Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson is coming off the second straight week in which he's produced at least 168 total yards and a touchdown, currently sitting as a top-five running back in season-long fantasy. The 23-year-old even led the team with 11 targets in Week 16 despite the return of Drake London (knee). The work in the passing game provides the workhorse back with a high weekly floor, and he may need it in a Week 17 matchup against the Rams, who have limited opposing running backs to the fourth-fewest fantasy points this season, and are yielding just 97.3 rush yards per game over their last three (fifth-fewest). Expect the third-year pro to be heavily involved once again in a home game on Monday night, and with a high expected point total in this one (49.5), there should be plenty of scoring, making Robinson a high-end RB1 again in Week 17.

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson dominated the Arizona Cardinals in his team's 26-19 Week 16 win. The 23-year-old recorded 16 carries for 76 yards and hauled in seven receptions for 92 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets. Across 15 games this season, Robinson has now recorded 2,026 yards from scrimmage and nine touchdowns on 321 touches. Robinson has racked up at least 107 scrimmage yards in five out of his last six games and has logged at least 88 scrimmage yards in every game but one in 2025. He may be the NFL's premier all-around back and is currently on pace to finish the season with just a shade under 2,300 yards from scrimmage. Robinson profiles as a must-start fantasy back heading into the team's Week 17 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson is coming off a productive performance in Week 15's 29-28 win over the Buccaneers, tallying 92 yards and a touchdown on the ground with an additional 82 yards gained through the air. After scoring just two touchdowns via rush through the season's first nine games (and two via pass), the 23-year-old has four rushing scores in the last five games, which is a welcome turn of events after Tyler Allgeier seemed to be eating into his goal-line opportunities. Allgeier was limited to just two rushes last week, his fewest touches since Week 9. Sunday's road matchup against the Cardinals is a favorable one for the Atlanta backfield, with Arizona yielding the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs this season, including letting the Texans' Jawhar Jordan gain 101 yards on the ground in his first career game last week. Robinson projects as one of the top options at running back this week, with the likely return of Drake London (knee) elevating the offense as a whole.

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson had 19 carries, 93 rushing yards, and one rushing touchdown during Thursday's Week 15 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He also caught eight of his 11 targets for an additional 82 receiving yards. The lone blemish on Robinson's final stat line was a fumble in the third quarter. Outside of the turnover, the former first-round pick had an enormous showing on Thursday Night Football, playing a major role in the Falcons' comeback victory. He was efficient on the ground, heavily involved and productive as a receiver, and contributed to the scoring with a nifty rushing touchdown. Unlike in some previous weeks, Robinson was able to fend off Tyler Allgeier from having much of a role in Week 15. Robinson played 90.1% of the snaps with 27 total touches, whereas Allgeier played just 16.9% of the snaps with two touches. Allgeier's 16.9% snap share was his second-lowest mark of the season, trailing only Week 3 when he played fewer than 10%. Long story short, Robinson remains the undisputed workhorse here, and he's going to play a massive role in helping managers pursue a fantasy championship over the next few weeks. He should continue to feast against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 16.

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson put up solid numbers on the ground in Week 14, rushing 20 times for 86 yards, however, he caught just two passes for eight yards and did not score. Despite getting down big in the second half, Kirk Cousins targeted the 2024 Pro Bowler just two times, which was as many targets as Tyler Allgeier received, while Dylan Drummond and David Sills V combined for nine targets. Robinson was averaging over six targets per game with Michael Penix Jr. (knee) under center, but has seen that total drop to just over three targets per contest with Cousins, which has lowered his fantasy floor at the worst possible time for fantasy managers. Even so, on Thursday night, the 23-year-old faces a Buccaneers defense that has been easier to run on than they have been in recent years despite the presence of run-stuffing Vita Vea, yielding the 13th-most fantasy points to opposing running backs this season, along with allowing a league-worst 53.9 receiving yards per game to opposing backs. The University of Texas product will again be a high-end RB1 in Week 15, with plenty of upside if Cousins can direct a few more passes his way instead of the less explosive supporting cast.

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson rushed 20 times for 86 yards in Sunday's 37-9 loss to the Seahawks, adding two catches for eight yards. While it was a solid effort, the team was unable to record a single touchdown in the contest, leaving Robinson well outside the RB2 ranks for the week. With Kirk Cousins playing mediocre football right now, and with Tyler Allgeier eating into Robinson's red zone opportunities, the 23-year-old has been less consistent than he was earlier in the season. Nevertheless, he's talented enough to bust loose at any moment, as he had done the week prior (193 total yards, one touchdown), and season-long fantasy managers will need to continue to plug in the former first-rounder as the fantasy playoffs descend on many leagues this week. Week 15 brings a Thursday night matchup against a pretty stout Buccaneers rush defense, which held the third-year pro to his lowest rushing output of the season way back in Week 1, but Robinson also managed to rack up 100 yards through the air in that game. He'll still likely be an RB1 for this week's matchup.
Dec 9, 2025 4:08 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson continues to produce despite his team losing six of the last seven games, as he's currently the fourth-ranked running back in PPR formats after adding five receptions for 51 yards to his 142-yard rushing total in last week's 27-24 loss to the Jets. The 23-year-old's seven targets were an encouraging development with Kirk Cousins under center after totaling just five in Cousins' previous two starts. Week 14 brings a home matchup with the Seahawks, a defense that has yielded the fourth-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs, but that has also allowed the second-most receptions per game (5.7) and fourth-most receiving yards per game (39.7) to opposing backs. Whether the Falcons are playing from behind or with a lead, Robinson should be heavily involved regardless and is once again a rock-solid RB1 for Sunday's contest.
Dec 6, 2025 9:41 AM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson went off on Sunday against the New York Jets despite the 27-24 loss, recording 23 carries for 142 yards and a touchdown along with five receptions (seven targets) for 51 yards as a receiver. Robinson was excellent once again and was the engine of Atlanta's offense in this game, accounting for 191 of 389 total yards of offense for the Falcons. It marks the second-most total yards in a game this season for the superstar running back, only trailing his 238-yard performance back in Week 6 against the Buffalo Bills. The 23-year-old is one of the best receiving backs in football and has six games this season with at least five receptions, with Sunday being his first since Week 9 against the Patriots. Robinson remains one of the top running backs in fantasy, but faces a tough matchup in Week 14 against the Seattle Seahawks.
Nov 30, 2025 5:41 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson has had at least 88 yards from scrimmage in 10 of 11 games this season, but with six total touchdowns, he's well off the 15-touchdown pace he set in 2024. The 23-year-old draws a favorable matchup in Week 13 on the road against the Jets, a defense that has yielded the ninth-most half-point PPR points to opposing running backs this season. The former first-rounder has seen his target share drop dramatically in the two games he's played with Kirk Cousins under center, going from 20.3 percent to 9.3 percent, but he still has a large enough role with plenty of upside to be one of the top running back options week in and week out. In a game that the Falcons are favored by just 2.5 points, it should be a competitive contest throughout, and without top receiver Drake London (knee), Atlanta could favor the run game. Even though Tyler Allgeier has eaten into his workload near the goal line, Robinson is a threat to break off a big play every time he touches the ball, and projects as a top-five back this week in the Meadowlands.
Nov 28, 2025 10:41 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson had a solid, albeit unspectacular, fantasy day in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Saints. The 23-year-old rushed 14 times for 70 yards and caught both of his targets for an additional 37 yards. He was unable to find the end zone, though, as wide receivers Darnell Mooney and David Sills V each caught the Falcons' only two touchdowns on the day. While the rushing yardage was good, averaging five yards per carry, the number of targets was disappointing. Two of his lowest target totals this season have come in the two games with Kirk Cousins under center, averaging 2.5 targets per game, compared to 5.1 targets per game in the nine games with Michael Penix Jr. (knee) at the helm. It was disappointing enough that Tyler Allgeier was vulturing touchdowns, but now it seems his work in the passing attack will also take a hit with the QB change. The third-year pro is one of the most explosive and talented backs in the league, but his fantasy floor appears to be lower than it was earlier this season. Even so, he'll likely remain a top option at running back in Week 13 when the Falcons go on the road to visit the Jets, a defense that has yielded the ninth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs this season.
Nov 25, 2025 5:41 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson rushed for 104 yards and two touchdowns in Week 11, adding four catches for 39 yards. It ended a three-week stretch in which the 23-year-old did not go over 100 yards from scrimmage or score a touchdown. The University of Texas product will be without teammates Drake London (knee) and Michael Penix Jr. (knee) on Sunday, and the last time he was without those two was in Week 8 against Miami. In that contest, Robinson tallied just 25 yards rushing and 23 yards receiving, so Week 12's opponent may take a similar defensive approach with Kirk Cousins under center. This week, the Falcons take on the Saints, a defense that is middle of the road in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs, but is also limiting opponents to only 3.5 yards per carry over the last three weeks (fourth-lowest in the NFL). As one of the best running backs in the league, the third-year pro should be plugged into lineups every week in season-long leagues, but in a game that has one of the lowest projected point totals (40.5), expectations should be tempered in daily formats.
Nov 22, 2025 12:14 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson seemed unstoppable during Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. Robinson saw a heavy workload as he rushed the ball 23 times for 104 yards and scored two touchdowns in the overtime loss. Robinson scored a one-yard and a four-yard touchdown, so not flashy plays, but he got the job done. He also hauled in four of his five targets for an additional 39 yards through the air. Robinson had a few sluggish weeks, but he is back to giving fantasy managers elite value. He'll head into a plus-matchup against the New Orleans Saints in Week 12.
Nov 16, 2025 6:42 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson has had at least 86 yards from scrimmage in eight of nine games he's played so far this season and is averaging almost five catches per contest, but he has been stuck on four touchdowns (two rushing, two receiving) since last finding paydirt in Week 7. Week 11 brings a home matchup against the Panthers, a defense that is middle of the pack this year in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs, but that has allowed 157 yards rushing per game over the last three weeks, which is the fourth-highest total in the league. The 23-year-old tallied 72 rush yards and 39 receiving yards the last time these teams squared off in Week 3, and he appears set for a similar workload on Sunday. The third-year pro projects as a top-three running back this week in a game that the Falcons have an implied total of over three touchdowns (22.5), and is as reliable as they come with his high fantasy floor.
Nov 14, 2025 7:49 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson rushed 17 times for 84 yards in Sunday's 31-25 overtime loss to the Colts, adding two catches for four yards in the contest. It was the third straight week without a touchdown, though, currently sitting with two rushing and two receiving scores on the season. Fellow running back Tyler Allgeier scored twice, however, and now has six rushing touchdowns on the season, despite totaling 79 touches for 290 yards from scrimmage compared to Robinson's 178 touches for 1,146 yards. The problem for fantasy managers was glaring in Sunday's game, which was that Allgeier received five red zone attempts while Robinson saw only one. Allgeier doesn't get much work, especially if the Falcons are playing from behind, but he's getting a lot of the carries that matter when games are close, and Atlanta's next few games should be competitive (CAR, @NO, @NYJ). Although Robinson drew only two targets on Sunday, his work in the passing attack typically provides a solid floor for fantasy, but the lack of touchdowns is concerning. Nevertheless, he should be a top-five option at the position in Week 11 against Carolina, a defense that gave up 146 yards from scrimmage to running backs this past week.
Nov 11, 2025 10:57 AM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson will go up against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday in Germany. The 23-year-old has just four total touchdowns on the season (two rush, two receiving), but still stands as the sixth-most productive running back for fantasy in half-point PPR formats due to his involvement in both the running and passing attack. The third-year pro has tallied at least 92 yards from scrimmage with Michael Penix Jr. under center, and is averaging seven targets and five receptions per game in those seven contests. The University of Texas product takes on a Colts defense that has been mostly tough against the run in 2025, although it allowed two rushing TDs last week and will be without starting DT DeForest Buckner (neck) in Week 10. They're also top 12 in terms of receptions (41) and reception yards allowed (273) to opposing running backs, and are allowing 24.5 points per game on the road compared to 16.6 PPG at home. Expect Robinson to be heavily involved regardless of game script, and he sets up as a top option at running back again in Berlin.
Nov 8, 2025 10:55 AM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson logged just 12 carries for 46 yards in Sunday's 24-23 loss to the Patriots as the team got behind early and all but abandoned the run. However, as has been the case all season, Robinson continued to be heavily involved in the passing attack, drawing 10 targets from quarterback Michael Penix Jr. and turning them into eight catches for 50 yards. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, Drake London recorded all three of the team's touchdowns, but Robinson still managed a top 12 finish at running back despite not finding paydirt. Week 8 aside, when London was absent, the 23-year-old is second on the team with 21.1 percent target share, which provides a solid weekly floor. Week 10 brings a matchup with Indianapolis on a neutral field in Germany, a defense that has been tough against the run (although it allowed two rushing TDs this past week), but that has been soft against the pass and is allowing 24.5 points per game on the road (16.6 PPG at home). The former first-round draft pick figures to be involved regardless of game script, so he'll surely be a top option at running back again on Sunday.
Nov 4, 2025 1:36 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson will look to bounce back in Week 9 after falling flat in what should have been a bountiful fantasy day against the Dolphins in Week 8. Both Michael Penix Jr. (knee) and Drake London (hip) will be back this week, so the offense should look more like what we've been accustomed to this season, which is a healthy dose of Robinson in both the run game and the passing attack. The 23-year-old will take on the Patriots in Foxborough on Sunday, a run defense that has been one of the stingiest in terms of fantasy points allowed to running backs (fifth-fewest), and has allowed just 76 rush yards per contest and 3.5 yards per rush (both second-fewest). Regardless, the third-year pro has one of the highest floors in the game with his involvement in the passing game, averaging over six targets and four catches per game, making him a high-end RB1 again in Week 9 despite the tough matchup.
Nov 1, 2025 10:33 AM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson rushed for 25 yards on nine carries and lost a fumble during Sunday's Week 8 loss to the Miami Dolphins. He also caught all three of his targets for an additional 23 receiving yards. Robinson's 6.8 points in PPR leagues marked the first time this year he finished with fewer than 16 points. It was stunning to see the 23-year-old struggle on the ground against the Dolphins, who entered this week with one of the NFL's worst run defenses. Robinson's woes were the product of greater offensive issues from Atlanta, as this Kirk Cousins-led offense only scored 10 points. Fantasy managers should continue to start Robinson as a solid RB1, but temper expectations if Cousins starts again next week while Robinson faces a strong Patriots run defense.
Oct 26, 2025 8:42 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson fell just shy of 100 yards from scrimmage for the first time this season in Week 7's 20-10 loss to the 49ers, tallying 92 total yards in the contest. Despite not reaching the century mark, the 23-year-old found the end zone for the third consecutive week and continued to see heavy volume in the passing game with eight targets and six catches. There should be little problem getting back over the 100-yard threshold in Week 8, as it brings a home matchup against a Miami defense that has shown little resistance to the run, ranking dead last in opponent rush yards allowed per game (159.3) and has yielded the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs thus far. Tyler Allgeier (hip/knee) has been limited in practice all week, and if he ends up missing the game, Robinson could see an even bigger workload than normal. Regardless, even with his normal usage, the third-year pro still projects as the top option at running back this week in such a favorable matchup.
Oct 24, 2025 5:49 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson carried the ball 14 times for 40 rushing yards during Sunday's Week 7 loss against the San Francisco 49ers. He also caught six of his eight targets for an additional 52 receiving yards and one touchdown. The 23-year-old posted his worst single-game rushing efficiency since Week 1, but he made up for it with his impact in the passing game and his trip to the end zone. Robinson is the overall RB5 in PPR leagues this year, and he could rise up the leaderboard after next week's very favorable matchup against the Miami Dolphins. After all, Miami, which just surrendered three touchdowns to Quinshon Judkins, has allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2025.
