Who Should I Start? Blake Corum or Bhayshul Tuten

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum broke out in his sophomore campaign, taking 145 carries for 746 yards and six touchdowns to go with eight catches (14 targets) for 36 yards while playing all 17 games. Corum was one of the most efficient backs in the league on a per-carry basis, with his 5.14 yards per carry ranking fifth-highest among running backs with at least 100 carries. He remains the No. 2 running back behind Kyren Williams and has seen more work as a result of the Rams looking to keep Williams fresh for the playoffs. They've formed the most potent running back duo in the league in the Rams' high-powered offense, as Williams ranks first in rushing success rate (62.9%), while Corum ranks second (59.3%), per Fantasy Points Data. Corum should continue to be involved in the Rams' Wild-Card matchup against the Carolina Panthers, who have allowed the 10th-most rushing yards per game (138.3) over the final four weeks of the season. He projects as an RB2/RB3 in fantasy for Saturday's game.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Bhayshul Tuten (finger) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's Week 18 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. Tuten has missed back-to-back games because of his finger injury, but he is ready to return this weekend. The rookie back figures to resume his role as the primary backup to Travis Etienne Jr. in the backfield. The Jaguars can clinch the AFC South title with a win over the Titans this weekend or a loss by the Houston Texans. That means the Jags should play their starters during this regular-season finale. Tuten should see a handful of carries as he returns from injury, but it's unlikely to be enough to warrant streaming him.
