Blake Corum 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook: Rising Rookie Is A Valuable Handcuff In Year 1
6 months agoBlake Corum was drafted by the Los Angeles Rams in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft to help ease Kyren Williams' workload. Williams is already set to miss OTAs with a "foot issue" but Sean McVay says the RB is expected for training camp. The red flags there have elevated the rookie's buzz this summer. The 5-foot-8 Corum showed immense power behind Michigan's stout offensive line, totaling nearly 60 touchdowns in 49 games across three starting seasons. Most swoon over 27 rushing TDs in '23 but his 4.8 yards per carry was a drop from 5.9 the year before. Volume is no concern here as Corum topped 250 touches as both a junior and senior, though he was rarely involved as a receiver. If that more effective rusher seen at Michigan in 2022 meets a starting opportunity within McVay's creative rushing scheme then top-10 weeks are possible. Corum's half-PPR ADP has risen into the first 10 rounds of 12-team drafts as of early June to go with a RotoBaller rank of 136.
