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.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said on Wednesday that running back Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) will not make it back for Sunday's divisional contest against the New Orleans Saints in Week 8, according to Greg Auman of FOX Sports. Irving will be missing his fourth straight game due to a foot sprain and a subluxation of his shoulder. However, with Tampa's bye coming in Week 9, perhaps he'll be ready to make his return in Week 10 when the team takes on the New England Patriots on Nov. 9. With the 23-year-old set to miss yet another game, Rachaad White will be in play as an RB2 in all fantasy formats while making his fourth straight start as the lead back for the Buccaneers, with Sean Tucker handling backup duties again.
