Bijan Robinson vs RJ Harvey: 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 RJ Harvey managed 10.8 across 17 games with the Denver Broncos. A 8.7-point weekly edge is substantial at the running back position.

The per-game difference of 8.7 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.

Both are three-down backs with real passing-game roles. Bijan Robinson caught 79 balls for 820 yards, and RJ Harvey hauled in 47 for 356. That receiving workload gives them high PPR floors even in games where the ground attack gets stuffed, and it is why both stay on the field in obvious passing situations.

Bye weeks matter for roster construction: Bijan Robinson sits Week 5 while RJ Harvey is off Week 12. 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

Dynasty outlook: Bijan Robinson (age 24) has not yet hit the RB cliff. High dynasty ceiling if volume holds. RJ Harvey (age 25) has not yet hit the RB cliff. High dynasty ceiling if volume holds.
