Bijan Robinson vs Sam LaPorta: Who Should You Start?

Comparing Bijan Robinson (RB, Atlanta Falcons) against Sam LaPorta (TE, Detroit Lions) means weighing two different roles in your fantasy lineup. Bijan Robinson averaged 19.5 PPG in 2025 over 17 games, while Sam LaPorta posted 9.7 PPG across 9 games.

Cross-position FLEX decisions cannot be made on PPG alone. Positional scarcity, matchup quality, floor versus ceiling, and league scoring format all shift the answer. A 14 PPG tight end in a thin TE week is often worth more than a 16 PPG receiver in a deep WR week, because the opportunity cost on the waiver wire is wildly different.

DraftCall's AI engine weighs all of these signals and returns a verdict with clear reasoning, so you are not cross-referencing four different rankings tabs on a Sunday morning.

Bijan Robinson has his bye in Week 12, Sam LaPorta in Week 5. Plan your FLEX rotation around those weeks, especially if either player is anchoring your roster.
