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.

Tank Bigsby Still an Elite Handcuff After Quiet Opener

Tuesday, September 15, 7:19 AM

Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby barely touched the ball in Sunday's 24-22 win over Washington, carrying once for three yards on six offensive snaps. Will Shipley actually saw more work, logging 10 snaps and two carries, but Philadelphia's current depth chart still lists Bigsby directly behind Saquon Barkley. That is where the fantasy case starts. Bigsby showed last season that he can produce when the workload expands, rushing for 104 yards on nine carries against the Giants before finishing the year with 75 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries in Week 18. He added a 31-yard catch in that finale. None of that gives him standalone value while Barkley is healthy, and Week 1 made that clear. Bigsby is still the back positioned to benefit most if Philadelphia suddenly needs someone else to handle meaningful carries. He belongs on benches in deeper leagues and remains one of the stronger pure handcuffs available, but managers in ordinary 10- and 12-team formats do not need to treat him as a priority waiver claim.
