Bijan Robinson Scores Touchdown, Remains Productive as Pass Catcher

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson carried the ball 14 times for 40 rushing yards during Sunday's Week 7 loss against the San Francisco 49ers. He also caught six of his eight targets for an additional 52 receiving yards and one touchdown. The 23-year-old posted his worst single-game rushing efficiency since Week 1, but he made up for it with his impact in the passing game and his trip to the end zone. Robinson is the overall RB5 in PPR leagues this year, and he could rise up the leaderboard after next week's very favorable matchup against the Miami Dolphins. After all, Miami, which just surrendered three touchdowns to Quinshon Judkins, has allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2025.

Bijan Robinson a High-End RB1 Against a Banged Up San Francisco Defense

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson ran wild on the Bills last week, racking up 238 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown. He's now gone over 100 scrimmage yards in each of the team's first five contests while averaging a league-best 5.8 yards per rush (minimum 50 attempts) and almost five receptions per game. Week 7's matchup on Sunday night against the 49ers brings a matchup against a defense that's yielded the 13th-most fantasy points to opposing running backs, and will again be without Nick Bosa (knee) and Fred Warner (ankle). Game script hasn't mattered in relation to Robinson's fantasy production, as the 23-year-old will be involved whether the team goes run or pass-heavy. With just a 2.5 point spread, this one figures to be close, which should keep all of the Falcons' key offensive pieces involved, and former first-round draft pick will again be a high-end RB1 on Sunday night.

Bijan Robinson Erupts For 238 Total Yards And Touchdown Against Bills

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson had a career game in Monday night's 24-14 win over the Bills, rushing for 170 yards on 19 carries and catching six of eight targets for 68 yards. The 238 total yards are a career high for the superstar running back as he continues his remarkable season. Atlanta relied solely on Robinson and London to move the ball against Buffalo, with the duo accounting for 396 of the team's 443 total yards. The 23-year-old remains the best running back in fantasy and will be in primetime again next Sunday night against San Francisco.

Bijan Robinson a High-Floor, High-End RB1 in Week 6

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson eclipsed 100 yards from scrimmage for the fourth straight game in Week 4, which also included his second touchdown of the season (first rushing score) and his second game with at least 100 yards receiving. With a minimum of five targets and three catches in each of the team's first four games, the 23-year-old has one of the highest floors for fantasy of any running back in the league, and the Falcons will likely need him to contribute in that area again in Week 6 if the team hopes to keep pace with the Bills. With Buffalo yielding the second-fewest pass yards per game and Atlanta as 4.5-point underdogs, the Falcons may lean on the run in an attempt to limit Buffalo's possessions, but could find themselves playing catch-up later in the game. Either way, Robinson will be involved, and with LB Matt Milano (pec) ruled out, there should be more holes for the former first-rounder to run through. The third-year pro sets up as a high-end RB1 again in Week 6.

Bijan Robinson Explodes for 181 Yards in Sunday's Win

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson rushed for 75 yards and one touchdown on 17 carries during Sunday's Week 4 win over the Washington Commanders. He also caught four of his five targets for 106 receiving yards. Robinson had a phenomenal day and was a key reason why the Falcons were able to take down the Commanders. He rewarded fantasy managers once again and continues to show why he was the consensus No. 1 running back in fantasy drafts this summer. He'll continue to be viewed as a high-end RB1 on the other side of his Week 5 bye.

Bijan Robinson a Top Option at RB With High Floor

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson has begun the season with three straight games with at least 100 yards from scrimmage, and given his involvement in the passing game, he's got one of the highest floors of any running back in the league. In addition to his 239 yards rushing, the 5-foot-11 back has 14 catches on 18 targets with 164 yards receiving thus far, with his lone touchdown coming through the air as well. Week 4 brings a home matchup against a Washington defense that has been good against the run, yielding only 100.7 rush yards per game and has allowed just one touchdown via the rush. Still, even if Atlanta takes to the air, Robinson will be a key piece, owning a solid 17.31 percent target share. After scoring 14 touchdowns on the ground last season, expect the 23-year-old to get in on the ground sooner rather than later in 2025, perhaps as soon as this Sunday. The former eighth-overall draft pick is locked in as a top option at running back, and that includes this week against the Commanders.

Bijan Robinson an Elite RB1 in Juicy Matchup Versus Carolina

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson rushed for 143 yards on 22 carries in last week's 22-6 victory over the Vikings, adding three catches on five targets for 25 yards as well. That gives him a 100-yard receiving game and a 100-yard rushing game through the first two weeks, proving he's an every-week, matchup-proof fantasy stud. The University of Texas product has scored just once so far, which surprisingly came through the air, but after scoring 14 rush TDs last season, he's bound to start racking up the scores. That time may very well come on Sunday against the Panthers, a game in which the Falcons are five-point favorites and should rely heavily on their ground attack, although the 23-year-old will be involved even if they go to the air. The Panthers were gashed for a league-worst 180 rush yards per game last season, and although they held the Arizona back's in check in Week 2, a pedestrian Travis Etienne Jr. carved them up for 143 yards in Week 1. Robinson is an obvious RB1 in Week 3, who could easily end up as the highest fantasy points-scorer amongst all running backs in this mouthwatering matchup, so deploy with confidence.

Raheem Morris Praises Bijan Robinson

Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris had high praise for running back Bijan Robinson while talking to reporters on Wednesday. "He's definitely the best player in football," Morris said. He may not be wrong. Through the first two weeks of the 2025 NFL season, Robinson checks in as the RB4 in half-PPR scoring with 167 rushing yards on 34 carries. He has added nine receptions on 12 targets for an additional 125 yards (tied for most among RBs) and a touchdown through the air. The 23-year-old's high-end abilities on the ground were on full display in Sunday night's win over the Minnesota Vikings, when he ran for 143 yards on 22 carries. He has started his 2025 campaign with two straight weeks surpassing 100 scrimmage yards and seems primed to make it a third straight in a plus Week 3 divisional matchup against the Carolina Panthers.

Bijan Robinson Rushes for 143 Yards in Week 2

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson dominated the Minnesota Vikings defense in Week 2, rushing for 143 yards on 22 carries in his team's 22-6 victory. Robinson also added three catches for 25 yards on five targets. If there was a negative from Robinson's performance, it was that Falcons RB2 Tyler Allgeier scored the game's only touchdown in a goal-to-go situation. Still, Robinson has now logged 292 yards from scrimmage over the first two games of the season on 43 total touches. He's a must-start fantasy running back with overall RB1 upside.

Bijan Robinson a High-Floor RB1 Despite Tough Matchup

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson ran into a wall in Week 1 versus the Buccaneers, gaining just 24 yards on 12 attempts. However, he salvaged his day in the passing game, garnering seven targets and catching six of them for 100 yards receiving, which included a 50-yard touchdown scamper. The 23-year-old could have a tough go of it on the ground again in Week 2 on the road in Minnesota against a stout Vikings run defense that allowed just 53 yards rushing to running backs in Week 1, and allowed the second-fewest rush yards per game in 2024. Robinson did gain 92 yards against the Vikings in their 2024 matchup, but it took him 22 carries to get there. Averaging more than four targets per game a year ago and with a healthy dose of targets in Week 1, expect the former first-round draft pick to be heavily involved in both phases again, and with his ability to find the end zone, he shapes up as a top-five option at the position in Week 2.

Bijan Robinson Excellent as Receiver

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson was stuffed on the ground, but still had a strong performance against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. Robinson got off to a great start with a 50-yard receiving touchdown on the opening drive. The Falcons continued to throw the ball his way as Robinson couldn't get anything going on the ground. He rushed 12 times for 24 yards in the Week 1 loss. However, Robinson salvaged his fantasy value by hauling in six of his seven targets for 100 yards through the air with one touchdown. He'll hope to have more success on the ground during the Week 2 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.

Bijan Robinson a Top Option at RB in Week 1 Despite Tough Matchup

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson will go up against the division rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Atlanta on Sunday, a team that was able to limit him to 25 carries for 124 yards combined in two games last year. With run-stuffing Vita Vea expected to play for the Bucs in this contest, running the ball could prove challenging again. The 23-year-old running back can contribute through the air as well, though, as he caught 61 passes last year, an average of over three receptions per game, including a seven-catch effort against the Bucs in Week 8. Together with his nose for the end zone (15 total TDs in '24) and the fact that quarterback Michael Penix Jr. will be making just his fourth NFL start, the 23-year-old still projects as a top-three running back for fantasy this week.

Bijan Robinson Says Falcons Have "Outlandish Goals" for the Running Game

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson said that the team has "outlandish goals" for the rushing totals in 2025, even after they lost 20% of their starting offensive line from last year. Robinson was third in the league in rushing in 2024 with 1,456 yards on 304 carries, and he's just one of four RBs with more than 2,400 rushing yards the last two seasons. Tyler Allgeier was 32nd in the NFL with 644 yards on 137 carries last year. If the Falcons' ground game is going to improve, it will primarily need to come through the air, and the coaching staff is optimistic that quarterback Michael Penix Jr. will make strides in his second year in the league. "As many times as we can get the ball in his hands, we're going to do it," Penix said about Robinson. Saquon Barkley is going to be the first RB drafted in most fantasy leagues, but Robinson should be right behind him as the workhorse for a likely run-first offense in Atlanta.

Bijan Robinson Eyeing More Explosive Runs in 2025

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.

Bijan Robinson Runs For 170 Yards With Two Scores In Week 18

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson ran for 170 yards and two touchdowns on 28 attempts during their overtime loss to the Carolina Panthers. Robinson brought in two of his five targets for three yards through the air. Robinson punched in his first score of the afternoon in the second quarter from three yards out. Later in the fourth quarter, Robinson tallied his second touchdown, on a four-yard run. His 28 attempts and 170 yards were the highest totals of his career. Since Week 10, Robinson has tallied at least 90 rushing yards in all but one contest. Overall, the Texas product tallied at least 100 rushing yards five games and tallied 15 total touchdowns. Given his role as the workhorse of the Atlanta offense, he should be viewed as a high-end RB1 heading into the 2025 season and remains an elite dynasty asset.

Bijan Robinson An Elite RB Play Against Porous Panthers Run Defense

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson is expected to get a full workload on Sunday as his team still has designs on making the playoffs. If the Falcons win and the Saints beat the Buccaneers, Atlanta is in. Robinson is having a fantastic season, now top 5 in fantasy scoring for RBs with over 1700 all-purpose yards and 13 total TDs. Not to mention, the last time these two teams met, the 22-year-old stampeded his way to 95 yards and two scores on 15 carries (6.3 YPR), adding three catches for 10 yards as well. The Panthers have been run on all season, allowing the most fantasy points to running backs in all of football. With the playoffs in sight, look for Robinson to rumble his way to top-tier RB1 status on Sunday.

Bijan Robinson Scores Twice In Week 17 Overtime Loss

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson handled 17 carries for 90 yards and scored two touchdowns in Sunday night's 30-24 overtime loss to the Commanders, adding three catches for eight yards as well. Robinson had 13 carries by halftime, but with Washington running two seven-minute-plus drives in the second half, the Falcons did not get a chance to run many plays and when they did, they were passing as they tried to play catch-up in the fourth quarter. It could have been an even more lucrative night as Atlanta ran Robinson out of the wildcat, but when they did so on 1st-and-goal from the five-yard line in the fourth quarter, the snap went over Robinson's head for a huge loss, with the drive ending in a 13-yard TD pass to Kyle Pitts instead. Nevertheless, the second-year pro surely helped fantasy managers to some championships on Sunday, and with one game left to go in the regular season, the former first-round draft pick will face the Panthers at home next week, a team he scored two TDs against earlier this season.

Bijan Robinson A Top-Five Option In Week 17 Versus Commanders

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson handled 23-plus touches last week for the fifth time in the last six contests while adding his fifth and sixth scores during that timeframe as well. Now with over 1500 total yards and 11 touchdowns, the 22-year-old is a top-five fantasy running back on the year and takes on a Commanders rush defense that has yielded the second-most fantasy points to opposing RBs this season. With rookie QB Michael Penix Jr. making just his second career start against a pass defense that has been much more stout over the past four weeks, look for the Falcons to lean heavily on the run game again in Week 17. While the former first-round draft pick has seen his involvement in the passing attack nearly dry up, having not caught more than two passes or gained more than 10 receiving yards in any of the last three games, he remains a top option at running back. View the talented back as a high-end RB1 in Week 17.

Bijan Robinson Scores Twice, Tallies Over 100 Yards In Victory

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson tallied 94 yards and two touchdowns on 22 attempts during their victory over the New York Giants. He brought in both of his targets for nine yards. Both of Robinson's scores came from within the five yard line. With the Falcons having a substantial lead throughout the afternoon, Tyler Allgeier did most of the work in the final quarter. However, Robinson continued to showcase his elite efficiency averaging a solid 4.3 yards per carry. Entering Week 16, Robinson had averaged 4.6 yards per attempt over his past three contests. The former first-round selection has now eclipsed 90+ rushing yards in each of his past four contests and has found the back of the end zone four times over this span. Fantasy managers should continue to view Robinson as an elite RB1 heading into a Week 17 tilt against the Washington Commanders who just surrendered 150 rushing yards to Saquon Barkley.

Bijan Robinson Locked In As A High-End RB1 In Week 16

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson logged at least 20 carries for the fourth time in the last five contests last week and will be expected to carry the load again this week with rookie QB Michael Penix Jr. under center for the Falcons. With eight rushing TDs on the season and a receiving TD to boot, the 22-year-old is a top-five back for fantasy through 15 weeks, and in Week 16 he'll face a generous rush defense in the New York Giants. The Giants have yielded 14 scores on the ground, the second-most rush yards on the season, and the second-highest yards per carry, resulting in the fourth-most fantasy points scored by opposing running backs. While Robinson has seen a drop off in receptions over the last two weeks, his rookie QB will likely use him as a security blanket and the former first-rounder should get back on track in that regard. Deploy Robinson as a top-tier RB1 on Sunday in Atlanta.
