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.

LeQuint Allen Jr. News
Saturday, October 10, 4:30 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars running back LeQuint Allen Jr. has seen minimal usage on offense through the first four games of his second NFL season. He has logged snaps in every game, but he has yet to log a carry. He has mostly played on passing downs, resulting in two catches for nine receiving yards so far. This shouldn't necessarily come as a surprise, though, as Allen has seventh-round draft capital and entered this season as the clear No. 3 option behind Bhayshul Tuten and Chris Rodriguez Jr. Allen can be left on waivers in redraft leagues, but he's still an appealing stash in dynasty formats. Because of his pass-catching ability, he could sneak onto the fantasy radar in PPR leagues if Tuten or Rodriguez were to miss any time. Plus, at just 22 years old, he still has plenty of time to carve out a meaningful role.
