Blake Corum

Since Week 7, Blake Corum has averaged ten carries and 44.3 rushing yards. He's a strong flex this week. Corum is in the same area code as Tyler Allgeier weekly, as the 1B in a backfield that could easily work out as a nice fantasy play if he gets in the end zone. Since Week 7, Corum has had 12 red zone carries. He's finally back to the form that he displayed early in his college career. Among 55 qualifying backs, Corum ranks 12th in explosive run rate and missed tackle rate. Corum could rip a big run or two this week and fall into the end zone. Since Week 9, Arizona has allowed the eighth-most rushing yards per game, the second-highest missed tackle rate, and the eighth-highest explosive run rate.

The Panthers' Week 13 win over the Rams might be one of the biggest upsets of the season. Every time it seems as if the Rams have become an unstoppable force, they fall to seemingly inferior opponents. Earlier this season, it was a Thursday Night Football loss to the injury-riddled 49ers. And now, the upset by the Panthers. Despite these surprising losses, the Rams' offense is firing on all cylinders. For weeks, we have seen roughly a 65/35 split in the Rams' backfield between veteran Kyren Williams and second-year man Blake Corum. Week 13 was no different, with Corum playing 17 snaps to Williams' 35, according to Pro Football Focus (PFF). Even though Corum had only seven carries, he finished with 81 rushing yards and a score. Corum has plenty of value as the clear backup to Williams. If anything were to happen to Williams, Corum would become a must-start in all formats.
