Blake Corum vs Javonte Williams: Who Should You Start?
The numbers tell a clear story here. Javonte Williams put up 14.1 fantasy points per game for the Dallas Cowboys in 2025, while Blake Corum managed 7.0 across 17 games with the Los Angeles Rams. A 7.1-point weekly edge is substantial at the running back position.
A 7.1-PPG gap gives Javonte Williams 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; Javonte Williams posted 1201 and 11. 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 Javonte Williams is off Week 7. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.
