• Falcons' Bijan Robinson: Finds end zone twice in loss

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Robinson carried the ball 20 times for 116 yards and two touchdowns and caught three of four targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Saints. The second-year running back set a season high in rushing yards while accounting for both of Atlanta's touchdowns, including a dazzling 37-yard run late in the third quarter that ended up being the final score of the afternoon. Robinson has topped 100 scrimmage yards in five straight contests, amassing 643 yards and six total TDs over that stretch, and he'll look to keep rolling in a Week 11 road clash with the Broncos.

• Falcons' Bijan Robinson: Piles up yardage against Dallas

  11D ago • By RotoWire

  Robinson carried the ball 19 times for 86 yards and caught all seven of his targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 27-21 win over the Cowboys. The 145 scrimmage yards were a season high for Robinson, and the second-year RB has hit triple digits in four straight games and six of nine so far in 2024. His performance could have been even bigger, but Tyler Allgeier vultured a six-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter after Robinson had done most of the work to get Atlanta into the red zone. Robinson will look to keep rolling in Week 10 against a reeling Saints defense that just gave up two rushing TDs to Chuba Hubbard in a loss to the Panthers.

• Falcons' Bijan Robinson: Hits 100 total yards in win

  18D ago • By RotoWire

  Robinson rushed 13 times for 63 yards and secured all six targets for 37 yards and a touchdown in the Falcons' 31-26 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday. Robinson logged just one more carry than backfield mate Tyler Allgeier but outgained him by 30 rushing yards, and he also was the only one of the two to be involved in the passing game. Robinson's reception total was a season high, and he also recorded his first receiving touchdown of the campaign on a six-yard grab late in the third quarter. The timeshare in the Falcons' backfield continues to be a source of consternation for fantasy managers, but Robinson's robust receiving role continues to afford him a solid floor heading into a Week 9 home matchup against the Cowboys.

• Falcons' Bijan Robinson: Best game as pro

  10/14/2024 • By RotoWire

  Robinson rushed 15 times for 95 yards and a pair of touchdowns while catching three of four targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 38-20 win over the Panthers. Robinson scored twice in the first half en route to arguably his best game as a pro in the win over Carolina. The 2023 first-round pick had been averaging 57.0 rushing yards over his previous five contests with just one total touchdown over that span, so Sunday's showing could be the beginning of a hot streak for the talented back. Robinson should be considered a high-end play next Sunday against Seattle and its 27th-ranked rush defense.

• Falcons' Bijan Robinson: Limited in practice again

  10/01/2024 • By RotoWire

  Robinson (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity Tuesday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. Robinson has now logged back-to-back limited practice sessions due to a hamstring issue. As he's facing a short week of rest prior to Thursday's key divisional matchup against the Buccaneers, the extent of Robinson's participation in Wednesday's practice will be telling. If he enters Thursday's matchup at anything less than 100 percent, Atlanta could opt to lean on Tyler Allgeier more heavily than usual in the running game.
