Blake Corum 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook
Blake Corum 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook
Kyren Williams was a fantasy football sensation in 2023. But he’s a former late-round pick who tested with subpar athleticism and is undersized. It wasn’t shocking to see the Rams go out and use a Day 2 pick on a running back. I’m not saying Blake Corum is going to come in and push Williams aside and become the RB1 in Los Angeles right out the shoot. I’m not saying that’s not going to happen, either, but that’s a conversation for a different day. My thoughts on Kyren Williams are well documented at this point.
Elite Handcuff
But let’s just say Williams remains the RB1. That makes Corum potentially the No. 1 handcuff running back in all of fantasy football. And Williams dealt with a number of injuries that forced him to miss games in 2023. He is not built for the full-time workload he was receiving. So it seems inevitable that he will miss games. That will open the door for Corum to step into the RB1 chair. We know Sean McVay tends to lean heavily on whoever is his starting running back. In fact, Williams led all running backs in both touches per game and snap share last year. If that is Corum for any stretch of time, he’s going to receive a ton of touches, much like he did over the last couple years at Michigan.
Future RB1?
And that might be all it takes for Corum to take over the backfield altogether, even once Williams is healthy. That’s because Corum is just a better fit for what the Rams want from the running back position. He’s big, he’s tough, he’s athletic. He runs hard, protects the football, and can keep quarterback Matthew Stafford upright in pass protection.

Corum is a proven talent who is just waiting for his opportunity. Whenever that comes, he will be the bellcow running back with a 75%+ opportunity share in one of the league’s most explosive offenses. There are going to be red zone and end zone opportunities for whoever is leading this backfield.
Once the double-digit rounds of fantasy drafts come along, Blake Corum needs to move to the top of your priority list. He has league-winner written all over him.
