Who Should I Start? Blake Corum or Ray Davis

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum earned a season-high 12 carries last Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars, totaling 37 rushing yards. He also converted his lone target into a six-yard reception. In addition to handling his highest carry total of the season, Corum rushed the ball as many times as Kyren Williams and also played a season-high 34 percent of the snaps. The 24-year-old's increased workload was likely aided by a very positive game script, as Los Angeles was consistently ahead by four possessions. Corum's Rams will head into a Week 8 bye before returning to action against the New Orleans Saints. That game should offer more positive game script scenarios for the Rams, leaving Corum in the low-end RB3/flex range. He's worth claiming off waivers if you have enough bench spots that you can justify stashing him through his bye week.

Through his team's first six games this season, Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis has seen minimal usage. Davis has recorded just 48 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 16 total touches. After averaging 7.6 touches per game as a rookie in 2024, Davis is averaging 2.7 touches per game so far in 2025. Bills RB1 James Cook is currently dominating the early-down work in Buffalo, with veteran back Ty Johnson playing a role on passing downs. That leaves Davis on the outside looking in, barring an injury. Davis maintains some fantasy value as the handcuff option to Cook. Still, his standalone appeal is nonexistent if his usage remains the same when Buffalo returns to the field after its Week 7 bye.
