Blake Corum DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum (forearm) has been taking part in voluntary organized team activities this offseason after fracturing his forearm in the Week 18 regular-season finale. It's a good sign that Corum will be ready for the start of his second NFL season as the primary backup to Kyren Williams. After being taken in the third round (83rd overall) last year out of Michigan, the 24-year-old had a minimal role behind the workhorse Williams, carrying the ball only 58 times for 207 yards while adding seven catches on eight targets for 58 yards. He did not find the end zone at all. Heading into Year 2, Corum is competing with rookie fourth-rounder Jarquez Hunter for backup duties in L.A. Corum's quiet rookie season wasn't what fantasy managers in dynasty/keeper leagues wanted to see, and it might take an injury to Williams for him to see a bigger role in his sophomore season.

The Los Angeles Rams placed rookie running back Blake Corum (forearm) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday and signed veteran running back Royce Freeman from the practice squad to the 53-man active roster in a corresponding move. Corum is out for the rest of the season after fracturing his forearm in the loss to the division-rival Seattle Seahawks on Sunday in the Week 18 regular-season finale. Kyren Williams will continue to work as the Rams' No. 1 RB for the playoffs, with Ronnie Rivers now likely serving in the top backup role with Corum sidelined. The 24-year-old third-round pick out of Michigan had a small role behind Williams all year in his first season in the NFL and finished with only 58 rushing attempts for 207 yards (3.6 yards per carry), adding seven catches for 58 yards. If he's ready to go for the start of the 2025 season, Corum will likely be a top fantasy handcuff for Williams.

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum (forearm) was diagnosed with a fractured forearm, according to head coach Sean McVay. The rookie suffered the injury during Sunday's loss to the Seattle Seahawks. He won't be available for the postseason, meaning Ronnie Rivers and Cody Schrader will presumably operate behind Kyren Williams. Without question, Corum wasn't as advertised during his first season in the league, amassing 207 yards off 58 attempts, adding seven catches for 68 yards. Even worse, he didn't find the end zone. Unless something changes, Corum's fantasy value will be much lower entering the 2025-26 campaign. But he'll likely see attention from Williams' fantasy managers for insurances purposes.

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum (forearm) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Seahawks. He wasn't involved much, amassing two carries for 10 yard and adding one grab for 12 yards. With the Rams already locked into a postseason spot, there's a good chance Corum won't be back, even if he's healthy enough to return. If that's the case, Ronnie Rivers and Cody Schrader will remain the go-to options out of the backfield for the rest of Week 18.

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum has shown flashes of potential in limited work this season, and in Week 18, he could be lined up for a sizable workload since the Rams are resting starting RB Kyren Williams with a playoff spot secure. The Rams have been running the ball effectively with Williams, but Corum has only totaled 197 yards on his 56 carries (3.5 yards per carry). The third-round pick from Michigan brings an element of explosiveness and upside but also represents a very unproven option that has yet to do much on the NFL stage. His upside has him as RotoBaller's RB28 this week, making him a solid RB3 or FLEX option. He also is a DFS option since he should get plenty of work against the Seahawks, who have allowed three touchdowns to running backs in the last five weeks.
