News: 16 hours agoCorum recorded eight rushes for 53 yards in Sunday's 33-26 loss to the Eagles. He also returned five kicks for 115 yards.

Spin: Corum mixed in with Kyren Williams for most of the first half to match a career high with eight carries. Williams was still the clear lead back with 22 total touches, though Corum's role is expanding, and he looks to have earned the trust of the coaching staff to earn meaningful touches. Corum appears to be one of the top backup running back options around the league.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Corum enters his second NFL season likely to play a larger role after being limited to 65 touches as a rookie. The 2024 third-round pick opened the season third on the Rams' depth chart and, though he eventually passed Ronnie Rivers, he was never a threat to Kyren Williams' feature-back role. Corum wasn't overly impressive as a rookie, but he makes for an intriguing insurance stash, because Williams has totaled a massive 663 touches (third most) over the past two seasons, including the playoffs. Should Williams miss time, Corum would likely share the Rams' backfield with rookie Jarquez Hunter. He's barely worth a late-round flier.
