Alright, so I’ve been messing around with this fantasy football thing for a while now, and this year, I decided to really dive into the whole Blake Corum situation. Let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride.
First off, I started by just watching some of his games. I mean, you gotta see the guy play, right? What I noticed right away was his energy. Corum isn’t just another running back; he’s got this spark, this drive that you can practically feel through the screen. I’m watching him, and I’m thinking, “This guy could be something special.”
- Watched a bunch of his college games.
- Checked out some expert analysis, you know, the usual stuff.
- Kept an eye on his draft position and how other fantasy players were talking about him.
Then, I dug into the stats. It wasn’t just about the touchdowns or the yards; I wanted to see how consistent he was. Was he getting a decent number of carries? Was he involved in the passing game? Stuff like that. And what I found was pretty encouraging. He wasn’t just a one-hit-wonder; the guy was putting up solid numbers week after week.
But here’s where it got tricky. I started seeing people saying he might be a risky pick. “He’s a rookie,” they said. “You never know how they’ll adapt to the NFL.” And yeah, that’s true. But I also saw that the Los Angeles Rams didn’t really have a strong running game last year. They had a bunch of guys who were just… okay. Nothing special. So, I’m thinking, maybe Corum is exactly what they need.
I decided to take a chance on him in one of my leagues. It wasn’t my main league, but it was a league with some buddies who know their stuff. I picked him up in the middle rounds, and at first, people were kind of scratching their heads. But I had a feeling.
And you know what? It’s been paying off. Corum has been getting a decent workload, and he’s been making the most of it. He’s not setting the world on fire, but he’s been solid. He’s been reliable. And in fantasy football, sometimes that’s all you need.
My takeaway from all this?
Sometimes you gotta trust your gut. The experts can tell you one thing, the stats can tell you another, but at the end of the day, it’s about watching the games, seeing the potential, and making your own call. Corum might not be a superstar, but he’s a solid player, and he’s been a valuable addition to my fantasy team. So, if you’re thinking about picking him up, I say go for it. You might be pleasantly surprised.
