Blake Corum News
Sunday, October 25, 6:32 PM
Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum saw an increased workload during Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Corum has seen his role grow in recent weeks, but he saw heavy usage this weekend. Corum carried the ball 17 times for 93 yards and a touchdown in the win. The 25-year-old has now found the end zone in three straight games. Kyren Williams will remain the lead back in Los Angeles, but Corum keeps gaining more reps due to his solid play. The expectation is that Corum is going to remain a significant part of this offense going forward. He should be in the mix as a RB3 or flex play for the Week 8 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Matthew Golden News
Wednesday, October 28, 2:48 PM
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden remains a strong fantasy option for Thursday's Week 8 matchup against Carolina, as long as his shoulder and foot injuries don't keep him out. Golden caught six of 12 targets for 39 yards against Detroit last week, a disappointing performance after consecutive 100-yard outings against Chicago and Dallas. He has recorded 36 receptions for 540 yards and three touchdowns through seven games, averaging 15.0 yards per catch. Golden has drawn 25 targets over his last two games, but Carolina presents a difficult matchup, allowing only 798 receiving yards and three touchdowns to opposing wide receivers through six games. Golden (shoulder/foot) did not participate in practice Monday or Tuesday before returning to limited participation Wednesday and is officially questionable. His substantial target volume provides considerable fantasy upside, but his health and Carolina's strong pass defense introduce risk. RotoBaller ranks Golden WR13 for Week 8, making him a high-end WR2 with WR1 upside if active. Fantasy managers should confirm his availability before Thursday's kickoff.
