NFL DRAFT ROOKIE GUIDE IS NOW LIVE!
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson wasn't quite as dominant as many expected heading into his rookie campaign. Despite that, Robinson was still productive and posted a solid outing in the regular season finale against the New Orleans Saints. Robinson struggled on the ground with only 28 yards on 11 carries in the loss. However, he salvaged his fantasy value with seven receptions on eight targets for 103 yards and a touchdown in the receiving game. Robinson will finish his rookie season with 976 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 214 carries. He also added an additional 487 yards with 58 receptions and four touchdowns as a receiver. Robinson has the tools to be an elite back, but head coach Arthur Smith doesn't appear to know how to unlock them. It sounds like Smith will return next season, which makes Robinson a risky RB1 in fantasy leagues.

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson has looked good on the ground over the last two weeks. In fact, Robinson has rushed for over 70 yards in each of his last two games. The rookie back has also hauled in 10 receptions during that span. It appears the Falcons are finally committed to keeping Robinson involved in the offensive gameplan. That trend should continue versus the New Orleans Saints in Week 18. Robinson rushed for 91 yards and scored a touchdown during their last meeting. Given the Falcons quarterback troubles, DFS players should feel safe taking Robinson in what should be a run-heavy gameplan.

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson was the clear lead back during Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears. The rookie back saw 15 carries that he turned into 75 yards on the ground. Robinson also hauled in three receptions for an additional 11 yards on the ground. It was a decent day on the ground for Robinson who has seen his usage increase during the second half of the season. The Falcons are having an awful time passing the ball, so they'll likely stick to a run-heavy approach against the New Orleans Saints next week. Robinson should be able to carve out RB2 value for that game.

Robinson rushed for 72 yards on 12 attempts, while hauling in seven of his 10 targets for 50 additional yards through the air. The hope is that his success continues versus the Chicago Bears in Week 17. A defensive unit that has allowed most receiving yards to opposing backs this season. Robinson should be able to carve out low-end RB1 appeal for this week.
Dec 29, 2023 9:42 AM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson posted a dud last week, but was able to turn it around in a big way on Sunday. The rookie back rushed 12 times for 72 yards on the ground in the win over the Indianapolis Colts. He also hauled in seven of his 10 targets for 50 yards through the air. Robinson was all over the place during this game, which is what fantasy managers love to see. The move to put Taylor Heinicke under center seems to be a benefit to the fantasy value of Robinson. Heinicke used Robinson as his safety blanket all game long. The expectation is that Robinson will be significantly involved again next week, but you never know with the Falcons. He should be on the RB1 radar for next week's matchup versus the Chicago Bears.
Dec 24, 2023 4:33 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson saw his lowest carry total since Week 7 during Sunday's loss to the Carolina Panthers.

A defensive unit that has allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs. Despite that, Robinson is still a fairly risky option heading into this game. His workload seems inconsistent right now, which puts him on the low-end RB2 radar for this game.
Dec 21, 2023 6:46 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson gave a disappointing outing during Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. The rookie back rushed it seven times for 11 yards, while hauling in one of his three targets for three yards through the air. The Falcons decided to mix in all three of their backs during this game. Robinson has only seen 18 touches over the last two games after seeing an increase in usage before that. It's hard to know what kind of usage he's going to have next week. That being said, he should only be look upon as a RB2 for the Week 16 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.
Dec 17, 2023 9:35 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson was unable to get much going on the ground last week. He finished the day with 34 rushing yards, but salvaged his value with a touchdown.

Robinson should be a solid play as a RB1 for this Week 15 matchup.

The rookie back rushed 10 times for 34 yards and a touchdown in the loss. He also added five receptions for 54 additional yards through the air. It's worth noting that Cordarrelle Patterson and Tyler Allgeier combined for 12 carries during this game. The Falcons were using Robinson as the workhorse back, but they could be trending away from that. Fantasy managers can be hopeful for a better game on the ground next week. Robinson should be a possible RB1 for next week's matchup against the Carolina Panthers.
Dec 10, 2023 10:02 PM EST

Dec 3, 2023 7:39 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson has seen more success lately with back-to-back 90-yard rushing games. It appears the Falcons have finally decided to let Robinson be the workhorse back and it's working out. The expectation is that they'll continue giving Robinson nearly 20 carries per game. Although, he could have a tougher time finding room to run against the New York Jets defense in Week 13. A defensive unit that has done fairly well against running backs this season. Despite that, Robinson should still be able to provide low-end RB1 value this week.
Nov 30, 2023 5:41 PM EST

The rookie back now has 39 carries over his last two games. Head coach Arthur Smith has finally let Robinson take over as the primary back and it's paying off for the Falcons.

Nov 26, 2023 9:06 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson saw a season-high 22 rushing attempts during the Week 10 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. This was a promising sight from the young back who was been stuck in a split all season long. The hope is that the rookie back continues to get the bulk of the carries going forward. The Falcons are coming off a bye week, so everyone should be refreshed and ready to go. Sadly, Robinson runs into a tough matchup against the New Orleans Saints defense. A defensive unit that has allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points to opposing backs this season. Despite that, Robinson should remain as a low-end RB1 heading into this Week 12 contest.
Nov 23, 2023 9:05 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson seemed to be handicapped through a majority of the first half of the season. Finally, head coach Arthur Smith let Robinson be the primary back in Week 10. The rookie back made the most of it with 22 carries for 95 yards and a touchdown in the loss to the Arizona Cardinals. The Falcons weren't able to have success throwing the ball, so they stuck to the ground attack. The hope is that this breakout performance will convince the coaching staff to continue letting Robinson be the top dog. Fantasy managers will have to wait and see because the Falcons have a bye next week, so they will have to wait until after that to see Robinson again.
Nov 12, 2023 10:40 PM EST
According to Dianna Russini of The Athletic, Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson is "in line to see plenty of opportunities" moving ahead, especially inside the red zone. The 21-year-old hasn't had the rookie season many had envisioned, with the 2023 No. 8 overall pick rushing for just 517 yards and a touchdown off 103 carries. While he's also scored twice as a pass-catcher, fantasy managers haven't been pleased with his lack of involvement within the 20-yard line. Head coach Arthur Smith hasn't provided much clarity surrounding the situation. But Russini, citing a source, indicated everyone will see the "best of him down the stretch." That said, Tyler Allgeier remains a viable fantasy option in all formats, at least until he begins to cede carries to Robinson. At the same time, the Falcons' issues getting consistent production from the quarterback spot may allow both Allgeier and Robinson to stay involved for the rest of the 2023-24 campaign.
Nov 12, 2023 1:16 AM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson has seen 11 carries or less in each of the last three games. Head coach Arthur Smith noted that Robinson's impact away from the ball should help open up things for this offense. This comes after fellow back Tyler Allgeier saw a majority of the red zone carries during last week's loss to the Minnesota Vikings. The assumption was that Robinson would take on a bigger role in the offense as the season went on. Clearly, that isn't the case, so fantasy managers should give up on the dream of Robinson getting 20 carries a game. However, he should still have fairly decent fantasy value against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 10. A defense that has allowed the third-most fantasy points per game this season. Robinson should be a safe RB2 for this upcoming matchup.
Nov 10, 2023 11:02 AM EST
The Atlanta Falcons have run 41 plays within 10 yards of their opponent's end zone this year, and rookie first-round running back Bijan Robinson has three touches for 10 yards and one touchdown. Tight end Kyle Pitts has two touches for 12 yards and one touchdown. Tight end Jonnu Smith leads the team in red-zone touches with four. Robinson is averaging 2.9 yards per carry and 39.8 rushing yards per game in his last five games and has 63 total receiving yards in that span. "He played a lot of snaps (against Minnesota), and sometimes, his impact away from the ball can open things up," head coach Arthur Smith said. "For any rookie, the seasons are long. You're going to have ebbs and flows. We'll see how this second half of the season goes, but he's been a huge part of our offense and he'll continue to be." It's not really what Robinson's fantasy managers want to hear. Tyler Allgeier has 10 carries to Robinson's two inside the 10-yard line in 2023.
Nov 7, 2023 12:14 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson was able to find some success versus the Minnesota Vikings in Week 9. The rookie back rushed 11 times for 52 times, while adding one reception for one yard during the loss. At this point, fantasy managers should acknowledge that Robinson is going to have a capped fantasy value. He continues to split up the workload with Tyler Allgeier. The Falcons actually used Allgeier almost exclusively during the fourth quarter of this game. That being said, Robinson should be considered a RB2 with a higher floor in PPR formats for next week's matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.
Nov 5, 2023 9:14 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson was able to find the end zone for the first time last week. The rookie back rushed for 62 yards on 11 carries in what ended up being a loss to the Tennessee Titans. It could've been a bigger game for Robinson, but he failed to haul in any of his five targets during this game. The good news is, the Falcons continue to get Robinson significantly involved in the offense. He should remain a key factor once again versus the Minnesota Vikings in Week 9. Fantasy managers should lower their expectations, but Robinson should still be able to provide low-end RB1 value in PPR formats.
