Blake Corum News
Friday, June 26, 12:14 PM
After seeing limited playing time as a rookie in 2024, Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum took on a significantly larger role in his team's offense in 2025. Across 17 games, the 25-year-old recorded 746 rushing yards and six touchdowns on 145 carries. Corum's workload upside with Los Angeles remains limited by the presence of Rams running back Kyren Williams, who recorded over 1,500 scrimmage yards and 13 touchdowns in 2025. However, Corum proved last season that he can be productive even while ceding touches to Williams. If Los Angeles opts for a slightly more even workload split between its two backs in 2026, Corum could emerge as a consistent flex option for fantasy managers. Of course, Corum is also perhaps the most valuable handcuff option in fantasy football, as he would immediately vault into borderline RB1 territory if Williams were to go down with an injury. All in all, Corum may be slightly undervalued by current redraft ADP as the 35th running back off the board.

Kyle Monangai News
Saturday, June 27, 11:49 AM
A seventh-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai recorded 947 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns on 187 touches across 17 games. Monangai split backfield work with Bears veteran D'Andre Swift in 2025, and both backs remain on Chicago's roster entering 2026. While Swift's presence could continue to limit Monangai's workload ceiling, Monangai profiles as the more physical downhill rusher of the two and may take on a larger early-down and goal-line role in his second NFL season. Even if the Bears continue to operate with a backfield split in the short term, 2026 is Swift's final season under contract with Chicago. If the competition between the two backs is close, it would not be surprising to see the Bears' coaching staff push more onto the plate of Monangai. Given Monangai's status as an up-and-coming back in a strong Chicago running game, he may be undervalued by redraft ADP as the RB33.
