Week 5 fantasy football waiver wire pickups for Blake Corum, Kendre Miller, Brian Robinson Jr. in 2025. Read their waiver wire outlooks for fantasy football.
We witnessed some great football last week, including multiple solid performances by backup running backs. These RBs are now on the fantasy football radar, with many managers looking to pick them up on the waiver wire.
In this article, we will focus on Blake Corum, Kendre Miller, and Brian Robinson Jr. Corum has averaged almost 40 rushing yards per game in the last three weeks, while Robinson has been a steady backup to Christian McCaffrey. Miller's Saints couldn't beat the Bills last week, but he had a great performance, scoring a touchdown in the loss.
Are Corum, Miller, and Robinson worth adding off the waiver wire in Week 5? Here are the latest outlooks on each for fantasy football.

Corum disappointed many fantasy football fans (and Rams fans in general) in his rookie season, and many thought his days as a fantasy asset were over following a bad performance in Week 1.

However, he has been very solid since then. Corum has recorded 17.3 standard fantasy points since Week 2, which is comparable to some big-name backs such as Derrick Henry (17.8) and Isiah Pacheco (18.5).
Per PFF, Corum's breakaway percentage (25%) ranks in the upper half of players with at least 20 rushing attempts this season, which is a good sign for him. Six of his 23 rushes have been in the 10-15-yard range, and he'll have to break off those types of runs consistently to remain fantasy-relevant as long as Kyren Williams is healthy.
If you already have Williams, Corum can be a great handcuff option for your fantasy team.
Kendre Miller Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

Heading into the 2025 NFL season, almost everyone expected Alvin Kamara to lead this subpar Saints offense, and that's exactly what he's done so far.

He is the only player with over 300 yards from scrimmage on the team (no other player even has more than 205 yards) and leads the team in touches with 78, over double the next closest player. That next closest player isn't Chris Olave or Rashid Shaheed, it's third-year back Miller, who is finally putting his injury setbacks behind him.
Miller's workload has increased steadily in recent weeks, and for a good reason. The Saints are 0-4, one of the three winless teams in the league, and Kamara recently turned 30. They want to protect him while making sure he has enough juice to make the offense watchable, and Miller has done a great job so far as Kamara's backup.
Miller arguably had the best game of his career in Week 4, rushing 11 times for 65 yards and a touchdown against the Bills. He finished as last week's RB18 in standard formats and can take over this backfield if the injury bug strikes Kamara once again. Kamara has averaged just 12 games played per season since 2021.

Many around the league were shocked when the 49ers traded for Robinson. Some thought this was bad news for McCaffrey, but that hasn't been the case so far.
McCaffrey has been the PPR RB1 so far this season and is third in the NFL in scrimmage yards, while Robinson has only had 24 touches so far this season, a far cry from his 14.8 touches per game last year in Washington.
However, the case for adding Robinson to your roster is McCaffrey's complicated injury history. The 49ers are going through yet another injury crisis, but they're still 3-1 and look on their way to return to the playoffs.
McCaffrey has averaged just nine games played per season since 2020, and Robinson has shown that he can be a solid starting back in the NFL. In his last two years in Washington, Robinson put up 357.9 PPR points, the 79th-highest mark in the NFL during that span.
