Rams Rookie RB Blake Corum Breaks Arm
1 month ago

The Los Angeles Rams lose rookie running back Blake Corum for the entire postseason after he breaks his forearm in Week 18 of the 2024 season.

Rookie running back Blake Corum for the Los Angeles Rams will sit out the team’s playoff run after he broke his forearm. This hurts the depth at running back for the Rams as they make a run at the Super Bowl. Starting back Kyren Williams has been real reliable appearing in 16 games this season, only sitting out the last game of the year as the Rams had the division and a playoff spot locked up. Corum finished the season with 207 rushing yards on 58 carries along with 7 catches for 58 receiving yards and 0 overall touchdowns. Corum should be healthy going into next season.

 

Corum was a disappointing fantasy pick this season, luckily there is always next season. Kyren Williams staying healthy all season with his workload was lucky. Corum should have more opportunities next season with another offseason in this offense and he looks to be the top back should Williams goes down with injuries.

Kyren Williams: Set to Return Punts for the Rams
5 months ago

Head Coach Sean McVay says punt returning will allow Kyren Williams another way to get touches, while the presence of Blake Corum and Ronnie Rivers led to the decision.

This isn’t a joke. The running back going as the RB8 ahead of Derrick Henry on Underdog will be the primary punt returner for the L.A. Rams- woof! Alarm bells regarding Williams’ 2024 fantasy production were raised when the Rams prioritized drafting Blake Corum in the 3rd round of the 2024 draft, and this latest report adds further risk that Williams won’t see a bellcow role in 2024 to justify his hefty price tag.

 

Blake Corum continues to be one of the most intriguing targets in 2024 fantasy drafts. Corum already posed huge potential contingent upside if Williams were injured, and returning punts will add to the likelihood Williams misses time during the 2024 season. This report also signals that McVay plans to have Corum involved in the offense even if Williams remains healthy. As it currently stands, fantasy managers should fade Williams and capitalize on the value of Blake Corum.

McVay Impressed with Blake Corum
7 months ago

The rookie running back Blake Corum continues to impress Sean McVay during minicamp.

Off-season mandatory mini camps are underway, and one rookie continues to stand out, Blake Corum. Corum is continuing to learn the offense and showing great maturity while taking advantage of the extra reps while teammate Kyren Williams is rehabbing his injury. Sean McVay has this to say about Corum, “On the offensive side, I have been pleased with a lot of guys, but Blake Corum has really stood out. (He is) Mature beyond his years. I love the way that he handles himself. I love even more how when there have been a couple of things that did not go the way we wanted, how he responded the next play. The mental toughness that you see from him. (RB Coach) Ron Gould is excellent with that room. Even (RB) Kyren (Williams) in his own way has done such a great job of imparting a certain amount of wisdom with him.”

 

A lot of folks were uncertain about Corum landing in LA as a fantasy football prospect. With the high praise and ethic he has put in, Corum has a chance to cement himself into the offense. Allowing him to have some redraft consideration as well as a strong dynasty running back for those looking for a steal or in their rookie drafts.

Kyren Williams missing OTAs- Blake Corum Being Asked to Develop 3-Down Skillset
8 months ago

Los Angeles Rams lead running back Kyren Williams will be out until training camp with a foot injury, which has forced rookie Blake Corum into additional responsibilities during OTAs.

Corum’s fantasy stock will undoubtedly be on the rise with the news of Sean McVay asking him to further develop his game in terms of receiving and pass protection. Corum scored 27 rushing touchdowns last year at Michigan, so many experts expected him to potentially have a goal line role for the Rams following the 2024 NFL Draft. His fantastic collegiate production, 3rd round draft capital, along with these reports coming from OTAs officially vault Corum into “elite-handcuff” status, at a minimum.

 

The Rams have a tremendous offensive scheme that propelled Kyren Williams to be a top-7 ppr running back in 2023, which is especially extraordinary considering he only played in 12 games. Williams has a lack of size and elite athleticism that leave him more susceptible to injuries than your typical bell-cow, making his offseason best ball ADP of 22 seemingly high. Fantasy Managers can expect Williams to drop a bit in ADP while Corum rises.

 

Corum is an intriguing option in all formats and possesses high-end upside if Williams misses any time in the 2024 regular season.

Kyren Williams has added competition with Rams Drafting Blake Corum
9 months ago

Kyren Williams may receive fewer opportunities, particularly in the red zone.

The Los Angeles Rams selected Blake Corum in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Last season, Kyren Williams carried a heavy workload while being one of the most productive running backs in the league. Corum stood out as a player at Michigan and was a huge part of their championship culture.

 

Head Coach Sean McVay said in a conference after the NFL draft. “Obviously I love Kyren and he’s been so important, and just the human being, but then also when you just look at the way he works at it, the production, and the things that he was able to bring to our offense last year, and even really some of the things that he worked through his rookie year. I think there’s a lot of similarities.”

 

McVay believes Williams will be a “great mentor” for Corum, and the Rams have the 1-2 punch they were missing last season.

 

Kyren Williams’ managers may have cause for concern with Blake Corum’s touchdown-scoring ability at Michigan, as he has scored 56 rushing touchdowns, the most in program history. Right now it sounds like Williams has the majority of touches in this backfield but fantasy managers shouldn’t be surprised to see Blake Corum come in the game near the goalline ultimately capping Kyren’s upside. This backfield situation will be something to monitor in the offseason as well as weekly, in the regular season.

The Los Angeles Rams Have Drafted Former Michigan Running Back Blake Corum with the 83rd pick in the 2024 NFL Draft
9 months ago

The Los Angeles Rams have drafted former Michigan running back Blake Corum with the 83rd pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

The Los Angeles Rams have drafted former Michigan running back Blake Corum with the 83rd pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Corum helped lead the Wolverines to a national championship. Corum, who completely took over the Wolverine backfield in 2022, smashed in his 2 years as the starter, rushing for 2708 yards and 45 touchdowns on the ground alone.

 

 

Corum will provide the Rams with a great one-two punch with 2023 RB7 Kyren Williams. Not the most ideal landing spot for Corum and his fantasy outlook, as he will likely be a change of pace back his first season with the Rams.
