Who Should I Start? Blake Corum or Isaac Guerendo

Sunday, December 7, 8:45 PM

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum had 12 carries for 128 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns during Sunday's Week 14 win over the Arizona Cardinals. He also converted his lone target into a three-yard reception. Corum had one fewer carry than Kyren Williams, but he was far more productive in terms of yards, yards per carry, and touchdowns. The highlight of Corum's game was a 48-yard rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter, but he also scored from two yards out during the opening frame. Offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur recently said that giving Corum more touches allowed Williams to stay fresh down the stretch. While that's true, the second-year running back would likely be working his way into a larger role even if the Rams weren't trying to preserve Williams' legs. Corum has been playing at an elite level lately with 19 carries for 209 rushing yards (11 YPC) and three touchdowns over his last two games. He is the second-highest-scoring running back in fantasy football during that two-week span. Even though Williams is the Rams' lead back, Corum has worked his way into the high-end RB3 or low-end RB2 conversation against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 15.

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.
