Who Should I Start? Bijan Robinson or Tank Bigsby

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson had an impressive season of production in 2024, compiling 1,456 rushing yards and 14 rushing touchdowns to go along with 431 receiving yards and one score through the air. However, the former first-round pick out of Texas wants more explosive runs in 2025. "We're done with 30-yard runs and all that stuff," Robinson said. "Now it's time to get those 60 yards, 50 yards. So, I've been doing a lot more explosive drills. I've been doing a lot more running -- 100 yards, like sprinting." A season ago, Robinson ranked just 22nd in runs of 20-plus yards (five) despite ranking fourth in rushing attempts (304). If he can consistently add this element to his game and score on long touchdown runs, he could be this year's overall RB1 in fantasy football. Robinson is a clear first-round pick in all formats entering his third NFL campaign.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby struggled with efficiency, but did find the end zone in a 26-23 overtime loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Bigsby finished with 14 carries for 39 yards and a one yard touchdown. He also caught a pass for three yards. Bigsby had similar production to what he has had many times this season. In an overall lackluster offense, he struggled for yardage and wasn't involved in the passing game but found the end zone, all while splitting touches with Travis Etienne Jr. The young back had a much improved second season, but still is fighting an uphill battle to become a full-time starter. He's been better than Etienne Jr. this season, but this week and in the past few weeks, has struggled to separate himself. Bigsby will look to seize a more consistent starting role and earn more volume in the 2025 NFL season.
