Who Should I Start? Aaron Jones Sr. or Blake Corum

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum doesn't need a Kyren Williams injury to have a place in redraft lineups. Corum ran 145 times for 746 yards and six touchdowns last season, averaging 5.1 yards per carry while playing 30.5% of the offensive snaps. His role grew as the year went along, and that two-back setup worked well enough for Los Angeles to keep leaning on it. Corum has carried that momentum into camp, where the Rams have noted the extra speed and agility he worked on during the offseason. Williams is still the starter and remains the better receiving option after catching 36 passes to Corum's eight last year. That keeps Corum from having the same weekly floor. The rushing work is already there, though. RotoBaller's Aug. 22 breakout analysis lists Corum at an ADP of 101 and points to his standalone value in one of the league's best offenses. That's a good range for a back who can contribute without an injury and would see his value jump if Williams ever missed time.
