Bijan Robinson vs Emanuel Wilson: 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 Emanuel Wilson (Green Bay Packers, 5.4 PPG) by 14.1 points per week. That separation would need a significant matchup swing to overcome.

The per-game difference of 14.1 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.

Bijan Robinson is the receiving back in this matchup, turning 79 targets into 820 yards, while Emanuel Wilson profiles as a more traditional rusher with 496 rushing yards and 3 touchdowns. In PPR and half-PPR formats Bijan Robinson carries the higher weekly floor. In standard leagues the gap tightens considerably.

Both share a Week 5 bye, which matters for roster construction. If you are stacking running backs this deep on your bench, plan your replacement running back early.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Bijan Robinson is a buy in trades where the other manager is chasing upside at a different position. Emanuel Wilson is a hold unless you can flip him for a positional upgrade elsewhere on your roster. Dynasty outlook: Bijan Robinson (age 24) has not yet hit the RB cliff. High dynasty ceiling if volume holds. Emanuel Wilson (age 27) is approaching the age where RB production historically drops. Sell-high window is open.
