Bijan Robinson vs Woody Marks

Fantasy Football Comparison for the 2026 NFL Season

The Bottom Line

Bijan Robinson is the better fantasy play this season.

Bijan Robinson is clearly the better fantasy option heading into 2026. With 19.5 PPG and 2,298 total yards in 2025, the production separation is too wide to overcome on matchup alone. Woody Marks (8.3 PPG) is a hold, not a sell, but roster Bijan Robinson as the starter and Woody Marks as depth.

High confidence: stats strongly favor the leader, and the gap is unlikely to close on matchup alone.

Bijan Robinson vs Woody Marks: 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 Woody Marks (Houston Texans, 8.3 PPG) by 11.2 points per week. That separation would need a significant matchup swing to overcome.

Bijan Robinson carries a 11.2-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.

Bijan Robinson is the receiving back in this matchup, turning 79 targets into 820 yards, while Woody Marks profiles as a more traditional rusher with 703 rushing yards and 2 touchdowns. In PPR and half-PPR formats Bijan Robinson carries the higher weekly floor. In standard leagues the gap tightens considerably.

One scheduling note: Bijan Robinson is off Week 5 and Woody Marks Week 6. 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

If you can acquire Bijan Robinson at a discount because your league-mates undervalue running back production, do it. Woody Marks is a reasonable sell-high candidate if his recent games have spiked above his season average. Dynasty outlook: Bijan Robinson (age 24) has not yet hit the RB cliff. High dynasty ceiling if volume holds. Woody Marks (age 25) has not yet hit the RB cliff. High dynasty ceiling if volume holds.
