Blake Corum is a 2024 fantasy football draft sleeper at running back and an ADP draft value. Target Blake Corum as an undervalued RB in fantasy football drafts.
Baller Move: Target Around ~100 overall
ADP: ~117
ANALYSIS: Corum was selected in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft. He had a highly productive collegiate career at the University of Michigan and some believed he was the top rusher in this past draft class.

The Rams have spoken at length about how they intend to scale back last year’s RB1 Kyren Williams’ workload. Los Angeles was prepared to trade out of their third-round pick before they saw Corum falling to them. At that point, the team stayed put and took Corum. This sure sounds like the team is very high on the rookie.
The recent news about Sean McVay’s decision to have Williams serve as the primary punt returner has caused quite a stir in the fantasy football world. While no one knows for sure how this impacts Williams’ status as the clear RB1, it’s not a good sign for his fantasy value.
In this day and age, it’s unheard of for an NFL team to trot their superstar, bell cow RB1 out to field punts and expose them to unnecessary hits. This certainly clouds Williams’ role and fuels speculation Corum will have a larger role than some originally anticipated.
Williams had an all-world 2023, but at some point, we’ve got to follow the breadcrumbs a team is leaving behind. Los Angeles admitted they overworked Williams last year, has said they don’t plan on doing so again, used a Day 2 pick on Corum, then announced Williams will be the team’s punt returner. All signs point to Corum having some kind of role in this offense.
Take Williams’ injury history into consideration and Corum becomes a priority handcuff in all drafts and could even offer stand-alone value. Don’t leave your draft without him.
