RB Blake Corum, LAR (1 Viewer)

[dipandglide]

I'm currently rostering both Corum & Ray Davis in my (3 year) keeper league and am considering dropping either for E. WIlson.

The lean is toward dropping Corum though as he's literally done nothing and I fear even with a Kyren injury, Corum isn't gonna be "The Guy"

I'd keep Corum and Davis over Wilson. Lloyd is coming back, which would muddy Wilson's situation. I see a more straightforward path to upside with Corum/Davis.

I haven't heard anything about when Lloyd might be returning. Not doubting you or anything, but do you happen to have an idea when that might be? Everythig I've seen still says "indefinitely"

I don't know. My guess is in a few weeks. I'd check out X or google and see what you can find.

Good to see him get some totes, signs of life.

He's alive! At first I thought maybe this guy didn't really exist.

 

[RaidersAreOne]

I picked this guy up as a major dart throw. It sounds like he finally got some action this week and beat out Rivers who was RB2 before. Hopefully momentum can continue for him.

I still feel like if Kyren were to miss time, Corum could be a league winner.

 

[pinequick]

I'm going to call BS, Sean.

"I'm excited about watching Blake Corum get a heavy workload," McVay said on the 2024 season finale of the Coach McVay Show with J.B. Long. "... I think Blake has flashed in some of the opportunities that he's gotten."

 

[pinequick]

Just saw him on the sideline in a sling. At least that makes some sense as to why he isn't in there (not that his lack of reps the rest of this season did, though).

I've brought it up several times, but Blake Corum's twitch is very underrated.

Puts an All Pro level LB in Matt Milano on skates.

Would like to see him take this towards the sideline, but impressive play nonetheless.

After playing at 212 last year, Rams RB Blake Corum is back down to 206, the weight he played at his junior year at Michigan. And he is already feeling the difference in burst at training camp

[travdogg]

McVay offenses are notoriously complex (Puka was a massive outlier) so his quiet rookie season isn't THAT concerning to me.

Corum is a favorite end of draft flier for me.

 

[Faust]

Blaine Grisak
Rams RB Blake Corum was much more effective on zone runs last season than man/gap concepts.

Had a 51.6% success rate on zone runs to 32% in man/gap runs. Good example of that here against the Saints.

Sees the cutback lane and quickly gets to the 2nd/3rd level.

Jarquez Hunter is fun and exciting but Blake Corum has looked really good this preseason, too.

Looking like an excellent buy low.

 

[NajehHejan]

Rams offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur said the “plan is to split those up a little bit and distribute” when asked about Kyren Williams’ workload on Wednesday.
“He’s made of all the right stuff. He’s done everything we’ve asked of him, not that we even have to ask too much of him because he’s wired the right way. I thought he had a good preseason. Obviously, we left him out of that third game right there. He’s had a really good training camp. He’ll get his opportunities come Week 1,” LaFleur said about the second-year back from Michigan. Corum probably doesn’t have standalone value at the start of the season, and coaches talk about splitting reps more evenly all the time. But it’s worth monitoring Corum’s workload early in the season to see if he can make a real dent in Kyren Williams’ fantasy value.

 

[ericttspikes]

Tough thing about Corum in dyanasty is he's basically the same age as Kyren. That 3-year extension for Kyren dampened my hopes of Corum getting a shot unless of injury or trade. Addition of 22 year old Hunter didn't help either. Tough hold.

Facing exactly this situation (tough hold) in my Keep 13 league where I need to drop 1 player in order to add a kicker before week 1. (I’m hoping one of my bench players can be placed on IR for the week). I already shipped off Shipley to the Barkley owner for a 4th, and now I have to chose between Corum (KWilliams owner isn’t interested in a trade), Ray Davis (Cook owner doesn’t seem interested in a trade), Giddens (I roster JTaylor), Blue (I roster JWilliams) and Kirk/Meyers/Kyle Williams as well but want to keep them all.

Looking like Corum is lowest man on the totem pole at this point. Thoughts?

I don't believe this is accurate. Corum is #2.

Kyren is a decent injury risk IMHO. These smaller backs don't last forever.

Corum could be a nice buy low or even a waiver pickup if the owner gets bored/impatient. Corum is a good RB with a superior pedigree.

Sorry. I meant lowest man on the totem pole on MY a roster and among my choices for my final roster cut. Thoughts with that in mind?

I'm not a Kirk believer for dynasty purposes. Low ceiling.

If the league is WR heavy than Corum is a reasonable cut.

Thanks. The league is a QRWWWFKD lineups, so we’re only forced to start 1 RB (we’re adding mandatory TE next year, finally, and I have Bowers ready to roll). I’m an old school RB horder so I have a bunch (JTaylor/Giddens, Hampton, JWlliams/Blue, Tuten, Davis, Corum). WRs are Lamb, Olave, Bowers (til TE-mandatory kicks in), Golden/Reed, Kirk, Meyers, Kyle Williams. So I feel pretty solid on both the RB and WR side of things.
Sorry for the WDIS post. Appreciate thoughts from the board.

ETA: I’ll move this to the Dynasty Value thread for a more general player value discussion.

Start him over Gainwell/Tracy this week in PPR?

Tough road matchup in Philly but if there's smoke here he could see some RZ touches.

IDK

Through the first 51 minutes last week he had two opportunities. He had three opportunities in the last nine minutes when the Rams were up 11, he helped put them up by 18 with runs of 15 & 9 yards followed by a 1 yard TD but, he had more returns (3) than opportunities on offense (2) before that.

I would probably go with Gainwell who has seen decent volume to this point in a better matchup. My guess is Kaleb Johnson is in the doghouse for one more week but, I could be wrong about that.

He's still getting double digit touches.

Never understood why people use such pejorative language about athletes they have never known. He may not be a great NFL player but he's good enough to be in the league five seasons and if you were in a room with him he would likely be the best athlete you ever met.

Gainwell IMO is in a tough spot, because he’s firmly entrenched in a committee where his primary competitor for touches (Warren) is a better pass catcher and roughly equal rusher, and there’s a rookie who, while in the dog house, can eat away into the touches as well- and I think the touches Kaleb will get are the touches Gainwell is getting.

Absolutely correct. I just don't think the rookie factors in this week and, Gainwell could see 10 touches again as a result.

Could easily be wrong.

The problem I have is really his other options. Corum is hardly a lock for even another 5 touches, he has 7 in 2 games so far. If you look at how it played out, last week doesn't seem very predictive for this week.

And, I like Tracy but, I think this is a rough matchup which, I think caps his opportunities and it is in the realm of possibility that he has already been supplanted. At the very least a full time share seems like a possibility already. But maybe Daboll was sending a message last week and Tracy gets his groove back this week.

Oh, I missed the context here- yeah I’m rolling with Gainwell over these other options as a low ceiling options that should at least see 10 touches, but I’d feel gross doing so.

He's a liability in the run game. He's only fantasy viable because of Arthur Smith. No other OC would frequently spell Jaylen Warren with Gainwell.

I would say the Pittsburgh run game is a liability under Arthur Smith. I don't think it's a coincidence Jaylen and Gainwell are at career low YPCs.

Jaylen also got 18 touches last week. Not sure how many more you think he should get but, it seems like an RB1 workload.

They are very similar players. I'm not sure about pass blocking, altho I want to say Warren is not bad in that area, if you're doing anything out of shotgun there's no reason to put in Gainwell. He's almost the same but way worse. If Arthur Smith wants to take out Warren for a rest or whatever, he should put in Johnson when Rodgers is under center. In which case youre having a committee of diversity. It's called thunder and lightning not lightning and lightning.

I would take it one step further and say the any offense Smith is involved in will be at a disadvantage under Arthur Smith. I dont think highly of him as a coach.

its not like they have a deep RB room.

I dont love Arthur smith and there are a million things you can pick on him for. I'm not sure this is one of them I'm no gainwell fan either (though I like the pun of a name) but hes a decent backup if nothing else.

Apologies, we got very sidetracked.
