Corum Steps Up: Rams' Backup RB Shines in Loss
7 Dec
Summary
- Blake Corum had a career-best game with 81 yards and a touchdown.
- Corum's explosive rate is second among RBs with at least 50 carries.
- Kyren Williams' ankle injury is not serious; he will play Week 14.
In a recent NFC West matchup, the Los Angeles Rams faced an unexpected defeat against the Panthers, snapping their six-game winning streak. Despite the team's loss, backup running back Blake Corum achieved a personal milestone, recording a career-high 81 rushing yards and a touchdown.
Corum's performance highlighted his potential, particularly his high explosive run rate, which ranks second among running backs with 50 or more carries this season. He had been a consistent contributor, averaging over 10 carries in recent games prior to this past Sunday's outing.
While Corum's recent contributions and explosive ability are notable, fantasy managers should temper expectations for Week 14. Starting running back Kyren Williams is expected to play, despite a minor ankle issue, limiting Corum's touches and potential for another standout performance.
