Who Should I Start? Bijan Robinson or TreVeyon Henderson

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.

New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson has not yet emerged as the team's lead back, and therefore, he's tough to trust as a fantasy starter heading into Week 5 against the Buffalo Bills. Henderson is the future lead back in New England, but through the first four games of his career, the backfield has belonged to Rhamondre Stevenson. During that span, Henderson has a modest 36.6 percent snap share, 97 rushing yards, 87 receiving yards, and one touchdown. He's averaging just 3.7 yards per carry but still works his way onto the field thanks to his draft capital, his pass-blocking skills, and Stevenson's fumbling issues. With that said, Stevenson projects as the lead running back once again in Week 5, leaving Henderson in the backup role and therefore largely dependent on finding the end zone. The Bills have allowed the ninth-most rushing yards, fourth-most rushing touchdowns, and 13th-most fantasy points to opposing running backs this season, leaving Henderson as a low-end RB3/flex who can be benched in leagues with 10 or fewer teams.
