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.

Las Vegas Raiders rookie running back Ashton Jeanty has consistently been bottled up on the ground this season. That in part led to the Raiders abandoning the run in their Week 11 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, as Jeanty has just six carries for seven yards, but stayed involved as a receiver with six receptions (eight targets) for 27 yards. The sixth overall pick in this past year's draft has averaged over four yards per carry in just two of 10 games this season. The poor play of the Raiders' offensive line has derailed any hope of a massive fantasy ceiling for Jeanty, and now he draws a matchup on Sunday against a Cleveland Browns defense that is allowing just 3.9 yards per carry (fourth best) and the fourth fewest PPR points per game to opposing running backs. Jeanty will rank as a volume-based RB2 for Week 12.
