Bijan Robinson Accounts for 173 Total Yards and a Score in Week 1

Monday, September 14, 6:59 AM

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson picked up where he left off last season, getting heavily involved in both the run and the pass game in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Steelers. The 5-foot-11 superstar gained 83 yards on 21 carries (4.0 YPC) while adding another 90 receiving yards on a team-high 10 targets and eight receptions; no other receiver had more than four targets or more than two catches. The former first-rounder recorded the team's only score of the day as well, which came on a quick swing pass behind the line of scrimmage that he was able to take 23 yards to the end zone. The Falcons will take on the Panthers in Week 2, a team that was trampled by the Bears in Week 1, so expect more of the same from the 24-year-old, who will again be at or near the top of the running back ranks next week regardless of who is under center for Atlanta.

Jahmyr Gibbs Remains a Top Running Back Option in Week 2

Wednesday, September 16, 4:20 PM

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs got his season off to a hot start in Week 1, recording 186 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns on 34 touches in his team's overtime win over the New Orleans Saints. Gibbs dominated the Lions' backfield workload in Week 1, accounting for 93.5% of the team's running back carries. While fantasy managers should not expect the 24-year-old to see 30-plus touches every week, Gibbs appears to clearly be the focal point of Detroit's offense. In Week 2, the Lions will travel to Buffalo to take on the Bills. Buffalo's run defense wasn't great in Week 1, allowing 124 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns to the Houston Texans. Detroit will be missing three starters on the offensive line on Thursday night against Buffalo, which could be an issue for Gibbs. Still, Gibbs could see plenty of targets in the passing game in what projects to be a high-scoring affair, which may make up for any potential losses in rushing efficiency. In Week 2 against the Bills, Gibbs remains an elite running back option for fantasy managers.
