Bijan Robinson Eyeing More Explosive Runs in 2025

Wednesday, June 4, 2:38 PM

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson had an impressive season of production in 2024, compiling 1,456 rushing yards and 14 rushing touchdowns to go along with 431 receiving yards and one score through the air. However, the former first-round pick out of Texas wants more explosive runs in 2025. "We're done with 30-yard runs and all that stuff," Robinson said. "Now it's time to get those 60 yards, 50 yards. So, I've been doing a lot more explosive drills. I've been doing a lot more running -- 100 yards, like sprinting." A season ago, Robinson ranked just 22nd in runs of 20-plus yards (five) despite ranking fourth in rushing attempts (304). If he can consistently add this element to his game and score on long touchdown runs, he could be this year's overall RB1 in fantasy football. Robinson is a clear first-round pick in all formats entering his third NFL campaign.

Kaleb Johnson Must Improve His Pass-Blocking

Monday, May 12, 12:07 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie third-round running back Kaleb Johnson knows he must improve his pass-blocking skills if he wants to earn the coaching staff's trust with the hope of becoming an "every-down back" sooner than later. At 6-foot-1, 225 pounds, Johnson led the Big Ten in rushing yards (1,537), rushing touchdowns (21) and all-purpose yards (1,725) at Iowa in 2024. He's a scheme fit for Pittsburgh's zone-centric offense given his efficient production, writes The Athletic's Mike DeFabo. Even if the 21-year-old doesn't catch a ton of passes, he could stand out in fantasy with his big-play ability. There's opportunity in the Steel City, too, with Najee Harris no longer in town. Johnson is likely going to share touches with Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell, but he probably has the highest fantasy upside of the trio already.
