Austin Ekeler Quiet In Loss To Philadelphia

Sunday, January 26, 6:46 PM

Washington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler tallied just 32 all-purpose yards during their loss in the NFC Championship game to the Philadelphia Eagles. Ekeler also lost a fumble. The Commanders were playing from behind throughout most of the contest, putting their rushing attack out of the game plan. However, even when Ekeler was given the ball through the air, he could not perform. He caught five of his seven targets but tallied just 17 yards. His seven targets tied him the second-most on the team, only behind tight end Zach Ertz. Throughout the season, the 29-year-old operated primarily as a change-of-pace option in the Washington backfield. Entering Sunday, Ekeler posted a strong 10.3 yards per catch and a 4.8 yards per carry. Ekeler will likely remain in this role next season as he enters the final year of his contract.

Blake Corum News

Blake Corum Present for OTA Workouts

Wednesday, June 4, 12:46 PM

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.
