Fantasy Football Fallers: Blake Corum, Saquon Barkley, Clyde Edwards-Helaire

As best ball Season enters its final stages it can pay to be mindful of where we’re drafting players. If a player has been a 20th-round pick for the last three months, does it make sense to take them now that they’re going in the 15th round? These are the risers and fallers in FantasyPros’ best ball expert consensus rankings (ECR) over the last month.

Fantasy Football Risers & Fallers

Fantasy Football Fallers

Blake Corum (RB – LAR) |-8/ECR: 127

Ever since camp opened there have been lots of positive quotes about Kyren Williams from Sean McVay. It seems clear this is his backfield for the time being. McVay was also quoted as saying Blake Corum is a very mature player and he loves the way he handles himself. The Rams seem plenty happy with this backfield, but Corum will be waiting for a Williams injury to have real relevance.

#Rams HC Sean McVay on rookies who impressed in minicamp:

“Blake Corum’s really stood out. Mature beyond his years. I love the way that he handles himself. I love even more how when there’s been a couple things that don’t go the way we wanted, how he responded the next play.” pic.twitter.com/CispOQryGl

Saquon Barkley (RB – PHI) |-4/ECR: 18

The Eagles value Saquon Barkley as their No. 1 RB but it’s noteworthy they’ve also given spells with the first teamers to both Kenneth Gainwell and Will Shipley. Barkley likely won’t see as much receiving work as we’d hope for a top-24 fantasy player to do so. Also, if Jalen Hurts continues to get his tush pushed over the 1-yard line it’s hard to see Barkley paying off his cost.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire (RB – KC) |-11/ECR: 217

Deneric Prince has consistently been taking reps as the No. 2 RB in Chiefs training camp, which comes on the back of Clyde Edwards-Helaire signing a very modest $1.7 million contract with the team after testing free agency and finding no other offers. Perhaps Edwards-Helaire sees some of the passing game work Jerick McKinnon squirreled away in recent years, but it’s also possible he might not be on the team in a few weeks.
