Brian Robinson Jr. a Dynasty Target as Handcuff with Standalone Upside

Wednesday, May 6, 7:23 AM

Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Robinson Jr. represents an intriguing dynasty target this offseason. Not only is he a top handcuff running back behind Brian Robinson, but he could also have some standalone value given the Falcons' tendency to use multiple running backs. Atlanta brought in Robinson to replace Tyler Allgeier. While we don't typically think of Robinson as a big pass-catching threat, he is averaging more than 1.25 receptions per game throughout his career, and he had 36 catches across 15 games in 2023 alone. He won't necessarily steal a ton of receiving work from Bijan Robinson, who is an incredible receiver, too. However, Brian Robinson Jr.'s versatility at least gives him a chance to rotate in on a wide variety of downs, not just third. Whatever his role ends up being, it's far more appealing than last season in San Francisco, where he barely touched the ball behind Christian McCaffrey. Robinson remains a top handcuff, and he could even have some standalone RB3/flex value if he vultures some of Bijan Robinson's touches early in the season.

Zach Charbonnet Might Not Return Until Midseason

Wednesday, May 27, 6:03 PM

The Seattle Times' Bob Condotta suggests that Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet (knee) might not realistically be able to return in 2026 until midseason after tearing his ACL in the team's Divisional Round win over the division-rival San Francisco 49ers just over four months ago. The 25-year-old will absolutely miss the start of the 2026 regular-season opener, which makes him an obvious candidate to begin the year on the Physically Unable to Perform list, sidelining him for at least the first four games. Seattle let Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III walk in free agency to the Kansas City Chiefs, but they added Emanuel Wilson in free agency and selected former Notre Dame back Jadarian Price in April's rookie draft. With Price a real threat to handle significant touches right away in his first NFL season and because of his serious knee injury, Charbonnet's redraft fantasy stock has taken a big hit. He's currently ranked as RotoBaller's No. 57 RB. Charb proved last year that he was ready to take on a bigger role in Seattle, but he may not get back to that level of production until 2027.
