Is Blake Corum a Sneaky Redraft Sleeper Entering 2026?

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.

RJ Harvey Still Has Upside, But Workload Is Messy

Thursday, July 9, 11:24 AM

Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey (shoulder) still has enough upside to draft, but managers should not treat him like a clean Year 2 breakout. Harvey scored 12 total touchdowns as a rookie, catching 47 passes for 356 yards while adding 540 rushing yards and seven scores on the ground. Denver has praised his route-running and playmaking with the ball in his hands, and that receiving role still matters in Sean Payton's offense. The problem is the backfield did not get simpler. J.K. Dobbins is back on a two-year deal after looking like Denver's best early-down runner when healthy, and the Broncos used a fourth-round pick on Jonah Coleman, a physical runner with third-down ability. Harvey is also coming off offseason shoulder surgery, so training camp matters. RotoBaller has him ranked RB35 across formats, which fits the risk. He is an upside bench pick in redraft and a dynasty hold, not someone to value like a locked-in lead back.
