Bijan Robinson vs Chuba Hubbard: Who Should You Start?
There is a real production gap between these two running backs. Bijan Robinson (Atlanta Falcons) averaged 19.5 PPG over 17 games in 2025, outscoring Chuba Hubbard (Carolina Panthers, 7.4 PPG) by 12.1 points per week. That separation would need a significant matchup swing to overcome.
The per-game difference of 12.1 points favors Bijan Robinson, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one running back to the other.
Bijan Robinson is the receiving back in this matchup, turning 79 targets into 820 yards, while Chuba Hubbard profiles as a more traditional rusher with 511 rushing yards and 1 touchdowns. In PPR and half-PPR formats Bijan Robinson carries the higher weekly floor. In standard leagues the gap tightens considerably.
One scheduling note: Bijan Robinson is off Week 12 and Chuba Hubbard Week 11. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in running back for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
