Blake Corum vs Breece Hall: Who Should You Start?
Blake Corum and Breece Hall are both viable fantasy running backs heading into 2026, but their 2025 production tells two different stories. Blake Corum averaged 7.0 PPG across 17 games with the Los Angeles Rams, while Breece Hall posted 11.9 PPG in 16 appearances for the New York Jets.
A 4.9-PPG gap gives Breece Hall the edge on paper, but paper does not account for Thursday night matchups, weather games, or a star defender returning from injury. The real question is not who was better in 2025, but who is the better start this specific week.
Both profile as early-down workhorses. Blake Corum ran for 746 yards and 6 touchdowns; Breece Hall posted 1065 and 4. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.
Bye weeks matter for roster construction: Blake Corum sits Week 6 while Breece Hall is off Week 12. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.
