Who Should I Start? Blake Corum or Jaylen Wright

Tuesday, September 16, 1:26 AM

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum carried the ball five times for 44 yards and one rushing touchdown during Sunday's Week 2 win over the Tennessee Titans. He has continued to operate as the direct backup to Kyren Williams, but this was the first time in a while were Corum himself had standalone fantasy value. Of course, without the touchdown, Corum would have had only 4.4 fantasy points, which is not enough to justify starting him. With all this being said, perhaps the biggest indicator of Corum's growing role is his snap count. He played 18 snaps on Sunday as his snap share jumped from 17 percent in Week 1 to 30 percent in Week 2. Corum remains an intriguing riser and one of the league's stronger handcuff options, but a non-receiving role on a 30 percent snap share isn't quite enough to justify starting him in fantasy football. He should continue to be stashed on the bench for the time being.

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright (knee) was listed as a limited participant for the team's estimated practice report on Monday. Wright has not played in either of the first two games of the season, but he'll have a shot to be active for the first time this Thursday night against the division-rival Buffalo Bills after getting in three straight limited practices, dating back to last Thursday. The 22-year-old will most likely be eased back into Miami's offense when he returns, but he's fully expected to take over RB2 duties from rookie Ollie Gordon II when that happens. Gordon has been a distant No. 2 behind De'Von Achane in two games with Wright sidelined, carrying the football only three times for 12 yards and catching both his targets for a gain of four yards. Wright is merely a bench stash for RB depth right now.
