The Los Angeles Rams rolled up 530 yards of offense, including 249 yards on the ground, in their 45-17 Week 14 demolition of the Arizona Cardinals. Blake Corum led LA's backfield, rushing for a career-best 128 yards and 2 TDs. Despite splitting carries with Kyren Williams, Corum has rushed for 209 yards and 3 TDs in his last two games, cementing his status as one of the top players to add for the fantasy playoffs.

The Cardinals jumped out to a 7-0 lead after scoring on their opening drive, but it was all Rams after that.
Los Angeles drove 60 yards in 10 plays on their first drive, capped off by a 26-yard field goal.
As usual, Kyren Williams got the start and was in on most of the Rams' first drive. Williams got the ground game going early, churning out 30 yards on his first 3 carries before taking a breather. Corum then came in and broke off runs of 6 and 18 yards before the drive stalled.
We then saw the Rams go back to their rotation on their second drive, which featured Corum. He rushed 4 times for 24 yards on the drive, capped off by a 2-yard TD to put the Rams up for good.
Williams came back in for the next drive, and the Rams stuck to their two-back rotation until they called off the dogs in the fourth quarter after Corum went untouched for a 48-yard TD to put the Rams up 45-10.
The approach was highly effective. Corum had his best game, and Williams rushed 13 times for 84 yards and a TD.
Corum's 12 rushes were tied for his second-most attempts in a game this season. Despite the gaudy production, Corum's usage remained stable. Against the Cardinals, he played 31% of LA's snaps and accounted for 36% of the team's carries. That's more or less in line with his season-long figures.
The Rams did bring in Ronnie Rivers for mop-up duties in the fourth quarter, however.
Williams had only one more carry than Corum.
Sean McVay has stated that the Rams are keeping Williams fresh for the NFL playoffs. That opens the door for Corum to continue to have a significant role down the stretch.
Corum was a priority in last week's waiver targets and remains one of the top targets to add for the fantasy playoffs.
