The Athletic's Josh Kendall expects Robinson to have a goal-line role for the Falcons this season.
"He has shown a physical style in practice that cements his role as the new Tyler Allgeier," Kendall wrote. "Bijan Robinson fantasy managers may not like how many goal-line carries he gets." Allgeier, of course, was a thorn in the side of Bijan's fantasy investors last season, out-carrying Atlanta's lead back 19 to 17 inside the 10-yard line while matching him with seven carries apiece inside the five-yard line. Allgeier also punched in four of those seven carries for touchdowns, while Bijan scored on just two of his chances. At 6-foot-1 and 225 pounds, the team's newest Robinson profiles similarly to Allgeier as a short-yardage, between-the-tackles type who can pick up tough yards. It sounds like the former Commander and 49er is going to have some sort of role in those situations for the Falcons this season, which could mute Bijan's touchdown upside.
