Blake Corum vs Jaylen Warren: Who Should You Start?
Deciding between Blake Corum and Jaylen Warren is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Los Angeles Rams running back put up 7.0 PPG in 2025 over 17 games; Jaylen Warren of the Pittsburgh Steelers averaged 12.3 in 16. A 5.3-point margin that could shift on any given week.
The per-game difference of 5.3 points favors Jaylen Warren, 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.
Jaylen Warren is the receiving back in this matchup, turning 40 targets into 333 yards, while Blake Corum profiles as a more traditional rusher with 746 rushing yards and 6 touchdowns. In PPR and half-PPR formats Jaylen Warren carries the higher weekly floor. In standard leagues the gap tightens considerably.
One scheduling note: Blake Corum is off Week 6 and Jaylen Warren Week 9. 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.
