The Bottom Line

Trey Benson is the better fantasy play this season.

This one is genuinely close. Trey Benson edges Blake Corum by 0.2 PPG, but both are in the same production tier. The decision comes down to weekly matchup, not season-long resume. If you are choosing between them in a draft, Trey Benson goes slightly earlier based on volume, but do not reach for the difference.

Low confidence: the production gap is narrow enough that weekly context matters more than the season line.

Fantasy Tiers

Blake Corum: Tier 5 (Deep League) RB (ranked #47 at the position). Trey Benson: Tier 5 (Deep League) RB (ranked #46 at the position). Among the top 50 running backs this season, Blake Corum is producing at 32% of elite pace and Trey Benson at 33%. These two are close enough in the rankings that weekly matchup should dictate your start.

Blake Corum vs Trey Benson: The Full Breakdown

Blake Corum (7.0 PPG) and Trey Benson (7.2 PPG) produced nearly identical fantasy numbers in 2025. When two running backs are this close on a per-game basis, the weekly matchup matters more than the season-long resume. Blake Corum played 17 games for the Los Angeles Rams; Trey Benson suited up 4 times for the Arizona Cardinals.

A 0.2-point per-game gap over a full season is essentially noise. It means one extra catch, one fewer target, or a single broken play away from flipping the script. For a weekly start/sit call between these two, matchup analysis matters far more than the season line.

Both profile as early-down workhorses. Blake Corum ran for 746 yards and 6 touchdowns; Trey Benson posted 160 and undefined. 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 11 while Trey Benson is off Week 14. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Both are in a similar trade value range. A straight swap would be fair in most leagues, with the tiebreaker going to whichever manager values schedule or bye week more. Dynasty outlook: Blake Corum (age 25) has not yet hit the RB cliff. High dynasty ceiling if volume holds. Trey Benson (age 23) has not yet hit the RB cliff. High dynasty ceiling if volume holds.
