Blake Corum Enjoys High-Volume Outing Aided by Game Script

Wednesday, October 22, 2:02 AM

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum earned a season-high 12 carries last Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars, totaling 37 rushing yards. He also converted his lone target into a six-yard reception. In addition to handling his highest carry total of the season, Corum rushed the ball as many times as Kyren Williams and also played a season-high 34 percent of the snaps. The 24-year-old's increased workload was likely aided by a very positive game script, as Los Angeles was consistently ahead by four possessions. Corum's Rams will head into a Week 8 bye before returning to action against the New Orleans Saints. That game should offer more positive game script scenarios for the Rams, leaving Corum in the low-end RB3/flex range. He's worth claiming off waivers if you have enough bench spots that you can justify stashing him through his bye week.

Braelon Allen Could Miss 8-12 Weeks, May Need Surgery

Friday, October 3, 11:54 AM

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.
