Gets into end zone Thursday
Corum rushed 14 times for 48 yards and a touchdown and brought in one of two targets for 13 yards in the Rams' 38-37 overtime loss to the Seahawks on Thursday night.
Analysis: Corum still logged nine fewer carries than backfield mate Kyren Williams, but he was the only one of the two to get into the end zone. Corum scored his sixth touchdown of the season on a one-yard run in the third quarter directly following an interception of Sam Darnold, and the second-year back logged a career-high carry total. Corum has now recorded double-digit rush attempts in three straight games and has scored five times over the last four contests, giving him plenty of standalone value…read more

Punches in fifth TD this season
Corum took 11 carries for 71 yards and a touchdown without garnering a target in Sunday's 41-34 win over Detroit.
Analysis: Corum kept up his recent string of hot play in fantasy by scoring his fifth touchdown of the season in the second half of Sunday's shootout win. Four of the five scores have come over the talented backup's last three appearances, a span in which he is also averaging 9.3 yards per carry. Kyren Williams (15-78-2) is still the lead back for the Rams, and Corum's value is being boosted by some favorable situations combined with unsustainable efficiency. Fantasy managers should continue to ride…read more

Another inflated line in Week 14
Corum posted 128 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 12 carries while catching his only target for three yards in Sunday's 45-17 rout of the Cardinals.
Analysis: Corum was able to take advantage of starter Kyren Williams' brief absence in Week 13 in order to elevate his game in the loss to the Panthers. The talented backup benefited from a favorable game script Sunday that afforded him the opportunity to pad his stats in garbage time of the blowout win over the Cardinals. That said, Corum did score the first of his two touchdowns when the game was closer in the first half. The Michigan product has carved out a nice role behind Williams this season, but…read more

Big day in Week 13 loss
Corum carried the ball seven times for a team-high 81 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Panthers.
Analysis: His TD came on a two-yard plunge right before halftime after Kyren Williams left the game to get his ankle checked out. Williams was back in the lineup to begin the second half and wound up with 72 rushing yards and a score of his own, and after the contest he indicated that he's not concerned about the ankle being a lingering issue. Even so, the Rams had already been increasing Corum's workload in recent weeks, so Williams' ankle might give them an excuse to move the backfield toward more of a…read more

Meager output in victory
Corum rushed seven times for 24 yards during Sunday's 34-7 victory against the Buccaneers.
Analysis: While the final score was another blowout win for the Rams, Tampa Bay successfully snuffed out the Rams' rushing attack; Corum and Kyren Williams combined for just 70 yards and no touchdowns on 19 attempts. After seeing double-digit touches for a three-week stretch, Corum's usage has dropped the past two weeks, with just 15 rushing attempts for 34 yards in that span. The Rams travel to take on the Panthers in Week 13, and they have been middle-of-the-road against the run in 2025, surrendering…read more

Turns nine touches into five yards
Corum rushed eight times for 10 yards and caught one of two targets for minus-5 yards in Sunday's 21-19 win over the Seahawks.
Analysis: Corum has recorded at least nine touches in each of the past four games, but he isn't a threat to Kyren Williams' spot atop the running back depth chart. Williams mustered 96 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 12 carries and two targets Sunday. Corum will likely continue to fill a change-of-pace role in Week 12 against the Buccaneers.

Remains involved against SF
Corum took 13 carries for 56 yards without being targeted as a receiver in Sunday's 42-26 win over San Francisco.
Analysis: Corum received double-digit touches for the third game in a row as the Rams' offense continued to toy with opposing defenses. Kyren Williams (14-73-2) still led the Rams' backfield in production while maintaining his elite fantasy status, but Corum has quietly carved out a consistent change-of-pace role during Los Angeles' hot stretch of play. With just one touchdown over nine appearances, the talented backup's recent increase in playing time only benefits those in deeper formats for next…read more

Benefits from blowout win
Corum recorded 13 rushes for 58 yards in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Saints.
Analysis: Corum logged a season-high 13 carries, 10 of which came in the second half while the Rams were up multiple scores. However, his longest rush came midway through the second quarter, when he ripped off a 21-yard rush off right end. Corum remains the clear backup to Kyren Williams, though his weekly volume is dependent on game script, making him difficult to trust as a starting fantasy option.

Gets extra work in blowout win
Corum (ankle) rushed 12 times for 37 yards and caught his lone target for six yards in Sunday's 35-7 win over the Jaguars.
Analysis: Corum was able to work back from an ankle injury that limited him during the practice week in order to suit up for Sunday's overseas tilt in London. The 24-year-old wound up handling a season-high 12 carries, matching starter Kyren Williams (12-54-0) in a game dominated by Los Angeles' passing attack. It is important to note that half of Corum's carries came late in the fourth quarter with the game well out of reach, so this was unlikely a changing of the guard in the Rams' backfield.

Set to suit up in Week 7
Corum (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game versus the Jaguars in London, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
Analysis: Corum progressed from no activity Wednesday to a limited session Thursday and eventually all on-field work Friday, and his lack of Week 7 designation implies his ankle injury isn't much of a concern. Working as L.A.'s No. 2 RB behind Kyren Williams this season, Corum's snap share has ranged from nine to 30 percent on a weekly basis, resulting in 5.3 touches for 27.5 yards from scrimmage per game to go with one rushing TD in six contests.

Upgrades to limited Thursday
Corum (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Analysis: This is a step in the right direction for Corum, who didn't practice Wednesday after sustaining an ankle injury in the Rams' Week 6 win over the Ravens. How Corum fares in practice Friday will go a long way in determining his ability to suit up Sunday morning against the Jaguars in London. Even if Corum plays, it would be in a reserve role behind Kyren Williams.

Won't practice Wednesday
Rams coach Sean McVay said Corum (ankle) will not practice Wednesday, Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Corum is considered day-to-day due to an ankle injury he sustained during Los Angeles' win over Baltimore in Week 6. He was able to retake the field versus the Ravens after being evaluated, but Corum's status for Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars nonetheless looks uncertain and figures to be reliant on the extent of his activity at practice Thursday and Friday. If Corum misses any time, rookie fourth-rounder Jarquez Hunter will likely get a chance to handle added reserve opportunities behind…read more

Ankle injury lingers
Rams coach Sean McVay said Monday that Corum (ankle) is day-to-day despite having been cleared to retake the field during Sunday's 17-3 win over Baltimore, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
Analysis: Corum briefly exited Sunday's win in the second quarter due to an ankle injury and was initially labeled as questionable, but he managed to return to action after halftime and finish the day with five carries for 23 yards. Only one of those carries came after his return, however. The second-year pro doesn't have clean bill of health yet, but the fact that he was able to return versus the Ravens lends credence to the notion that he'll be able to play in Week 7 against the Jaguars and handle his…read more

Cleared for second half
Corum (ankle) was cleared to return to Sunday's game against the Ravens to begin the second half, Erin Andrews of Fox Sports reports.
Analysis: Though he didn't log a carry or draw a target on the Rams' first possession to begin the third quarter that culminated in a Kyren Williams three-yard touchdown run, Corum looks like he's available to play through the ankle injury that forced him to the locker room in the second quarter. Prior to leaving the sideline to receive treatment, Corum carried four times for 14 yards in the first half.

Exits game with ankle injury
Corum is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Ravens due to an ankle injury.
Analysis: Corum was taken to the locker room in the second quarter after sustaining the injury, though it's unclear when he got hurt. The second-year player had carried four times for 14 yards prior to exiting the contest. If Corum is ruled out for the remainder of the game, rookie fourth-round Jarquez Hunter would be next up for backup snaps behind starting running back Kyren Williams.

Season-low six snaps in loss
Corum rushed once for 13 yards and failed to secure either of his two targets during Thursday's 26-23 overtime loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Corum's six snaps on offense represents the first time this season he's failed to crack the double-digit marker. Kyren Williams returned to fully dominating the timeshare, playing 62 snaps and garnering a total of 22 touches. Williams did have a costly fumble late in the fourth quarter and was stuffed on fourth-and-1 to end the game in overtime, but the momentum clearly seems to be shifting towards him reclaiming his monstrous usage of last season.

Held to 16 yards on 11 touches
Corum rushed nine times for 21 yards and caught two of four targets for a loss of five yards in Sunday's 27-20 win over Indianapolis.
Analysis: Kyren Williams handled the bulk of backfield touches for Los Angeles as per usual, finishing with 94 yards from scrimmage on 16 touches. Corum still saw strong touch volume, but he failed to produce much with his opportunities. The nine carries marked a new high for the Michigan product through four games in 2025, but Corum doesn't provide enough upside in his current backup role to warrant starting consideration against the 49ers on Thursday.

Mixes in with Williams again
Corum recorded eight rushes for 53 yards in Sunday's 33-26 loss to the Eagles. He also returned five kicks for 115 yards.
Analysis: Corum mixed in with Kyren Williams for most of the first half to match a career high with eight carries. Williams was still the clear lead back with 22 total touches, though Corum's role is expanding, and he looks to have earned the trust of the coaching staff to earn meaningful touches. Corum appears to be one of the top backup running back options around the league.

Scores on goal-line run
Corum rushed five times for 44 yards and a touchdown and returned three kicks for 80 yards during Sunday's 33-19 victory against the Titans.
Analysis: Corum's first career touchdown in the NFL came on a one-yard rush, pushing his way into the end zone to solidify an already productive day for the former third-round pick. He picked up big yardage on most of his other runs, including a 15-yard scamper in the third quarter that set up a Davis Allen touchdown on the next play. Corum was on the field for 18 snaps on offense, a significant boost from last week's 10, and Kyren Williams struggled for the second straight week, managing just 66 yards…read more

Logs two touches in backup role
Corum rushed once for two yards and secured his only target for 14 yards during Sunday's 14-9 victory against the Texans.
Analysis: The second-year back started his 2025 campaign in a similar fashion to his role at the end of his rookie year, seeing the field for just 10 snaps and making little impact on the game. Notably, Jarquez Hunter (coach's decision) was inactive for the game, while Cody Schrader was used only on special teams, leaving the backup role to Kyren Williams seemingly Corum's to lose. The Rams' next contest is against a Titans squad that allowed 153 yards rushing to the Broncos in Week 1.

Corum recorded four rushes for 22 yards in Saturday's 23-22 preseason win over the Chargers.

Two TDs in preseason opener
Corum rushed nine times for 32 yards and two touchdowns while catching one of two targets for four yards in Saturday's 31-21 preseason win over the Cowboys.

He capped the Rams' first two drives with touchdown runs of two and four yards. Rookie fourth-round draft pick Jarquez Hunter, who is competing with Corum for the second spot on the depth chart behind Kyren Williams, had 41 yards on 11 carries.

Corum fractured his forearm in Sunday's 30-25 loss to the Rams and will be sidelined for the entire postseason, coach Sean McVay said after the game, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The Rams secured the No. 4 seed in the NFC at 10-7, but Corum's rookie season comes to a close at the end of the regular season due to an injury that will keep him out at least through the playoffs. A more concrete recovery timeline will likely be established in the coming days.

Could get large workload Sunday
Corum appears primed to handle an expanded role in Sunday's game against the Seahawks, after head coach Sean McVay acknowledged Monday that the Rams are planning to rest key players such as Kyren Williams in the regular-season finale, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports. "There's a handful of guys that could come to mind immediately, but I'm excited about seeing Blake Corum get a heavy workload," McVay said, when speaking about the Rams' approach for Week 18. "I'm excited to see what Cody Schrader is about. I've loved what I've seen from him in some of these practice settings. I think Blake has flashed in some of the opportunities that he's gotten."
Analysis: Though they can secure the No. 3 seed in the NFC playoffs with a win Sunday, the Rams are assured a home game in the wild-card round regardless of how Week 18 action shakes out. McVay suggested that the Rams are content to prioritize rest and injury avoidance to key players rather than going all in on moving up a spot in the standings, so Williams is an obvious candidate to be a healthy inactive for the contest or play only limited snaps. While Williams has handled a three-down workhorse role…read more

Analysis: The rookie's role on offense has continually deteriorated over the past five weeks, with his three snaps on offense his lowest usage since he saw just a single offensive snap in Week 9 against the Seahawks.

Corum rushed five times for 14 yards during Sunday's 19-9 victory against the Jets.
Analysis: The rookie running back ripped off a 32-yard run in the second quarter, only to see it negated by a penalty on TE Hunter Long. Corum was left with his typical numbers otherwise, seeing just nine snaps on offense while Kyren Williams set a season high with 122 yards rushing on 23 attempts, including his 15th touchdown on the year. With the Rams looking to clinch a playoff spot next week, expect Corum's role to continue to remain limited in a Week 17 matchup against the Cardinals.

Corum had three carries for five yards and brought in two of three targets for 15 yards in the Rams' 12-6 win over the 49ers on Thursday night.
Analysis: Kyren Williams logged 29 carries for the second time in four days, so there wasn't much left over for Corum on the ground after he'd recorded eight rush attempts in both of the previous two contests. The rookie did set new career highs in receptions and receiving yards, albeit with modest totals.

Corum rushed the ball eight times for 34 yards in Sunday's 44-42 win over the Bills.
Analysis: Corum's role in the offense remained elevated, as his eight rushing attempts matched his highest mark of the season. However, he remains the clear backup to Kyren Williams, who saw 31 total touches in Sunday's win. That leaves Corum as valuable insurance to Williams, but he has very little standalone fantasy value for now.

Season-high rushing total
Corum rushed eight times for 42 yards during Sunday's 21-14 victory against the Saints.
Analysis: It was a day of career highs for Corum, as he was on the field for nearly a third (18 of 56) of the Rams' snaps on offense. Kyren Williams, who had been struggling with fumbles in recent weeks, responded with an excellent 15-104-1 rushing line on the day, with the yardage representing a season high. While Corum's role did increase, Williams still handled the bulk of the workload, capping the rookie's upside heading into a Week 14 showdown against the Bills.

Just one carry in defeat
Corum rushed once for five yards during Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: Corum's single touch on offense was the rookie's lowest usage since Week 9 against the Seahawks. The biggest story for Corum's fantasy managers was Kyren Williams fumbling twice, with one of those recovered by the Eagles. The two fumbles brought Williams' total to five in the last seven games, and the recurring ball security issues might give Corum a chance to gain more of a role in the backfield if they continue. A susceptible Saints defense is up next in Week 13.

Corum rushed five times for 21 yards and caught his only target for seven yards during Sunday's 28-22 victory over the Patriots.
Analysis: Corum was on the field for 10 of the Rams' 52 snaps on offense, but Kyren Williams still maintained his dominance of the snap share and actually produced his best game of the year in regards to YPC. The rookie did muster the only reception by a running back for the Rams during the game, but his role seems to be stagnant as the Rams prepare to host the Eagles in Week 12.

Corum rushed twice for eight yards and caught his only target for seven yards during Sunday's 23-15 loss to the Dolphins.
Analysis: Kyren Williams wasn't his usual self in this contest, earning just 15 carries for 62 yards while also losing a fumble, but that didn't lead to an expanded role for Corum, who saw the field for just five snaps on offense. The Patriots, who held the Bears to just three points this week, are up next for Corum and the Rams in Week 11, and Williams seems likely to continue to dominate the snap count at running back.

Analysis: Kyren Williams left the field for only a single play out of the 77 the Rams ran on offense, even during overtime. Corum hasn't shown much in his limited usage, although he did see some action as a kick returner with marginal success. Williams struggled a bit in the victory, managing only 3.1 YPC and no touchdowns on his 22 carries, but Corum's role seems unlikely to change heading into a Week 10 Monday night showdown against the Dolphins.

Corum rushed four times for nine yards and caught his lone target for nine yards during Thursday's 30-20 victory against the Vikings.
Analysis: Corum's five touches came on just eight snaps on offense, but the rookie out of Michigan averaged just 2.4 YPC. Kyren Williams once again dominated the backfield with 97 yards on 23 carries and has shown no signs of slowing down. On the season, Corum's 20-73-0 line on the ground isn't particularly inspiring, but he'll try to bounce back in a divisional showdown with the Seahawks in Week 9.

Corum rushed three times for 11 yards during Sunday's 20-15 victory over the Raiders.

Surprisingly, both Corum and Williams were blanked as pass catchers.

Analysis: Corum's second in-game action on offense was much more impactful than his garbage time usage in Week 2, as he was featured in the Rams' second drive of the game. He led off with a 12-yard rush and ended up with five touches on the drive before Kyren Williams came in and scored a short one-yard touchdown.
