Who Should I Start? Bijan Robinson or Bucky Irving

Sunday, September 28, 4:39 PM

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson rushed for 75 yards and one touchdown on 17 carries during Sunday's Week 4 win over the Washington Commanders. He also caught four of his five targets for 106 receiving yards. Robinson had a phenomenal day and was a key reason why the Falcons were able to take down the Commanders. He rewarded fantasy managers once again and continues to show why he was the consensus No. 1 running back in fantasy drafts this summer. He'll continue to be viewed as a high-end RB1 on the other side of his Week 5 bye.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder), who has already been ruled out for Week 5 against the Seattle Seahawks, is expected to miss at least two weeks. Irving is dealing with a sprained foot and a shoulder injury, with the shoulder injury being the more serious of the two injuries. With Irving out on Sunday against Seattle, it will mean more work for Rachaad White, who will be bumped to RB2 fantasy status with the increase in volume in Tampa's backfield. In addition to White seeing an expanded role, Sean Tucker will also see a boost in the change-of-pace RB2 role behind White. Fantasy managers should have already scooped White up if he was available on the waiver wire in their leagues. If Irving cannot play in Week 6 against the San Francisco 49ers, his next chance to return would be for a Monday night showdown in Week 7 versus the Detroit Lions.
