Blake Corum vs Kyren Williams: Who Should You Start?
There is a real production gap between these two running backs. Kyren Williams (Los Angeles Rams) averaged 14.4 PPG over 17 games in 2025, outscoring Blake Corum (Los Angeles Rams, 7.0 PPG) by 7.4 points per week. That separation would need a significant matchup swing to overcome.
Kyren Williams carries a 7.4-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.
Both profile as early-down workhorses. Blake Corum ran for 746 yards and 6 touchdowns; Kyren Williams posted 1252 and 10. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.
One thing to note: both players share a Week 6 bye. That means you need a backup plan at running back for that week, especially if one of these two is your starter.
