J.K. Dobbins vs Blake Corum

“Jonah Coleman will serve as the backup to J.K. Dobbins and step in as Denver's early-down ball carrier when Dobbins inevitably misses some time due to injury.”

“The team obviously values Dobbins, who has been excellent for the Broncos when on the field. Back in March, they extended him for two more years, guaranteeing him $8 million and including incentives that could push the contract's maximum value to $20 million.”

“Dobbins, when healthy, is one of the better backs in the league, but unfortunately, injuries continue to sideline ol' J.K. He missed seven games last season, four the year before that, and the entirety of both the 2023 and 2021 seasons.”

“Dobbins is coming back on a two-year $20 million contract.”

“Dobbins, though, might be the NFL's most injury-prone active player. The former Ravens second-round pick has missed a staggering 54 regular-season games in six seasons.”

“"You can't find many people with higher average [per carry] then me," Dobbins said of his injury history. "This is going to be the best year, all 17 [games]. I've had three major injuries, one took me two years to recover from and was one not a lot of people come back from."”

“Despite selecting running backs on the second day of the past two drafts, the Broncos and HC Sean Payton opted to bring back injury-prone RB J.K. Dobbins, who continues to dominate when healthy. "Dobbins was a priority, ahead of all others," Payton said.”

“Despite re-signing J.K. Dobbins and restricted free agent Jaleel McLaughlin and having spent a second-round pick on RJ Harvey last year, the Broncos are doing research on the draft's offerings at the position.”

“If Corum is going to incur a heftier workload, his outlook starts to become extremely appealing.”

“Among 60 running backs with at least 65 rush attempts in the regular season and playoffs last year, Blake Corum was second in success rate (60.2%), fourth in stuff rate (38%) and seventh in explosive run rate (6.4%).”

“There is a world where we see a 50/50 split with Corum and Kyren Williams . Corum is more explosive than Williams and has shown signs of being an every-down back.”

“Blake Corum is a league-winner if anything happens to Kyren Williams.”

“Blake Corum is a favorite draft target in the ninth round based on ADP.”

“Going into this season, a 60-40 split in favor of Williams is expected. As a result, Corum is one of the few handcuffs with weekly FLEX appeal.”

“Corum came onto the fantasy scene in his second year. Firmly playing as the 1B RB to Kyren Williams' 1A RB role, Corum has proven to be a decent NFL back. With double-digit carries in four of their last five regular-season games, it was clear Sean McVay wants to use both backs.”

“Even as a secondary option, he earned meaningful snaps, carries, and standalone usability in fantasy lineups. The panel repeatedly emphasized that Corum remains surprisingly affordable relative to his upside.”

“If you want to be that person who takes 100% of Blake Corum (or whoever), go for it, so you can brag about calling your shot.”

“The Rams used Blake Corum regularly as an RB2 last year.”
