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.

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.
