Who Should I Start? Blake Corum or Tahj Brooks

Tuesday, November 25, 3:30 PM

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum was beginning to carve out some standalone fantasy value after three straight weeks with double-digit carries. However, his momentum has stalled in the last two weeks, as he's seen a combined 15 carries for 34 yards on the ground while catching just one pass for a loss of five yards. Despite the Rams blowing out the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday night, the 25-year-old had only seven carries for 24 yards and wasn't targeted in the passing game. Corum has had a bigger role behind Kyren Williams in 2025 in his second year in the league, but it has led to just 82 rushing attempts for 341 yards and one touchdown on the ground in 11 games. He's a fine handcuff for fantasy managers who have Williams rostered, but he won't be recommended as a flex play when the Rams face the Carolina Panthers in Week 13.

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor has ruled out rookie running back Tahj Brooks (concussion) for this Thursday's Thanksgiving Day game against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens in Week 13, according to Jay Morrison of SI.com. Brooks suffered a concussion in Sunday's loss to the New England Patriots, and on a short week, the 23-year-old won't be able to clear the league's concussion protocol. Veteran Samaje Perine (ankle) has missed the last two games due to injury and might not be available this week, either, so the Bengals' backfield could be extremely thin behind Chase Brown this week versus Baltimore. If Perine ends up missing a third straight game, expect Gary Brightwell to operate as Cincy's RB2 behind Brown on Turkey Day. Brooks has only nine rushing attempts in 11 games this year for 28 rushing yards.
