Blake Corum vs RJ Harvey: Who Should You Start?
Two running backs who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. Blake Corum (Los Angeles Rams) finished the 2025 season averaging 7.0 fantasy points per game in 17 games. RJ Harvey (Denver Broncos) came in at 10.8 PPG over 17 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.
RJ Harvey carries a 3.8-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.
RJ Harvey is the receiving back in this matchup, turning 47 targets into 356 yards, while Blake Corum profiles as a more traditional rusher with 746 rushing yards and 6 touchdowns. In PPR and half-PPR formats RJ Harvey carries the higher weekly floor. In standard leagues the gap tightens considerably.
One scheduling note: Blake Corum is off Week 6 and RJ Harvey Week 14. 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.
