Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum is back on the fantasy radar after a high-volume outing against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. During that Week 7 contest, Corum rushed for 37 yards on a season-high 12 carries and 34 percent snap share. He also caught a pass. The 24-year-old capitalized on a positive game script, as he and Kyren Williams both handled a dozen rushing attempts in the 35-7 victory. While Williams will remain Los Angeles' lead back, Corum's high-volume showing could be a sign that he'll continue to handle an increased workload going forward. He should showcase this large workload during a projected positive game script against the Saints in Week 9. If Los Angeles takes a sizable lead early in the game, we could see Corum push for 10-12 carries once again. It's common practice for managers to pursue high-volume running backs in good offenses, so even though Corum is behind Williams on the depth chart, he's still an intriguing waiver wire target as a fringe top-36 running back in fantasy football.

Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson saw his largest workload of the season in his team's Week 8 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, recording 87 scrimmage yards on 14 touches. Wilson has been efficient when he's had the ball in his hands this year, averaging 5.1 yards per touch on 43 touches across seven games played. The Packers have a workhorse running back ahead of Wilson on the depth chart in Josh Jacobs. However, Jacobs has been playing through a calf injury and has failed to crack 16 touches in either of his last two games after recording at least 20 touches in each of his first five. Wilson is still the clear RB2 in Green Bay as long as Jacobs is active, but there could be an opportunity for more consistent backfield snaps while the team manages Jacobs' workload.
