Who Should I Start? Blake Corum or Keaton Mitchell

For the first time since 2016, the Los Angeles Rams did not add to the running back position through the NFL draft, and Blake Corum's place on the depth chart appears to be secured heading into his third professional season. A 2024 third-round pick, Corum came into his own in year two, rushing for 746 yards and six scores while averaging more than five yards per carry. With the room looking identical to the one from last year, 2025 fourth-round pick Jarquez Hunter could be in line for his own sophomore season bump after only seeing the field on special teams plays as a rookie, but with the Rams showing an eagerness to keep Kyren Williams fresh, Corum's role still has room for expansion. Corum averaged 10.5 carries per game from Week 7 through the end of the year, and he was the RB15 over the final five weeks of the fantasy season. At RotoBaller's dynasty RB32, he is one of the league's most valuable insurance backs, but he should also maintain his own standalone worth in a high-powered Rams offense.
