Analyze Blake Corum's matchup for week 11
Corum’s three-game streak of 10+ touches, 4.3 YPC spike, and Seattle’s 19th-ranked run D make him a low-end FLEX with RB2 upside if game flow or a Kyren Williams injury tilts the backfield.
The Seahawks are allowing 106.1 rush yards per game and eight rushing TDs, and their banged-up front has struggled against committee attacks. In a pivotal 6-2 NFC-West showdown, expect Los Angeles to lean on the ground to control clock and keep Geno Smith off the field, giving Corum 10–15 touches and a real chance at his first 2025 score.
After an invisible rookie year, Corum has logged 13-56 in Week 10 and three straight games of double-digit carries; his snap share and YPC (4.3 last week) are climbing while Kyren Williams maintains lead duties.
The most important development for Corum’s fantasy value is the Rams’ clear shift to a committee. Sean McVay has now fed the second-year back 36 total touches across Weeks 8-10, a stark contrast to his sporadic 2024 usage. That volume security is the baseline for FLEX viability in 12-team formats, and it doesn’t require an injury to Williams—merely game script that favors ball control. Seattle’s run defense is ripe for exploitation: they’ve surrendered the 12th-most fantasy points to RBs, rank 19th in rushing yards allowed, and have been stuck in flux along the interior line with Bryan Mone and Jarran Reed nursing injuries. Corum’s patient, one-cut style fits perfectly against Seattle’s penetrating front seven; if he reaches the second level, linebacker tackling issues could spring chunk gains. Finally, division games historically feature elevated rushing totals because both sides lean on physicality and clock management—exactly the environment where a 10-15 touch back can pay off. Touchdown regression is overdue after 74 touches without a score; the Rams own a 56% red-zone rush rate, and Corum’s 6’0”, 215-pound frame is built for goal-line work. All told, he offers a safe 6-8-point floor with 15-20-point upside if he finds pay-dirt, making him an easy plug-and-play FLEX during bye-week crunches and a priority bench hold for the stretch run.
