2022 Fantasy Outlook
Corum’s spent the last two campaigns working behind Hassan Haskins a whopping 270 times (49 percent of team carries) last season. With Haskins out of the picture, it could be Corum’s turn to lead the The Wolverines’ backfield. The junior averaged 6.61 yards per carry a season ago, good for 10th best in the country among runners with at least 100 carries. Corum’s next challenger in the backfield will be Donovan Edwards, but Corum should receive first crack at lead duties for a backfield that boasted a 58.4 run play percentage (23rd in FBS) last season Read Past Outlooks

Headed for season-ending surgery
Corum is expected to undergo left knee surgery in the near future and will miss the remainder of the 2022-23 season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Corum tried to play through the knee injury in Michigan's Week 13 game at Ohio State, but he took only two carries before sitting out the rest of the Wolverines' 45-23 victory. After taking a few days to reassess Corum, Michigan and the running back decided it was in the player's best interest to have surgery and get a more permanent fix for the knee issue. The Heisman Trophy candidate will thus sit out in Saturday's Big Ten Championship game against Purdue and any potential College Football Playoff contests to follow. He'll finish a brilliant junior season with 247 carries for 1,463 rushing yards and 19 total touchdowns, potentially setting him up to be one of the first running backs off the board if he opts to forgo his remaining eligibility to enter the 2023 NFL Draft. Donovan Edwards will step in as Michigan's starting running back the rest of the way.
