Brian Robinson News
Friday, October 30, 9:28 AM
Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Robinson (hamstring) has officially been ruled out for the team's Week 8 tilt on Sunday against the division-rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to Marc Raimondi of ESPN. Robinson will miss a second straight game due to a hamstring injury after missing practice all week. In deeper leagues, Khalil Herbert could be in play as a flex option at the RB position as the change-of-pace option behind starter Bijan Robinson. Despite missing two straight games, the 27-year-old Robinson should remain rostered in the majority of fantasy leagues as a high-end handcuff to Bijan. The former third-rounder by the Washington Commanders in 2022 from Alabama has 56 carries through six games in his first year in Atlanta, recording 211 rushing yards (4.0 yards per carry) and four rushing touchdowns while adding five receptions for 30 yards in the passing game. His next chance to return to Atlanta's backfield will come in Week 9 on Sunday, Nov. 8, against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Braelon Allen News
Sunday, November 1, 12:22 PM
New York Jets running back Braelon Allen delivered 23.3 PPR fantasy points in Sunday's 38-33 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, rushing 21 times for a season-high 147 yards and a touchdown. Allen had already piled up 121 rushing yards by halftime before breaking loose for a 21-yard score in the third quarter. He also caught both of his targets for six yards, while fellow running back Isaiah Davis managed just 15 yards on five carries. Allen has now received at least 17 carries in four consecutive games and surpassed 100 rushing yards in three of those outings. His production has made him a strong fantasy starter during Breece Hall's (quadriceps) absence, although that arrangement could soon change. Hall missed his fifth straight game Sunday after practicing on a limited basis Wednesday through Friday, and a potential Week 9 return against Kansas City would likely affect Allen's workload.
