Corum really excels in the gym, so will likely fare very well at the Combine. However, given his injury history, there are questions about his durability and therefore his ability to be a bell-cow type of back. That may hurt him in the draft, so expect Corum to get picked towards the end of the second round.

Landing in Vancouver as the backup didn’t exactly put him in the best position to rebound yet, along with everything Canucks-related, he’s bounced back in a big way so far (despite a rough outing on Thursday). DeSmith is facing less rubber this season, and it’s helping.

Looking at Nix’s performance over the last two games (and in three of the past four) suggests that he’s hitting his stride at the right time to take over as the new Heisman fave. The former Auburn QB has been so much better since arriving in Oregon last season. Another game like he had in Week 11 will have him knocking on the door of his career high in passing yards, set last season.

Despite being used exclusively off the bench so far, Robinson is off to a fine start and will likely see even more responsibility now in the wake of Herro’s injury. When Herro got hurt Wednesday, it was Robinson that subbed in for him, so that was certainly a promising sign and one that makes the most sense given Robinson’s ability to space the floor with his three-point touch like Herro does. Robinson has been a bit inconsistent lately (which isn’t uncommon for him), but if he keeps getting 35 minutes like he did on Wednesday, he’ll provide some major value. His touches are up this season and he’s returned to being a nice source of three-pointers thanks to being a bigger part of the rotation. When Robinson is on, he’s an extremely dangerous shooter, so jump on him while he gets a boost in value for a couple of weeks.

Yes, Nacua has slowed down in recent games (topping 43 yards just once over the last four), but should still be a top 20 WR in the second half, and will soon be reaching the 1,000-yard mark. Not bad for a dude whose college career started very slowly, but given his pedigree as a stud in high school (winning the Utah Gatorade Player of the Year in 2018-19), what he’s accomplished isn’t totally out of the blue.

Fields is practicing again, but remains limited, so is still considered day-to-day. He’s currently listed as questionable for Thursday’s game against Carolina.

He’s clearly too good for that league (over a point per game last season, and three goals with an assist in three games this season), so let’s see what he can do in an extended look. Chinakhov had a decent rookie effort in 2021-22, and while he was scoring at a better pace last season, injuries limited him to 30 games. The team’s 2020 first round pick (21st overall) has proven to be an asset on the power play in the past, so keep an eye on how he’s deployed. There’s major potential here.
