Bijan Robinson vs Tyjae Spears: 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 Tyjae Spears (Tennessee Titans, 6.9 PPG) by 12.6 points per week. That separation would need a significant matchup swing to overcome.
The per-game difference of 12.6 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.
Both are three-down backs with real passing-game roles. Bijan Robinson caught 79 balls for 820 yards, and Tyjae Spears hauled in 45 for 264. That receiving workload gives them high PPR floors even in games where the ground attack gets stuffed, and it is why both stay on the field in obvious passing situations.
One scheduling note: Bijan Robinson is off Week 12 and Tyjae Spears Week 5. 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.
