One scheduling note: Bijan Robinson is off Week 5 and Javonte Williams Week 10. 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.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Bijan Robinson is a buy in trades where the other manager is chasing upside at a different position. Javonte Williams 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. Javonte Williams (age 26) is approaching the age where RB production historically drops. Sell-high window is open.
