News: 2 days agoCorum carried the ball 11 times for 58 yards and a touchdown and failed to catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Commanders.

Spin: The Rams' backfield has become a full-fledged timeshare, with Corum getting double-digit carries for a third straight game and out-producing Kyren Williams on the ground in Washington. Corum has gotten into the end zone in all three of those contests, punching in a one-yard score in the third quarter Sunday, and over that stretch he's amassed 224 rushing yards and three TDs while averaging 5.7 yards a carry. With Puka Nacua (knee) headed for an MRI, the Rams could lean even more heavily on their ground attack in a Week 10 tilt against the Cardinals.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Corum has spent his first two NFL seasons as Kyren Williams' backup, and that's expected to be the case again in 2026. The 2024 third-round NFL draft pick played well in the role last season, averaging a healthy 5.1 yards per carry (seventh among RBs) and scoring six touchdowns on 145 carries. However, Corum played only 29% of the Rams' snaps and remained a nonfactor as a receiver (36 yards on 14 targets). The 25-year-old has no standalone fantasy value, but he's an elite insurance stash, as he'd launch into the fringe-RB1 mix in the Rams' high-powered offense should Williams miss time.
