Blake Corum vs. BUF — Limited Workload Leaves Him as a Bench Stash in Potential Shootout

Corum continues to operate as the change-of-pace back behind Kyren Williams on the depth chart. While Los Angeles previously aimed for a shared backfield, Corum's volume has slipped over the past two weeks with only 11 carries for 29 yards, prompting recent team reports noting the offense needs more efficiency from him. With reserve back Ronnie Rivers on injured reserve, Corum is firmly locked into the backup role.

Facing Buffalo in an expected high-scoring matchup, our weekly projection anticipates roughly 9.5 carries and 46 rushing yards (7.4 fantasy points). With just a 13% start rate across leagues, fantasy managers are rightly hesitant to trust his standalone usage. Corum is best kept on the bench this week, though he remains a priority bench stash.
