BALLER MOVE: Don't Start in Week 1
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3
ANALYSIS: Starting rookie running back Blake Corum in Week 1 could be a gamble, as his role in the Rams' offense is still uncertain. The Rams may prioritize their more established backs early in the season, making it difficult for Corum to immediately carve out significant playing time.
Kyren Williams is set to be the lead back for the Rams to begin the season, with Corum being his backup. Without clear indications of how the Rams plan to use Corum, his touches could be limited in Week 1, which would hinder his ability to produce meaningful fantasy points.

The Rams will face a tough Lions defense. They have shown the ability to contain ground games, which could be a tough challenge for a rookie in his NFL debut. With the Rams likely needing to rely on their passing attack if they fall behind or struggle to establish the run, Corum might need more opportunities to make a fantasy impact.
Given these uncertainties, waiting and seeing how Corum is utilized would be safer before starting him in your lineup. He should be a player to watch as he could be a league winner, but for Week 1, it's safe to keep him on your bench.
