Blake Corum vs Ty Johnson: Who Should You Start?
Deciding between Blake Corum and Ty Johnson is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Los Angeles Rams running back put up 7.0 PPG in 2025 over 17 games; Ty Johnson of the Buffalo Bills averaged 5.2 in 17. A 1.8-point margin that could shift on any given week.
The per-game difference of 1.8 points favors Blake Corum, 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.
Both profile as early-down workhorses. Blake Corum ran for 746 yards and 6 touchdowns; Ty Johnson posted 200 and 3. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.
One scheduling note: Blake Corum is off Week 6 and Ty Johnson Week 12. 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.
