Blake Corum Fantasy Stats

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum handled only six touches in the team's Divisional Round win over the Bears, and in Sunday's Conference Championship, he faces a Seahawks defense that ranked as the most formidable against fantasy running backs in the regular season. In their Divisional Round thrashing of the 49ers, Seattle held MVP finalist Christian McCaffrey to 35 rushing yards and 39 receiving yards on 17 total opportunities. Should Corum find himself drastically out-touched by Kyren Williams as he was against Chicago, he'll need elite efficiency to see any relevance in playoff fantasy leagues -- a tall order, given Seattle's track record. Corum is RotoBaller's RB6 for the week.

Los Angeles running back Blake Corum, who had carved out a healthy role in the Rams' backfield in the second half of the season, saw only six total opportunities to Kyren Williams' 26 in the team's Divisional Round win over the Bears. The narrative heading into the playoffs had been that Los Angeles was saving Williams for the games that mattered most, but a Wild Card win over the Panthers, which saw him out-touch Corum by a much thinner 15 to 13 margin, added uncertainty to how the backfield would be split moving forward. In an overtime win on Sunday that rarely saw Williams come off the field, the Rams may have provided some clarity. Corum is RotoBaller's RB6 for Championship Weekend, while Williams is RB2 for fantasy playoff leagues.

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum split time more evenly with backfield mate Kyren Williams down the stretch of the regular season, and that near-even timeshare continued in the Wild-Card win over the Carolina Panthers last Saturday. Corum had 11 carries for 45 yards and added two catches on two targets for 13 yards. Meanwhile, Williams had 15 total touches. The 25-year-old Michigan product has had double-digit carries in five of his last six games, and even if Williams is the lead back on Sunday in the Divisional Round against the hosting Chicago Bears, Corum should see enough of a role to make him a low-end starting RB option for fantasy managers in playoff leagues. Expected inclement weather in Chicago could also force both teams to run the ball more, which would lead to more work for Corum. During the regular season, the Bears' defense allowed the 10th-most rushing yards (1,772).

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum enjoyed a strong season working in tandem with Kyren Williams. He handled 145 yards for 746 yards and six touchdowns with eight catches (14 targets) for 36 yards as a receiver while suiting up for all 17 games. The second-year back recorded double-digit carries in seven games this season, averaging 65.3 yards per game to go with four touchdowns. With how dynamic Corum has been on his touches, he should continue to split touches with Williams in Saturday's Wild Card game against the Panthers. The Panthers allowed the ninth-highest yards per carry (4.4) this season, and Corum went for 7-81 and a touchdown in the Rams' Week 13 meeting in Carolina. Corum ranks as RotoBaller's RB15 in PPR leagues for Wild Card weekend.

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum broke out in his sophomore campaign, taking 145 carries for 746 yards and six touchdowns to go with eight catches (14 targets) for 36 yards while playing all 17 games. Corum was one of the most efficient backs in the league on a per-carry basis, with his 5.14 yards per carry ranking fifth-highest among running backs with at least 100 carries. He remains the No. 2 running back behind Kyren Williams and has seen more work as a result of the Rams looking to keep Williams fresh for the playoffs. They've formed the most potent running back duo in the league in the Rams' high-powered offense, as Williams ranks first in rushing success rate (62.9%), while Corum ranks second (59.3%), per Fantasy Points Data. Corum should continue to be involved in the Rams' Wild-Card matchup against the Carolina Panthers, who have allowed the 10th-most rushing yards per game (138.3) over the final four weeks of the season. He projects as an RB2/RB3 in fantasy for Saturday's game.

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's Week 18 contest against the Arizona Cardinals. He missed two consecutive practices before logging a limited session on Friday, and he was officially listed as questionable entering this weekend. Corum had exited last Monday's game early, so it's encouraging that he's able to get back onto the field just six days later. He should continue to get involved as the No. 2 running back behind Kyren Williams. Corum has logged 50 carries, 346 rushing yards, and five rushing touchdowns in his last five games. He ranks as a strong RB3/flex option this week.

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum (ankle) will be listed as questionable to play in the team's Week 18 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, per Adam Grosbard of the Los Angeles Daily News. Corum was forced to exit early from his team's Week 17 loss to the Atlanta Falcons after suffering an ankle injury, and missed practice on both Wednesday and Thursday as a result. Heading into Week 17, Corum had recorded a rushing touchdown in four straight games and double-digit touches in three straight contests. While Rams head coach Sean McVay has said the team plans to play its starters in Week 18, Los Angeles is locked into either the No. 5 or 6 seed in the NFC playoffs and may choose to be cautious with Corum. Fellow Rams back Kyren Williams (ankle) is also questionable to play due to an ankle injury, so Los Angeles could be without its top two running backs on Sunday. If both Corum and Williams are sidelined, Ronnie Rivers and Jarquez Hunter would likely handle the team's backfield work in Week 18. McVay said Corum will return to practice on Friday, which will give the team a better indication of whether he'll be ready to play on Sunday.

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum (ankle) was seen working off to the side during the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday, according to Sarah Barshop of ESPN. Corum sprained his ankle in the second quarter of Monday night's loss to the Atlanta Falcons and never returned. The 25-year-old did not practice on Wednesday, putting his availability in question for the Week 18 regular-season finale this weekend against the division-rival Arizona Cardinals. Backfield mate Kyren Williams is also dealing with an ankle injury, but he was limited in Wednesday's practice. The Rams are already locked into either the No. 5 or No. 6 playoff spot in the NFC, so they won't push Corum to play against Arizona if he's not ready. If he's active, he could see a smaller share of the backfield touches in Week 18, making him a shaky RB3/flex option in fantasy right now. UPDATE: Corum officially was listed as a non-participant in practice for the second straight day on Thursday.

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report, per the Los Angeles Daily News' Adam Grosbard. Corum sprained his ankle in the second quarter of Monday night's upset loss to the Atlanta Falcons and never returned. On a short turnaround going into the Week 18 regular-season finale against the division-rival Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, the 25-year-old's status is firmly up in the air. The Rams will only be playing for seeding purposes this weekend, although they plan to play their starters. Still, with Corum not 100%, it wouldn't be a surprise to see him held out. Backfield mate Kyren Williams (ankle) is also banged up with an ankle injury and was listed as limited on Wednesday. If Corum doesn't make much progress and is ruled out for Week 18, Ronnie Rivers would take over as the RB2 in L.A.

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum (ankle) is considered questionable to return for Monday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. Corum limped to the sideline after a two-yard carry in the second quarter and was taken to the locker room. He is uncertain to return with a right-ankle injury. Before exiting, Corum rushed the ball six times for 18 yards on the ground. His absence should mean a larger role for Kyren Williams in the backfield. Ronnie Rivers figures to see more chances as the backup, too, with Corum out of the mix for now. With the Rams down big to begin the second half, it's probably unlikely that we'll see Corum again on Monday night, and the Rams could choose to keep him sidelined for the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Arizona Cardinals as well.
