About Blake Corum
Blake Corum won a national championship at Michigan, rushed for over 1,000 yards in a season where the Wolverines beat everyone, and then came to the Rams as a third-round pick who immediately carved out a role that every fantasy football player hates. He's the goal-line back. The vulture. The guy who stands on the sideline while Kyren Williams does all the work between the 20s, then trots onto the field at the 3-yard line and punches it in for six points. He's very good at it. That's what makes it so frustrating for anyone who doesn't roster him.
The Michigan pedigree adds another layer. Blake played for a program that dominated college football during his time there, winning it all in his final season. He carries that championship energy into every short-yardage carry. He played behind an offensive line that mauled people, and he learned to follow blocks and fall forward with the kind of efficiency that turns a 2-yard carry into a touchdown. The Rams use him exactly where his skills matter most, and that precision deployment is simultaneously brilliant coaching and a meme generator.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do fantasy football players have such strong feelings about Blake Corum?
Because he steals touchdowns. Kyren Williams owners watch their guy run the ball 18 times, move the chains repeatedly, and drive the team all the way to the goal line. Then Blake Corum subs in and scores. The touchdown goes on Blake's stat line. Kyren gets the yards but Blake gets the points. It happens multiple times a season and it drives fantasy managers insane every single week.
What role does Blake's Michigan championship background play in his meme appeal?
It adds a layer of big-game credibility that makes the vulture role funnier. This isn't some undrafted free agent stealing carries. This is a national champion who ran for 1,400 yards in a title-winning season. He's overqualified for the job of short-yardage specialist, and that contrast between his resume and his current workload is part of what makes every 1-yard touchdown carry so amusing.
