When Williams went down last year, the Rams tried to cobble things together with a combination of Royce Freeman, Darrell Henderson, and Ronnie Rivers. It's not surprising then that the team chose to upgrade that spot in the draft, selecting Corum in the third round. The rookie doesn't jump off the page from a physical perspective, boasting a smallish frame (5-foot-8, 205 pounds) and average speed, but he was highly productive at Michigan.
Corum is relentless as a runner with good strength, making him tough to bring down -- to that end, he set the FBS single-season record with 27 rushing touchdowns last year. He's also ready to step in on passing downs, showing toughness in blitz pickup and the hands to contribute as an outlet for Stafford. He'll spell Williams when both are healthy, and he gives the Rams some insurance if Williams again deals with injuries. Consider Corum a borderline RB4/RB5.

FFToday's Take: Count this nugget as news fantasy managers did not expect to read today. Not only does Williams have limited experience returning punts (14 in 2021 for Notre Dame and three last season), but this admission likely means there is no way Williams will be the same workhorse he was last season. Especially considering Williams' injury history, his fantasy managers would be wise to make Blake Corum a priority in drafts.
