Audric Estimé vs Bijan Robinson: Who Should You Start?

The numbers tell a clear story here. Bijan Robinson put up 19.5 fantasy points per game for the Atlanta Falcons in 2025, while Audric Estimé managed 8.4 across 5 games with the New Orleans Saints. A 11.1-point weekly edge is substantial at the running back position.

That 11.1-point weekly advantage for Bijan Robinson is meaningful but not automatic. Fantasy football is a week-to-week sport, and the answer to "who should I start" often changes based on opponent, recent form, and game environment. Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.

Bijan Robinson is the receiving back in this matchup, turning 79 targets into 820 yards, while Audric Estimé profiles as a more traditional rusher with 198 rushing yards and 1 touchdowns. In PPR and half-PPR formats Bijan Robinson carries the higher weekly floor. In standard leagues the gap tightens considerably.

Bye weeks matter for roster construction: Audric Estimé sits Week 11 while Bijan Robinson is off Week 5. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Bijan Robinson is a buy in trades where the other manager is chasing upside at a different position. Audric Estimé is a hold unless you can flip him for a positional upgrade elsewhere on your roster. Dynasty outlook: Audric Estimé (age 22) has not yet hit the RB cliff. High dynasty ceiling if volume holds. Bijan Robinson (age 24) has not yet hit the RB cliff. High dynasty ceiling if volume holds.
