Who Should I Start? Blake Corum or Braelon Allen

Monday, December 29, 10:00 PM

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.

According to head coach Aaron Glenn, New York Jets running back Braelon Allen (knee) could miss 8-12 weeks with the MCL sprain he suffered in Week 4's loss to the Miami Dolphins. Reports were that Allen would miss more than the minimum number of required games, but it now appears he'll be out until at least December, with surgery still an option. In the 21-year-old's absence, teammate Isaiah Davis will take over the Jets' RB2 duties behind starter Breece Hall, and the newly-acquired Khalil Herbert will handle the RB3 role with Kene Nwangwu (hamstring) still tending to injury. Fantasy managers can safely drop Allen in all redraft formats as the likelihood of him making an impact to close out the 2025 season remains low.
