As draft season unfolded, I noticed that some average draft positions aren't in tune with reality. When that happens, value appears. You'll probably roll through the first seven rounds of your Fantasy draft without many concerns, but the few rounds after are pretty important, especially if you can find mispriced players who can easily outperform their draft costs.
These are my favorites among players with an ADP of 100th or later. Last year: Was on the short end of a split with Kyren Williams, averaging 7.4 PPR points for the season but 8.8 in 11 games (playoffs included) when he played at least 30% of the snaps from Week 7 on. Why you should draft him: There's been jitters about Williams' role this year, just like last year, just like the year before that.
This time I think it's warranted: Corum has been a bright spot in camp for the Rams, displaying improved agility and explosiveness. There have been reports that L.A. could be one of those offenses that could move to a 50-50 split between its backs. And if the Rams' offseason additions on defenses mean anything, that could lead to more rushing opportunities for the team as a whole.
Sean McVay's lip service that Corum will be "a big factor in what we're going to do this year and love everything he's about" certainly doesn't hurt. Current ADP: 100th on Yahoo, 103rd on CBS, 123rd on FantasyPros, 126th on ESPN I'd draft him: Round 9 in PPR, Round 8 in non-PPR. I don't even think we can call Corum a "backup" because any relevant improvement in workload would put him more into the "1B" category of running back.
And he might be the "1A" if Williams can't move like Corum can. He's exactly the kind of RB stash to target when you love the rushers you took earlier. Last year: 10th in Fantasy points per game (21.5), sixth in pass attempts per game (34.0).
Thirty-four passing touchdowns were the second-most in a season in his career. Why you should draft him: Quality quarterback with track record of providing a high floor. Incredible receiving corps highlighted by four teammates being taken with top-75 picks in Fantasy (including two in Round 1).
