3 running backs to avoid starting for fantasy football in Week 17

Bijan Robinson (vs. Chicago Bears)

It has been almost impossible to trust Bijan Robinson this season with the way that Arthur Smith has managed the workload in the backfield between the rookie and Tyler Allegier. Bijan Robinson has the talent to be a top running back for fantasy football but has struggled the same way Drake London and Kyle Pitts has with this coaching staff.

This week, the Falcons are traveling to play the Chicago Bears who's defense has been the toughest against running backs. They have allowed only 80.7 rushing yards per game and seven rushing touchdowns on the season.

It would be tough to bench a player in a championship week that was likely a high draft pick for fantasy football managers, but it is hard to imagine he has a productive week.
