Aaron Jones vs Blake Corum: Who Should You Start?
Deciding between Aaron Jones and Blake Corum is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Minnesota Vikings running back put up 8.7 PPG in 2025 over 12 games; Blake Corum of the Los Angeles Rams averaged 7.0 in 17. A 1.7-point margin that could shift on any given week.
The per-game difference of 1.7 points favors Aaron Jones, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one running back to the other.
Both profile as early-down workhorses. Aaron Jones ran for 548 yards and 2 touchdowns; Blake Corum posted 746 and 6. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.
Both share a Week 6 bye, which matters for roster construction. If you are stacking running backs this deep on your bench, plan your replacement running back early.
