Blake Corum Fantasy Overview

2025 Role & Results

Year 2 Growth

Corum tallied 746 yards and 6 TDs on 145 carries, adding only 8 catches for 36 yards.

Corum finished RB40 in total PPR points across 17 games and RB49 in points per game. He managed one top-12 week and three more finishes between RB18 and RB24, but the floor stayed low with eight weeks at RB50 or worse.

Corum Emerges Later in the Season

Corum looked like a clear No. 2 RB early in the season, posting a 23.4% carry share over the first seven weeks. That came in well behind Kyren Williams at 61.1%.

But after a Week 8 bye, Corum closed the gap to 52.4% vs. 35.9%. He averaged 5.8 carries per game over his first seven games, then hit 10.4 over the final 10.

Williams still controlled the high-value work, beating Corum in carries inside the 20-yard line (51 to 26) and inside the 10 (30 to 16).

Corum never emerged as a pass catcher, with Williams beating him easily in targets (36 to 8) and route rate (56% to 19%).

Corum, Williams Post Similar Efficiency Stats

Here's how the duo compared:

Credit both RBs for ranking at the top of the league in rushing success rate. Williams narrowly topped Corum 62.4% to 60.2%, leading all 49 RBs who carried 100+ times.

Neither back turned in strong efficiency as a receiver. Williams tallied 0.81 yards per route run, 35th out of 42 RBs with 30+ targets. Corum was even worse at 0.40 YPRR.

A Near Perfect Situation

The Rams supplied a strong environment for rushing production, ranking second in situation-neutral pace and eighth in total plays. The O-line was an asset, finishing first in Pro Football Focus run-block grade and second in ESPN’s run-block win rate.

QB Matthew Stafford played all 17 games and guided this offense to the No. 1 finish in points per game (30.5) and yards per game (394.6).

Corum Overcomes Injury History to Play 17 Games

Corum sustained a left MCL sprain and meniscus tear in November 2022, his junior season in college. He returned for an injury-free senior year at Michigan, then played all 17 regular-season games in both 2024 and 2025.

His only pro injury came in January 2025, when a fractured forearm knocked him out of the regular-season finale.

2026 Opportunity & Projection

Will Corum's Role Continue to Grow?

Williams and Corum return to lead the Rams’ backfield.

The Athletic’s Nate Atkins wrote in May that he expects “more of a 50-50 split … with Williams as a primary third-down back and between-the-tackles runner and Corum more of a change-of-pace option…” But Atkins didn’t cite any source, such as a member of the coaching staff.

Corum’s role could grow again in 2026, but we still expect Williams to lead the backfield. Our current projections give Williams a 51.5% carry share vs. 36.5% for Corum. Williams’ extension last offseason plus his career arc suggests he’ll enter the fall as L.A.’s clear lead back.

No Issues With the Surroundings

The Rams return all five starters from an effective O-line. The Rams were particularly strong on the edges last year, with LT Alaric Jackson and RT Warren McClendon ranking top-5 in run block win rate.

The rest of the offense should keep the run game in a good spot. Stafford returns after an MVP-winning 2025. There’s decline risk for a 38-year-old QB, but he showed no obvious cause for concern last year.

Coaching Still a Main Selling Point

HC Sean McVay returns for his 10th season in Los Angeles and will keep play-calling duties over new OC Nate Scheelhaase.

Last year, the Rams shifted to a series-by-series backfield rotation with Williams serving as the starter, a setup that could easily repeat in 2026. That would cap the fantasy upside of both backs.

McVay’s offenses have ranked 19th, 18th, 10th, 9th, and 10th in rush rate since Matthew Stafford arrived, with three top-8 scoring finishes. That offensive stability remains a key part of Corum’s fantasy appeal.

Risk Factors

The greatest risk for Corum is that he repeats his 2026 role and remains an inconsistent fantasy contributor who needs a Williams injury to be startable.

Frankly, you should draft him with that expectation and consider it a pleasant surprise if Corum grows beyond that.
