Who Should I Start? Allen Lazard or Bijan Robinson

The New York Jets have given permission to veteran wide receiver Allen Lazard to seek a trade, sources tell ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Jets are also open to bringing Lazard back in 2025 if he cannot find a trade partner. The 29-year-old probably won't have a robust trade market and is still more likely to be cut by the Jets after they overpaid for him on a four-year, $44 million deal prior to the 2023 season, mainly because he's best buddies with quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Lazard had a mere 23 catches for 311 yards and one touchdown in 14 games in 2023 before going for a 37-530-6 line in 12 games in his second season last year. Especially because of the fact that quarterback Aaron Rodgers won't be back in 2025, Lazard will probably be on the move as well and could team up with Rodgers yet again, wherever he goes. The drop-prone wideout is unlikely to be a fantasy factor this fall.

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson ran for 170 yards and two touchdowns on 28 attempts during their overtime loss to the Carolina Panthers. Robinson brought in two of his five targets for three yards through the air. Robinson punched in his first score of the afternoon in the second quarter from three yards out. Later in the fourth quarter, Robinson tallied his second touchdown, on a four-yard run. His 28 attempts and 170 yards were the highest totals of his career. Since Week 10, Robinson has tallied at least 90 rushing yards in all but one contest. Overall, the Texas product tallied at least 100 rushing yards five games and tallied 15 total touchdowns. Given his role as the workhorse of the Atlanta offense, he should be viewed as a high-end RB1 heading into the 2025 season and remains an elite dynasty asset.
