Bijan Robinson vs TreVeyon Henderson: 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 TreVeyon Henderson (New England Patriots, 11.1 PPG) by 8.4 points per week. That separation would need a significant matchup swing to overcome.
A 8.4-PPG gap gives Bijan Robinson the edge on paper, but paper does not account for Thursday night matchups, weather games, or a star defender returning from injury. The real question is not who was better in 2025, but who is the better start this specific week.
Bijan Robinson is the receiving back in this matchup, turning 79 targets into 820 yards, while TreVeyon Henderson profiles as a more traditional rusher with 911 rushing yards and 9 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 TreVeyon Henderson Week 14. 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.
