Who Should I Start? Marshawn Lloyd or Blake Corum

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that rookie running back MarShawn Lloyd (ankle, appendix, hamstring) will go on the Non-Football Injury list, which will knock him out for at least another four games. Lloyd was just activated from Injured Reserve on Monday but will now be forced to miss additional time after having an emergency appendectomy last Friday. The frustrating rookie season continues for the 23-year-old, as he's played in just one game in 2024. He'll be eligible to return in Week 16, which is the semifinals in most fantasy football leagues. Given his injury woes dating back to training camp this summer, Lloyd should only be stashed in dynasty/keeper leagues at this point. His new injury means that Chris Brooks and Emanuel Wilson will continue vying for scraps in the backfield behind starter Josh Jacobs.

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum has seen minimal play on offense and Week 7 was no different. The third-rounder out of Michigan took three carries for 11 yards in the Rams' 20-15 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Kyren Williams has a firm grasp on the top of the running back depth chart in Los Angeles and his production in 2024 doesn't lend reason for head coach Sean McVay to switch things up any time soon. Week 8 brings a Thursday night matchup against the Minnesota Vikings, who are allowing opposing running backs just 72 yards per game. Corum makes for a great bench stash in the event that Williams gets injured and misses time but the rookie belongs nowhere near starting lineups in Week 8.
