Blake Corum News
Saturday, March 14, 4:48 PM
Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum was PFF's third-highest graded running back over the final six weeks of the 2025 season, with only Derrick Henry topping his five rushing touchdowns over that span. With the Rams making a concerted effort to preserve Kyren Williams for an eventual playoff run, Corum saw his involvement rise by nearly four touches per game from the first half of the season to the second. With reigning MVP Matthew Stafford returning for one more season, and Los Angeles already pushing their chips in for another title run, Corum and Williams could be in line for even closer to a 50/50 regular-season workload split. At worst, Corum should be one of the most valuable fantasy handcuffs in 2026, though he could realistically carry standalone flex value into his third professional season.

Matthew Golden News
Tuesday, February 17, 9:14 AM
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden had a disappointing first year in the NFL in 2025 after he was taken with the 23rd overall pick out of Texas. The 22-year-old caught 29 passes for 361 yards and no touchdowns in 14 regular-season games on just 44 targets. It was surprising that he had so few targets, especially with tight end Tucker Kraft tearing his ACL in Week 9. The Athletic's Matt Schneidman expects Golden "to be a much bigger part of the game plan next season" in his sophomore season. It would be premature to expect Golden to be above Christian Watson or Jayden Reed in the pecking order, but Schneidman "wouldn't hesitate to use him over Dontayvion Wicks." Romeo Doubs is expected to depart in free agency, opening up a big role in the passing attack for Golden. Fantasy managers in dynasty/keeper leagues shouldn't sell low on him, and he could end up being a nice value pick in redraft fantasy leagues this fall.
