Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum, New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr., and Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. all have plenty to play for in Week 18, and have the opportunity to make a nice impact for their teams and rack up stats for your fantasy football rosters.
None of them are likely to be rested this weekend -- although many teams will pull many of their starters out of the game to keep them fresher for the first round of the playoffs, we doubt this will happen with these three backs. So they can be considered for starting lineups.
Let's break the three of them down and give start/sit advice for each.
Should I Start Blake Corum for Fantasy Football?
The Rams announced that they would rest many of their starters, including quarterback Matthew Stafford, wide receivers Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp, and most importantly, running back Kyren Williams. Corum will thus serve as the team's lead back and should see significant volume.

He's a skilled player, but still has a lot of developing to do. That being said, he should be a decent RB3/FLEX option in deeper leagues. The Rams will also rest some of their offensive linemen, so running room could be hard to find. But anything can happen in meaningless games.
Should I Start Tyrone Tracy Jr. for Fantasy Football?
By now, you should know not to bench Tracy. He's a fantastic fantasy running back in games that quarterback Drew Lock plays in. He didn't have a great game last week but still saw 20 carries and three targets. He ended up with just 59 rushing yards and caught two of his aforementioned targets for 14 yards.

His lack of usage as a receiver was concerning last game, but it was an odd game script -- a huge shootout is uncommon for the Giants, as they usually barely score any points. He'll face a Philadelphia Eagles team that's likely to pull most of its starters as the game goes on.
We like the idea of starting Tracy in Week 18.
Should I Start Brian Robinson Jr. for Fantasy Football?
The Commanders will face the Dallas Cowboys in Week 18, and it looks like Big D will roll with quarterback Trey Lance as their starter. It could be hard to predict what will happen here. While the Cowboys have a very poor run defense, the game shouldn't be competitive at all.

The Commanders could opt to give more work to their backup RBs, but we still like Robinson's floor here. Chances are he at least scores an early touchdown (we think it will happen on their first drive). So he's a fine RB3/FLEX in most leagues.
