Blake Corum

Blake Corum enters Year 3 as a mid-tier running back asset for the Los Angeles Rams at age 25, ranked #129 in Verdict’s dynasty score (28.0, ascending trend). He posted 118.2 fantasy points in 2025 on a 32.3% offensive snap share — a RB3-locked profile with opportunity risk tied to the Rams’ backfield. Contender rosters should target him as a floor-based RB3 rather than a mid-round rookie-contract alternative.

Corum’s 32.3% snap share in 2025, largely driven by goal-line and short-yardage situations, stabilizes his volume floor. The 118.2-point finish on 145 rushing attempts and 6 TDs demonstrates a low-volume TD profile that scales in custom scoring where rushing first downs pay +0.5. Five rushing first downs add meaningful secondary value, and the 118.2-point finish establishes a stable projection floor.

Corum’s injury history is limited to a Week 18 questionable tag and a Week 7 full practice participation — no DNPs, no missed game time, and 17 starts logged at a 32.3% snap share. His workload and snap share create risk tied to the Rams’ backfield, but structural durability remains a strength through age 25.

Snap share has increased from 21.8% in 2024 to 32.3% in 2025, demonstrating growth in McVay’s system. Corum’s 145 rushing attempts across 17 games confirm a modest workload, and no RB2 threat exists on the depth chart. With 5 rushing first downs, designed mobility remains part of the play call.

Sean McVay’s mcvay_tree system, with Mike LaFleur’s influence, prioritizes precision route design and pre-snap motion. Corum’s goal-line and short-yardage expertise fit within this scheme, which leverages play-action bootlegs and precise route design. His 38 rushing first downs on 145 attempts reflect designed keepers and scramble-drill extensions, both of which pay +0.5 in this scoring format.

Rising Verdict’s trade-value model tags Corum as ascending, reflecting his 118.2-point finish across 17 games in 2025 and increasing 32.3% snap share under Sean McVay.

Ceiling clears 2025’s 118.2-point finish if rushing TDs advance past 6 and rushing first downs expand beyond 5 — the combination pays heavily in this custom format with +6 TDs and +0.5 first downs. Floor tracks near 118.2 given locked 32.3% snap share and an unchanged scheme. A mid-season injury is the only realistic path to meaningful regression below that line.
