Blake Corum vs Woody Marks: Who Should You Start?
Deciding between Blake Corum and Woody Marks is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Los Angeles Rams running back put up 7.0 PPG in 2025 over 17 games; Woody Marks of the Houston Texans averaged 8.7 in 16. A 1.7-point margin that could shift on any given week.
The per-game difference of 1.7 points favors Woody Marks, 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; Woody Marks posted 703 and 2. 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 Woody Marks 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.
