Falcons' Bijan Robinson: Finds end zone twice in loss
Bijan 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
Bijan 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
Bijan Robinson rushed 13 times for 63 yards and secured all six targets for 37 yards and a touchdown in the Atlanta 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: Accrues 143 total yards in loss
Bijan Robinson rushed 21 times for 103 yards and a touchdown and brought in three of five targets for 40 yards in the Atlanta Falcons' 34-14 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.Robinson enjoyed a true lead-back role despite the lopsided loss, outpacing backfield mate Tyler Allgeier by 16 carries. Robinson's carry total actually was a season high, and his receiving yardage tally was his third of at least 40 on the campaign. He also recorded his third touchdown in the last two games with a five-yard run just past the midway point of the second quarter, affording him plenty of momentum heading into a key Week 8 road clash against the NFC South rival Buccaneers.

Falcons' Bijan Robinson: Best game as pro
Bijan 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: Cleared to play against Panthers
Bijan Robinson (hamstring) practiced fully Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.Robinson was limited in Thursday's practice due to a hamstring injury, which presumably is the same injury that cut into his Week 5 practice time before the second-year running back ultimately suited up for a 36-30 overtime win over the Buccaneers. He's underwhelmed after being a consensus first-round pick in fantasy drafts, but he has a golden opportunity to break out Sunday against a Panthers defense that has allowed a league-high nine rushing touchdowns to running backs this season.

Falcons' Bijan Robinson: Limited by hamstring
Bijan Robinson was limited in practice Thursday due to a hamstring injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.Robinson also tended to a hamstring issue in advance of last Thursday's overtime win against the Buccaneers, so his addition to the Atlanta Falcons' injury report midweek may be maintenance-related. He was able to handle a typical workload Week 5 en route to 15 touches for 77 yards from scrimmage, but it remains to be seen if he'll avoid a game designation for a second week in a row.

Falcons' Bijan Robinson: Compiles 76 total yards in win
Bijan Robinson rushed 12 times for 61 yards and brought in all three targets for 16 yards in the Atlanta Falcons' 36-30 overtime win over the Buccaneers on Thursday night.Robinson was disappointingly limited to his second-lowest carry total of the season, although he at least saw an appreciable uptick from the seven rush attempts he'd logged in Week 4 against the Saints. The second-year back did extend his season-opening streak of games with multiple receptions, but after five games in new coordinator Zac Robinson's offense, many of the same frustrations related to sub-optimal leveraging of Bijan's skill set persist as he awaits his first 20-carry game. The Falcons did take an unusually pass-heavy approach Thursday night -- Kirk Cousins put the ball up 59 times -- so perhaps Robinson will see a larger workload in a highly favorable Week 6 road matchup against the Panthers on Sunday, Oct. 13.

Falcons' Bijan Robinson: In clear for Week 5
Bijan Robinson (hamstring) doesn't have a designation for Thursday's game against the Buccaneers.Robinson was listed as a limited practice participant on Monday's estimated injury report due to a hamstring injury and followed it up with a cap on his reps at Tuesday's walkthrough. However, he was able to end Week 5 prep with a full session Wednesday and thus is ready to play Thursday. Through four games this season, Robinson has racked up 70 touches for 359 yards from scrimmage and one rushing score.

Falcons' Bijan Robinson: Feels ready for Thursday night
Bijan Robinson (hamstring) said Wednesday he's "ready to go for [Thursday]," when the Atlanta Falcons will take on the Buccaneers in Atlanta, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.Robinson downplayed his presence on Atlanta's injury report, saying he's dealing with "little nicks and bruises." He's been listed as limited in back-to-back estimated practice sessions after having also dealt with a shoulder injury before being cleared for the Falcons' win over the Saints in Week 4. Atlanta will release its final Week 4 practice report later Wednesday, when it will be known whether Robinson has upgraded to full participation. While Robinson doesn't look to be in danger of sitting out Thursday, the fact that he's banged up could compel the Falcons to hand backup Tyler Allgeier an increased role on a short week.
