Who Should I Start? Blake Corum or Isaac Guerendo

Saturday, November 15, 12:17 PM

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum has taken on an expanded role lately, registering at least 12 carries in each of his last three games. He played at least one-third of the offensive snaps in two of those three contests. He's also averaging 4.4 yards per carry over the last two weeks. Despite taking on an expanded workload in his role behind Kyren Williams, Corum could be headed for an underwhelming performance in Week 11, even if he continues to log double-digit touches. Corum is rarely ever involved in the passing game, relying on his rushing stats to anchor his fantasy performances. That could backfire on Sunday against the Seahawks, who have allowed the fewest rushing yards, third-fewest rushing touchdowns, and seventh-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2025. They've been much softer against pass-catching running backs, but that's more of a factor for Williams than Corum, given their respective roles. Against a tough defense, Corum remains a mere handcuff and can be left on the bench in fantasy football.

San Francisco 49ers running back Isaac Guerendo was thrust into action in his rookie season in the NFL in 2024 because Christian McCaffrey missed most of the year due to injuries. Guerendo finished with 84 rushing attempts for 420 yards and four touchdowns in 16 games (three starts) and also chipped in 15 catches on 16 targets as a pass-catcher for 152 yards. Fantasy managers probably viewed him as a pretty valuable handcuff for the injury-prone CMC going into 2025 drafts, but the Niners' acquisition of Brian Robinson Jr. before the season pretty much killed whatever fantasy appeal he had. Through the first seven weeks of his sophomore campaign, the 25-year-old former fourth-rounder has yet to play an offensive snap with CMC and B-Rob both staying healthy. Instead, Guerendo has been limited to a special teams role, returning five kickoffs for a combined 100 yards.
