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.

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.

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.

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.
Oct 20, 2025 12:48 AM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson ran wild on the Bills last week, racking up 238 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown. He's now gone over 100 scrimmage yards in each of the team's first five contests while averaging a league-best 5.8 yards per rush (minimum 50 attempts) and almost five receptions per game. Week 7's matchup on Sunday night against the 49ers brings a matchup against a defense that's yielded the 13th-most fantasy points to opposing running backs, and will again be without Nick Bosa (knee) and Fred Warner (ankle). Game script hasn't mattered in relation to Robinson's fantasy production, as the 23-year-old will be involved whether the team goes run or pass-heavy. With just a 2.5 point spread, this one figures to be close, which should keep all of the Falcons' key offensive pieces involved, and former first-round draft pick will again be a high-end RB1 on Sunday night.
Oct 18, 2025 5:03 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson had a career game in Monday night's 24-14 win over the Bills, rushing for 170 yards on 19 carries and catching six of eight targets for 68 yards. The 238 total yards are a career high for the superstar running back as he continues his remarkable season. Atlanta relied solely on Robinson and London to move the ball against Buffalo, with the duo accounting for 396 of the team's 443 total yards. The 23-year-old remains the best running back in fantasy and will be in primetime again next Sunday night against San Francisco.
Oct 13, 2025 11:44 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson eclipsed 100 yards from scrimmage for the fourth straight game in Week 4, which also included his second touchdown of the season (first rushing score) and his second game with at least 100 yards receiving. With a minimum of five targets and three catches in each of the team's first four games, the 23-year-old has one of the highest floors for fantasy of any running back in the league, and the Falcons will likely need him to contribute in that area again in Week 6 if the team hopes to keep pace with the Bills. With Buffalo yielding the second-fewest pass yards per game and Atlanta as 4.5-point underdogs, the Falcons may lean on the run in an attempt to limit Buffalo's possessions, but could find themselves playing catch-up later in the game. Either way, Robinson will be involved, and with LB Matt Milano (pec) ruled out, there should be more holes for the former first-rounder to run through. The third-year pro sets up as a high-end RB1 again in Week 6.
Oct 11, 2025 2:07 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson rushed for 75 yards and one touchdown on 17 carries during Sunday's Week 4 win over the Washington Commanders. He also caught four of his five targets for 106 receiving yards. Robinson had a phenomenal day and was a key reason why the Falcons were able to take down the Commanders. He rewarded fantasy managers once again and continues to show why he was the consensus No. 1 running back in fantasy drafts this summer. He'll continue to be viewed as a high-end RB1 on the other side of his Week 5 bye.
Sep 28, 2025 4:39 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson has begun the season with three straight games with at least 100 yards from scrimmage, and given his involvement in the passing game, he's got one of the highest floors of any running back in the league. In addition to his 239 yards rushing, the 5-foot-11 back has 14 catches on 18 targets with 164 yards receiving thus far, with his lone touchdown coming through the air as well. Week 4 brings a home matchup against a Washington defense that has been good against the run, yielding only 100.7 rush yards per game and has allowed just one touchdown via the rush. Still, even if Atlanta takes to the air, Robinson will be a key piece, owning a solid 17.31 percent target share. After scoring 14 touchdowns on the ground last season, expect the 23-year-old to get in on the ground sooner rather than later in 2025, perhaps as soon as this Sunday. The former eighth-overall draft pick is locked in as a top option at running back, and that includes this week against the Commanders.
Sep 26, 2025 11:16 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson rushed for 143 yards on 22 carries in last week's 22-6 victory over the Vikings, adding three catches on five targets for 25 yards as well. That gives him a 100-yard receiving game and a 100-yard rushing game through the first two weeks, proving he's an every-week, matchup-proof fantasy stud. The University of Texas product has scored just once so far, which surprisingly came through the air, but after scoring 14 rush TDs last season, he's bound to start racking up the scores. That time may very well come on Sunday against the Panthers, a game in which the Falcons are five-point favorites and should rely heavily on their ground attack, although the 23-year-old will be involved even if they go to the air. The Panthers were gashed for a league-worst 180 rush yards per game last season, and although they held the Arizona back's in check in Week 2, a pedestrian Travis Etienne Jr. carved them up for 143 yards in Week 1. Robinson is an obvious RB1 in Week 3, who could easily end up as the highest fantasy points-scorer amongst all running backs in this mouthwatering matchup, so deploy with confidence.
Sep 19, 2025 8:29 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris had high praise for running back Bijan Robinson while talking to reporters on Wednesday. "He's definitely the best player in football," Morris said. He may not be wrong. Through the first two weeks of the 2025 NFL season, Robinson checks in as the RB4 in half-PPR scoring with 167 rushing yards on 34 carries. He has added nine receptions on 12 targets for an additional 125 yards (tied for most among RBs) and a touchdown through the air. The 23-year-old's high-end abilities on the ground were on full display in Sunday night's win over the Minnesota Vikings, when he ran for 143 yards on 22 carries. He has started his 2025 campaign with two straight weeks surpassing 100 scrimmage yards and seems primed to make it a third straight in a plus Week 3 divisional matchup against the Carolina Panthers.
Sep 17, 2025 3:53 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson dominated the Minnesota Vikings defense in Week 2, rushing for 143 yards on 22 carries in his team's 22-6 victory. Robinson also added three catches for 25 yards on five targets. If there was a negative from Robinson's performance, it was that Falcons RB2 Tyler Allgeier scored the game's only touchdown in a goal-to-go situation. Still, Robinson has now logged 292 yards from scrimmage over the first two games of the season on 43 total touches. He's a must-start fantasy running back with overall RB1 upside.
Sep 15, 2025 10:17 AM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson ran into a wall in Week 1 versus the Buccaneers, gaining just 24 yards on 12 attempts. However, he salvaged his day in the passing game, garnering seven targets and catching six of them for 100 yards receiving, which included a 50-yard touchdown scamper. The 23-year-old could have a tough go of it on the ground again in Week 2 on the road in Minnesota against a stout Vikings run defense that allowed just 53 yards rushing to running backs in Week 1, and allowed the second-fewest rush yards per game in 2024. Robinson did gain 92 yards against the Vikings in their 2024 matchup, but it took him 22 carries to get there. Averaging more than four targets per game a year ago and with a healthy dose of targets in Week 1, expect the former first-round draft pick to be heavily involved in both phases again, and with his ability to find the end zone, he shapes up as a top-five option at the position in Week 2.
Sep 12, 2025 11:24 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson was stuffed on the ground, but still had a strong performance against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. Robinson got off to a great start with a 50-yard receiving touchdown on the opening drive. The Falcons continued to throw the ball his way as Robinson couldn't get anything going on the ground. He rushed 12 times for 24 yards in the Week 1 loss. However, Robinson salvaged his fantasy value by hauling in six of his seven targets for 100 yards through the air with one touchdown. He'll hope to have more success on the ground during the Week 2 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.
Sep 7, 2025 6:31 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson will go up against the division rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Atlanta on Sunday, a team that was able to limit him to 25 carries for 124 yards combined in two games last year. With run-stuffing Vita Vea expected to play for the Bucs in this contest, running the ball could prove challenging again. The 23-year-old running back can contribute through the air as well, though, as he caught 61 passes last year, an average of over three receptions per game, including a seven-catch effort against the Bucs in Week 8. Together with his nose for the end zone (15 total TDs in '24) and the fact that quarterback Michael Penix Jr. will be making just his fourth NFL start, the 23-year-old still projects as a top-three running back for fantasy this week.
Sep 5, 2025 5:47 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson said that the team has "outlandish goals" for the rushing totals in 2025, even after they lost 20% of their starting offensive line from last year. Robinson was third in the league in rushing in 2024 with 1,456 yards on 304 carries, and he's just one of four RBs with more than 2,400 rushing yards the last two seasons. Tyler Allgeier was 32nd in the NFL with 644 yards on 137 carries last year. If the Falcons' ground game is going to improve, it will primarily need to come through the air, and the coaching staff is optimistic that quarterback Michael Penix Jr. will make strides in his second year in the league. "As many times as we can get the ball in his hands, we're going to do it," Penix said about Robinson. Saquon Barkley is going to be the first RB drafted in most fantasy leagues, but Robinson should be right behind him as the workhorse for a likely run-first offense in Atlanta.
