Who Should I Start? Joe Mixon or Blake Corum

Monday, October 27, 2:56 PM

In what is becoming part of his weekly routine, Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans told reporters on Monday that he has no update on the injury status of Pro Bowl running back Joe Mixon (foot). Mixon has been on the team's NFI list since the beginning of training camp after injuring his ankle/foot during a spring workout. More than halfway through the fantasy football regular season, managers who have kept him stashed on IR are potentially weighing their options as injuries continue to mount around the league. With the emergence of rookie Woody Marks and the loudening rumors that Mixon could miss the entirety of the season, he should no longer be viewed as a must-hold. At the same time, managers with the luxury of an open IR spot should monitor their own league's waivers, as he's dropped in more leagues each week.

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum recorded 13 carries for 58 yards in his team's 34-10 Week 9 win over the New Orleans Saints. After failing to reach double-digit carries in any of his first six games of 2025, Corum has now logged at least 12 rush attempts in each of his last two contests. It's worth noting that Los Angeles notched two straight blowout wins, which could be why Corum is eating into the workload of Rams RB1 Kyren Williams. Still, Corum has earned an efficient 4.6 yards per carry when given the opportunity this season. At worst, he's a high-end handcuff option to Williams, who could be a league-winner if Williams were to suffer an injury. In fantasy leagues where he remains available, Corum should be rostered heading into a Week 10 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.
