Who Should I Start? Blake Corum or Dylan Laube

Wednesday, January 7, 5:02 PM

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.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Dylan Laube could be in line for a slight uptick in playing time this week against the Washington Commanders. Laube logged just 18% of the offensive snaps in the Week 2 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers but managed to catch two passes for 17 yards, flashing the receiving skills that made him a standout in college. Head coach Pete Carroll suggested the team may work him in more on offense after limiting him almost exclusively to special teams in Week 1. For now, Laube remains buried on the depth chart behind Ashton Jeanty and Zamir White, leaving him without any immediate fantasy value. Still, the fact that the Raiders are looking to carve out a role for him in the passing game is a positive sign for his long-term outlook.
