Bijan Robinson vs Javonte Williams: Who Should You Start?
Deciding between Bijan Robinson and Javonte Williams is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Atlanta Falcons running back put up 19.5 PPG in 2025 over 17 games; Javonte Williams of the Dallas Cowboys averaged 14.1 in 16. A 5.4-point margin that could shift on any given week.
The per-game difference of 5.4 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 Javonte Williams profiles as a more traditional rusher with 1201 rushing yards and 11 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 Javonte Williams Week 7. 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.
