Blake Corum vs Quinshon Judkins: Who Should You Start?
Blake Corum and Quinshon Judkins 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 Quinshon Judkins posted 10.5 PPG in 15 appearances for the Cleveland Browns.
A 3.5-PPG gap gives Quinshon Judkins 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; Quinshon Judkins posted 827 and 7. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.
Blake Corum has his bye in Week 6, and Quinshon Judkins rests in Week 10. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at running back for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
