Should You Start or Sit Bijan Robinson in Week 16?
Robinson ran for a season-high 125 yards last week against the Raiders and has at least 22 carries in back-to-back-to-back games (he didn’t have a single such game previously this season).
If you gave me Robinson’s role OR volume, I’d be talking him up as an RB1, the fact that we get both is what league championships are made of, especially when facing the third-worst rush defense by EPA.
I don’t love his four targets netting just 19 yards over the past two weeks, but I’m willing to acknowledge that we can’t have everything. I prefer Saquon Barkley’s offensive environment and Jahmyr Gibbs’ situations sans David Montgomery, but that’s it at the running back position for this week, for the rest of this season, and potentially for the next handful of years.
