Alvin Kamara vs Blake Corum: Who Should You Start?
This is a genuine coin flip on paper. Alvin Kamara finished the 2025 season at 7.7 PPG over 11 games with the New Orleans Saints, while Blake Corum clocked in at 7.0 across 17 appearances for the Los Angeles Rams. A 0.7-point gap means any given week could go either way.
With a margin this thin, season averages are not the deciding factor. Weekly variables like opponent defense, game script, and injury status carry more weight than a fraction of a PPG. The right start in Week 6 might be the wrong start in Week 14.
Both profile as early-down workhorses. Alvin Kamara ran for 471 yards and 1 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.
One scheduling note: Alvin Kamara is off Week 12 and Blake Corum Week 6. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in running back for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
