Analyze Blake Corum's matchup for week 9
Corum has averaged 3.0 fantasy points over his last five games while playing fewer than 10 snaps per week behind Kyren Williams; even a middling Saints run defense can’t rescue a back who needs a TD on 4–6 touches—sit him in all 12-team formats.
New Orleans sits 20th in rushing yards allowed (124.3 per game) and has given up six different RB TDs, but they’ve tightened up against backup backs lately. Corum will see only 3–8 carries in a split that still belongs to Williams, so the matchup’s paper-friendliness doesn’t move the needle.
A ghost: 18-73-0 rushing line the last three weeks, zero games above 4 fantasy points since Week 2, snap share falling every week.
Bench Corum in every standard-size league and most 14-team formats; the only exception is deep dynasty or 16-team leagues where you’re ravaged by byes and the wire is picked clean. Even then, treat him as a pure TD dart with a 5-point ceiling. Keep him rostered as a top-tier handcuff—if Williams’ ankle or fumbling issues ever cost him a game, Corum would vault into low-end-RB1 territory overnight—but until that role change actually happens, leaving him on your bench is the only prudent move.
