Who Should I Start? Bijan Robinson or Khalil Herbert

Sunday, October 1, 6:47 PM

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson was barely seen in the first half of Sunday's Week 4 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. It didn't help that the Falcons turned the ball over on back-to-back drives, which forced them to abandon the running game early on. Despite that, Robinson was still able to manage 105 yards on 14 carries in the loss to the Jags. He also added on five receptions for an additional 32 yards through the air. The lack of carries is a bit concerning, but Robinson should remain a RB1 for the Week 5 matchup against the Houston Texans.

Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert made easy work of the Denver Broncos defense in Week 4. Before the game, the expectation was that Roschon Johnson was going to see a majority of the carries. However, that wasn't the case during Sunday's contest. Herbert rushed 18 times for 103 yards, while hauling in four receptions for 19 yards and a touchdown in the loss. This was an odd outburst in usage for Herbert who saw only 14 carries combined during the past two games. It remains to be seen what kind of role he'll have in the Week 5 matchup against the Washington Commanders. Herbert will be a low-end flex option for that contest.
