Blake Corum vs D'Andre Swift: Who Should You Start?
There is a real production gap between these two running backs. D'Andre Swift (Chicago Bears) averaged 13.2 PPG over 16 games in 2025, outscoring Blake Corum (Los Angeles Rams, 7.0 PPG) by 6.2 points per week. That separation would need a significant matchup swing to overcome.
That 6.2-point weekly advantage for D'Andre Swift is meaningful but not automatic. Fantasy football is a week-to-week sport, and the answer to "who should I start" often changes based on opponent, recent form, and game environment. Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.
Both profile as early-down workhorses. Blake Corum ran for 746 yards and 6 touchdowns; D'Andre Swift posted 1087 and 9. 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: Blake Corum is off Week 6 and D'Andre Swift Week 7. 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.
