the second quarter of Monday night's loss to the Atlanta Falcons and never returned. The 25-year-old did not practice on Wednesday, putting his availability in question for the Week 18 regular-season finale this weekend against the division-rival Arizona Cardinals. Backfield mate Kyren Williams is also dealing with an ankle injury, but he was limited in Wednesday's practice. The Rams are already locked into either the No. 5 or No. 6 playoff spot in the NFC, so they won't push Corum to play against Arizona if he's not ready. If he's active, he could see a smaller share of the backfield touches in Week 18, making him a shaky RB3/flex option in fantasy right now.

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report, per the Los Angeles Daily News' Adam Grosbard. Corum sprained his ankle in the second quarter of Monday night's upset loss to the Atlanta Falcons and never returned. On a short turnaround going into the Week 18 regular-season finale against the division-rival Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, the 25-year-old's status is firmly up in the air. The Rams will only be playing for seeding purposes this weekend, although they plan to play their starters. Still, with Corum not 100%, it wouldn't be a surprise to see him held out. Backfield mate Kyren Williams (ankle) is also banged up with an ankle injury and was listed as limited on Wednesday. If Corum doesn't make much progress and is ruled out for Week 18, Ronnie Rivers would take over as the RB2 in L.A.
Dec 31, 2025 6:09 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum (ankle) is considered questionable to return for Monday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. Corum limped to the sideline after a two-yard carry in the second quarter and was taken to the locker room. He is uncertain to return with a right-ankle injury. Before exiting, Corum rushed the ball six times for 18 yards on the ground. His absence should mean a larger role for Kyren Williams in the backfield. Ronnie Rivers figures to see more chances as the backup, too, with Corum out of the mix for now. With the Rams down big to begin the second half, it's probably unlikely that we'll see Corum again on Monday night, and the Rams could choose to keep him sidelined for the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Arizona Cardinals as well.
Dec 29, 2025 10:00 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum has been able to produce standalone fantasy value in fantasy football despite operating as the No. 2 option out of the backfield. Corum continues to play behind Kyren Williams, who had a whopping 26 touches last week. However, given how well the Rams' offense has played, Corum has still produced highly effective fantasy performances. He ranks as the overall RB8 over his last four games, largely thanks to the fact that he has averaged 7.5 yards per carry and scored five touchdowns during that span. The 25-year-old rarely ever gets any targets in the passing game, so he'll need to maintain his efficiency and continue finding the end zone if he's going to keep up his hot fantasy streak. The Falcons have been tough against running backs this year, but the Rams frequently get into scoring position and should set up several goal-line opportunities for Corum on Monday night. He's a low-end RB2 at the moment.
Dec 28, 2025 10:30 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum has carved out a role in one of the most fantasy-productive offenses in the NFL. Since Week 13, Corum has scored more than 13 fantasy points and finished among the top 24 running backs in PPR formats. During this stretch, Corum has scored a touchdown in each game and has scored five touchdowns in total. The Rams have deployed a split backfield over the last couple of weeks to keep Kyren Williams fresh and healthy for a potential Super Bowl run. Despite splitting work, both running backs have remained fantasy viable. With the offense consistently playing in the red zone, both backs have been able to score touchdowns and produce for fantasy managers. Corum has built a solid resume that managers can depend on and can be trusted as a flex option during fantasy championships.
Dec 24, 2025 10:48 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum began the 2025 season as his team's clear RB2 behind established back Kyren Williams. However, as the year has progressed, Corum and Williams have moved closer to a true timeshare in the backfield. Over his last four games, Corum has recorded 328 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 44 carries. While Williams remains the team's leading rusher and snap-earner, Corum has played at least 22 offensive snaps in three straight weeks. Given the overall prowess of the Rams' offense, Corum has a chance to provide fantasy-relevant production every week, as long as he continues to earn double-digit touches. In any fantasy league where he remains available, Corum is a must-add player on the waiver wire heading into his Week 17 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.
Dec 22, 2025 10:11 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum has been a very pleasant surprise over the last few weeks. Throughout his last three games, he has 280 rushing yards and four touchdowns, ranking as the overall RB4 in half-PPR leagues over that span. During that three-week window, he has boasted terrific efficiency with an average of 9.3 yards per carry. Corum will remain a fantasy-relevant running back heading into Thursday's Week 16 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, who have a strong run defense. The tougher matchup is worth considering, but Corum's touchdown streak and elite efficiency lately should help managers justify deploying him in their lineups. His role is relatively safe, too, as he played a season-high 46% of the snaps last week as the Rams continue their efforts to keep Kyren Williams fresh for the playoffs. Corum should handle double-digit touches again in Week 16, so as long as he maintains his efficiency and stays involved around the goal line, he can be a top-24 fantasy running back. As it stands, he ranks as the overall RB34 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy rankings for Week 16.
Dec 18, 2025 1:41 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams second-year back out of Michigan, Blake Corum, continues to impress in Week 15, as he scored for a third straight week, and had 11 carries for 71 yards (6.45 YPC) and one touchdown. Corum has now rushed for a ridiculous 280 yards and four touchdowns over the past three weeks. More impressively, he has done it on 30 carries, which is suitable for a 9.33 YPC. Corum is still the clear backup to Kyren Williams, who had 15 carries for 78 yards and two touchdowns in Week 15. Still, the Rams offense, led by MVP candidate Matthew Stafford, is potent enough to score so much that both running backs have fantasy value as we move into the final weeks of the season. At this point, Corum is the top handcuff option in fantasy football and has standalone RB3/flex value even with Williams taking a majority of the carries. The Rams will face stiff competition in Week 16 on Thursday Night Football against the Seattle Seahawks.
Dec 15, 2025 10:00 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum has plenty of momentum on his side ahead of Week 15 against the Detroit Lions. Over the last two weeks, Corum has totaled 19 carries for 209 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns, plus a three-yard reception. He has continued to play around one-third of the offensive snaps, and he has posted otherworldly efficiency with 11.0 yards per carry between his last two games. Corum's increased role and productivity have come as a result of the Rams lightening Kyren Williams' workload to keep him fresh for the playoffs. Williams had just one more rush attempt than Corum last week, and the two have combined for five touchdowns over the last two games. While we expect Corum to remain heavily involved for the final few weeks of the regular season, his efficiency may come back down to earth this week. After all, the Lions have allowed the eighth-fewest rushing yards, sixth-fewest rushing touchdowns, and second-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2025. Still, Corum has proven that he has standalone value in fantasy football. He ranks as the overall RB36 in RotoBaller's fantasy football rankings for Week 15.
Dec 13, 2025 9:13 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams second-year running back out of Michigan, Blake Corum, dominated once again in Week 14, rushing for 128 yards on 12 carries (10.7 yards per carry) and two touchdowns in the Rams' 45-17 rout over the Arizona Cardinals. Corum is one of, if not the best, fantasy football handcuff right now and is a must-add off the waiver wire if available in your leagues. The Rams' offense ranks fourth in the NFL, averaging 29.2 points per game, and Kyren Williams, the Rams' lead running back, has also been solid in 2025 but has lately been giving way to Corum to help keep him fresh for the NFL playoffs. Still, Rams coaches have expressed interest in keeping both involved, and Corum is no joke, averaging 5.45 YPC on the season. Corum remains an RB3/Flex consideration in leagues with multiple flex spots or 14 teams or more. On the season, Corum has rushed for 550 yards on 101 attempts with four touchdowns. Up next for the Rams is a big NFC clash against the Detroit Lions.
Dec 10, 2025 10:01 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams second-year running back out of Michigan, Blake Corum, dominated once again on Sunday, rushing for 128 yards on 12 carries (10.7 yards per carry) and two touchdowns in the Rams' 45-17 rout over the Arizona Cardinals. Corum has now scored three touchdowns in the past two weeks and has rushed for 209 yards on 19 carries over his past two weeks. Kyren Williams is still the starter in this explosive Rams offense, but Corum is making his case for a potential takeover and to become a league winner down the stretch. The Rams have publicly stated that they are interested in limiting Williams' workload as the team prepares for its playoff run. Regardless, Corum has seen his workload ramp up over the past five weeks, and he is one of, if not the top handcuff, in fantasy football going into the fantasy playoffs. Even without the handcuff, he is providing RB3/flex value based on his pure production and projected 8-10 carries and 30-35 percent snap share. He is a must-add off the waiver wire if he is currently out there in any of your leagues.
Dec 8, 2025 9:26 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum had 12 carries for 128 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns during Sunday's Week 14 win over the Arizona Cardinals. He also converted his lone target into a three-yard reception. Corum had one fewer carry than Kyren Williams, but he was far more productive in terms of yards, yards per carry, and touchdowns. The highlight of Corum's game was a 48-yard rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter, but he also scored from two yards out during the opening frame. Offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur recently said that giving Corum more touches allowed Williams to stay fresh down the stretch. While that's true, the second-year running back would likely be working his way into a larger role even if the Rams weren't trying to preserve Williams' legs. Corum has been playing at an elite level lately with 19 carries for 209 rushing yards (11 YPC) and three touchdowns over his last two games. He is the second-highest-scoring running back in fantasy football during that two-week span. Even though Williams is the Rams' lead back, Corum has worked his way into the high-end RB3 or low-end RB2 conversation against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 15.
Dec 7, 2025 8:45 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum has carved out a fantasy-relevant role lately, and he should remain involved during Sunday's Week 14 contest against the Arizona Cardinals. Offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur recently said the Rams found that an increased workload for Corum allowed Kyren Williams to remain fresh deep into the season. This trend should continue as Los Angeles aims to keep Williams healthy and productive ahead of the playoffs. As a result, we can expect Corum to maintain his trend of handling roughly one-third of the offensive snaps and 7-10 touches per game. He was particularly effective last Sunday against the Carolina Panthers, carrying the ball seven times for 81 yards and one touchdown. However, his touchdown came in a brief period where Williams was being evaluated for an injury. We expect that the goal-line role will remain with Williams as long as he stays healthy. Furthermore, Corum isn't much of a receiving threat, catching just five passes for 10 receiving yards this year. Therefore, fantasy managers will need him to deliver high efficiency on the ground. He's a riskier play for Week 14, but he should still benefit from a matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, who have allowed the 10th-most fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2025. He ranks as the overall RB33 in RotoBaller's fantasy rankings for this week, which means managers in 12-team leagues can feel comfortable deploying him as an RB3 or flex.
Dec 6, 2025 9:55 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams second-year running back out of Michigan, Blake Corum, had himself a fantastic Week 13 with 81 rushing yards (11.57 YPC) on 11 carries and a touchdown. More importantly for Corum fantasy owners, Kyren Williams left the game for a bit with an ankle injury. However, he eventually returned, scored a touchdown, and finished with 13 carries on the afternoon, nearly doubling Corum in total touches. Regardless, it's difficult to ignore Corum's production on Sunday, combined with the fact that since Week 7, he has seen at least seven carries and played between 28 and 40 percent of the snaps during that stretch, which is more than last year or anytime earlier in this season. Corum remains one of, if not the best, handcuffs in fantasy football. If Williams were to miss time, Corum would immediately become a top-20 running back on one of, if not the best, offenses in the NFL in 2025.
Dec 1, 2025 9:40 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum continues to carve out a modest role behind Kyren Williams. However, the bulk of his volume has been short-yardage runs, leaving him off the fantasy radar in most leagues. Over the last two weeks, Corum has a respectable 15 carries, but he has totaled just 34 rushing yards (2.27 yards per carry). He also has zero touchdowns and just one reception during that span. Williams remains the clear lead-back in Los Angeles, which leaves Corum as a bench-worthy running back in most fantasy leagues. Even against the Panthers, who have allowed the eighth-most rushing yards and seventh-most fantasy points to running backs in 2025, Corum isn't a dependable fantasy option. He ranks as the overall RB49 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy rankings.
Nov 29, 2025 7:00 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum was beginning to carve out some standalone fantasy value after three straight weeks with double-digit carries. However, his momentum has stalled in the last two weeks, as he's seen a combined 15 carries for 34 yards on the ground while catching just one pass for a loss of five yards. Despite the Rams blowing out the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday night, the 25-year-old had only seven carries for 24 yards and wasn't targeted in the passing game. Corum has had a bigger role behind Kyren Williams in 2025 in his second year in the league, but it has led to just 82 rushing attempts for 341 yards and one touchdown on the ground in 11 games. He's a fine handcuff for fantasy managers who have Williams rostered, but he won't be recommended as a flex play when the Rams face the Carolina Panthers in Week 13.
Nov 25, 2025 3:30 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum continues to factor into the team's plans as they prepare for Week 12 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Corum is averaging 12.8 carries over his last four games, but his efficiency has been far from desired. Last week, he had just 1.3 yards per carry and also lost two yards on his lone reception. Despite the efficiency concerns, Los Angeles continues to trust him to handle a standalone role behind Kyren Williams. While Williams remains the primary back, Corum has played at least 28% of the snaps in each of his last four games. This week's matchup looks intriguing on paper as the Buccaneers have allowed the ninth-most fantasy points to running backs in 2025. However, a large portion of those points have occurred in the passing game, and Corum doesn't have much of a receiving role. In fact, the Bucs have allowed the eighth-fewest rushing yards to running backs. As a result, Corum ranks outside the top-36 running back range for Week 12. Specifically, he's the overall RB41 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy rankings.
Nov 22, 2025 4:09 PM EST
Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum continues to get significant opportunities in the team's rushing game, and he can be a deep-league addition if you're looking for running back options on the waiver wire. Corum only had 10 rushing yards in Week 11 against the Seahawks, but he still did get eight carries while playing 16 snaps (31% of the offensive total). He's still working behind Kyren Williams, but he has averaged 11.5 carries per game over his last four contests, and he continues to play about one-third of the Rams' snaps. He and the Rams have a favorable schedule the rest of the season, with the Buccaneers this Sunday night and then matchups against the Panthers and Cardinals, who have been good running back matchups this season.
Nov 18, 2025 10:32 AM EST
Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum has taken on an expanded role lately, registering at least 12 carries in each of his last three games. He played at least one-third of the offensive snaps in two of those three contests. He's also averaging 4.4 yards per carry over the last two weeks. Despite taking on an expanded workload in his role behind Kyren Williams, Corum could be headed for an underwhelming performance in Week 11, even if he continues to log double-digit touches. Corum is rarely ever involved in the passing game, relying on his rushing stats to anchor his fantasy performances. That could backfire on Sunday against the Seahawks, who have allowed the fewest rushing yards, third-fewest rushing touchdowns, and seventh-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2025. They've been much softer against pass-catching running backs, but that's more of a factor for Williams than Corum, given their respective roles. Against a tough defense, Corum remains a mere handcuff and can be left on the bench in fantasy football.
