Blake Corum vs. BUF — High-Scoring Showdown but Limited Standalone Value
Corum operates as the secondary option in the Rams' backfield behind Kyren Williams. After early talk of an even split, Corum's opportunities have slowed with only 11 carries over his past two outings, sparking recent team beat reports noting Los Angeles needs more production out of him. With third-string back Ronnie Rivers on injured reserve, Corum's role as the direct backup is rock-solid, but his touch volume remains capped.
This week brings an explosive home matchup against Buffalo with high scoring potential. However, our projection pegs Corum for roughly 9.5 carries and 46 rushing yards with minimal receiving work, translating to 7.4 fantasy points. Fantasy managers have kept him started in only about 13% of leagues, and until his red-zone or passing-down usage expands, Corum is best reserved for the bench in standard formats.

Darius Cooper Looking to Build on Red-Zone Touchdown Surge in London
Darius Cooper broke out with two touchdowns on seven targets against the Rams, flashing impressive contested-catch ability with Jalen Hurts. Operating in Philadelphia's receiver rotation behind Dontayvion Wicks, Cooper could see a noticeable uptick in routes in London against Jacksonville if DeVonta Smith is sidelined with a hamstring injury.
His fantasy value is currently riding high on extreme red-zone efficiency, turning three of his five receptions this year into scores. Our weekly projection slots him for around 2.6 catches and 33 receiving yards (7.4 fantasy points), making him an intriguing deep-league flex dart throw rather than a reliable weekly starter.
