Who Should I Start? Austin Ekeler or Blake Corum

Washington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler saw a season-high in targets last Thursday and could be in store for another strong showing in Week 12 facing the Dallas Cowboys. Even with Brian Robinson Jr. back in action, Ekeler continued to see most of the passing work out of the backfield and served as a reliable check-down option for Jayden Daniels against a tough Philadelphia defense. While the Commanders have a much easier matchup facing the Dallas Cowboys this weekend, Ekeler could still see a heavy dose of targets as he is becoming one of the most reliable options in the Washington passing attack. Facing a weak Dallas defense that has surrendered the 30th-most PPR points to opposing RBs this season makes Ekeler a viable flex option in PPR formats.

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum had plenty of hype entering the 2024-25 campaign, considering head coach Sean McVay made it seem the rookie would have a routine role in the offense. Unfortunately, that hasn't happened, with the 2024 No. 83 overall pick accumulating only 28 carries for 101 yards in 10 games this season. Without a doubt, Kyren Williams is the top option out of the backfield, so unless he goes down with an injury, Corum has no business in any fantasy lineup, including for the Rams' Sunday Night Football clash with the Philadelphia Eagles.
