Falcons' Bijan Robinson: Fifth-year option exercised
The Atlanta Falcons picked up the fifth-year option of Bijan Robinson's rookie contract Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.The transaction keeps Robinson under contract through 2027 and provides Atlanta more time to negotiate a potential long-term extension, so it's little surprise to see the team pick up the 2023 first-round pick's fifth-year option. Robinson has compiled back-to-back years with over 1,400 rushing yards, and in 2025 he added a 79-829-4 receiving line (104 targets) while suiting up for all 17 regular-season games. The star running back also had seven rushing scores and a career-high 5.1 YPC mark in 2025. Even given the uncertainty surrounding Atlanta's offense -- there's a QB battle between Michael Penix (knee) and Tua Tagovailoa looming this offseason, and the surprise retirement of RT Kaleb McGary (leg) has prompted the team to sign Jawaan Taylor -- Robinson is firmly in the mix for consideration as not only the top RB off the board in 2026 fantasy drafts, but as the No.1 overall selection.

Falcons' Bijan Robinson: Bottled up in season-ending win
Bijan Robinson rushed 15 times for 33 yards and brought in all three targets for 10 yards in the Atlanta Falcons' 19-17 win over the Saints on Sunday.Fresh off a memorable 195-yard effort on the ground against the Rams on Monday night, Robinson was stonewalled -- albeit while having a rushing touchdown called back due to an offensive holding penalty -- by a Saints defense that had frequently been vulnerable to the run over the course of the season. Robinson's yardage tally on the ground was his lowest since Week 8, but despite Sunday's downturn, the 2023 first-round pick finished the 2025 campaign with a career-high 1,478 rushing yards, seven rushing touchdowns and a career-best 79-820-4 receiving line while playing in all 17 games for the second consecutive season.

Falcons' Bijan Robinson: Record-filled effort in upset win
Bijan Robinson rushed 22 times for 195 yards and a touchdown and brought in five of eight targets for 34 yards and another score in the Atlanta Falcons' 27-24 win over the Rams on Monday night.It was truly a night for the ages for Robinson, who provided some luster to a non-playoff season for the Falcons with a career-best effort in the penultimate game of the campaign. Not only was Robinson's rushing yardage total a new single-game career high, the 93-yard touchdown scamper late in the first half that was integral in getting him there was also the longest run in franchise history. Robinson also extended his streak of recording at least five catches to three games while tallying a receiving TD for the second consecutive contest. Additionally, his production on the ground leaves him just 12 yards short of eclipsing the 1,456 rushing yards he posted last season as the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Saints approaches Sunday.

Falcons' Bijan Robinson: Posts WR1 numbers Sunday
Bijan Robinson rushed 16 times for 76 yards while adding seven receptions on 11 targets for 92 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-19 win over Arizona.Robinson split backfield work nearly evenly with backup Tyler Allgeier (16-79-0) in Sunday's road win, but it was the former's work as a receiver that ultimately led to a standout fantasy performance. The 23-year-old Robinson has been generating WR1-type production over Atlanta's last two contests (15-174-1) while reaching double-digit targets in each game. The dual-threat superstar eclipsed the 2,000-yard mark in total yards from scrimmage with Sunday's balanced output. Robinson should continue playing a huge role in the Atlanta Falcons' late-season boon on offense when the team hosts the Rams for Monday Night Football in Week 17.

Falcons' Bijan Robinson: Racks up 175 total yards in win
Bijan Robinson rushed 19 times for 93 yards and a touchdown and secured eight of 11 targets for 82 yards in the Atlanta Falcons' 29-28 win over the Buccaneers on Thursday night.On a night when the usually moribund Falcons offense sprung to life, Robinson was the unit's most prolific all-around contributor yardage-wise among the non-QB skill-position players, narrowly edging out a terrific performance from Kyle Pitts (11-166-3). Robinson also went in for his sixth rushing touchdown of the season from six yards out in the fourth quarter, and he extended his streak of consecutive games with at least 70 rushing yards to six. Robinson's catch total was also a new season high, while his receiving yardage qualified as his third highest of the campaign. The elite back should be teed up for another heavy workload in an appealing Week 16 road matchup against the Cardinals on Sunday, Dec. 21.

Falcons' Bijan Robinson: Just short of 100 scrimmage yards
Bijan Robinson carried the ball 20 times for 86 yards and caught both his targets for eight yards in Sunday's 37-9 loss to the Seahawks. He also lost a fumble.The third-year RB reached 1,000 rushing yards for the season on his first carry, but that might have been the high point of the day for the Atlanta offense. Robinson saw his streak of games with at least 100 scrimmage yards end at three, and through 13 contests he's produced 1,081 rushing yards and five TDs along with a 56-604-2 line on 70 targets. He'll look to get back to triple digits in yardage in a Week 15 tilt against Tampa Bay.

Falcons' Bijan Robinson: Nearly 200 yards in loss to Jets
Bijan Robinson rushed 23 times for 142 yards and a touchdown while catching five of seven targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Jets.Robinson posted his second-highest total of the season with 193 scrimmage yards. He was stopped for no gain on first-and-goal from the one-yard line late in the first half and watched Tyler Allgeier power in a game-tying one-yard touchdown on the next play. Bijan produced a rushing touchdown of his own with a five-yard scoring run in the third quarter, but it was only his fifth touchdown run of the season compared to Allgeier's eight. Robinson has produced at least 107 scrimmage yards in three consecutive games and in eight of 12 games overall heading into a Week 14 home game against Seattle's stout run defense.

Falcons' Bijan Robinson: Gains over 100 yards from scrimmage
Bijan Robinson took 14 carries for 70 yards while corralling both of his targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 24-10 win over New Orleans.Robinson failed to replicate last week's two-score effort against the Panthers, but he stayed above the century mark in total yards with an efficient day as both a runner and receiver. Backfield mate Tyler Allgeier garnered 13 touches, but his production was dwarfed by Atlanta's starter after finishing with just 49 yards from scrimmage. Robinson's success with QB Kirk Cousins under center Sunday helped quell concerns from fantasy managers regarding a potential dip in production after Michael Penix (knee) was placed on injured reserve this past week. Robinson should continue to be treated as an RB1 in fantasy for next Sunday's favorable matchup against the Jets.

Falcons' Bijan Robinson: Two TDs in 27-touch outing
Bijan Robinson rushed 23 times for 104 yards and two touchdowns and secured four of five targets for 39 yards in the Atlanta Falcons' 30-27 overtime loss to the Panthers on Sunday.Robinson put together a signature performance, recording four- and one-yard touchdown runs in the first half. Robinson's yardage marked his third occasion over the century mark this season, and his first multi-TD game on the ground as well. The third-year pro's carry total was also a new season high, affording him plenty of momentum heading into a Week 12 road matchup against the Saints. Robinson could be leaned on even more than usual in that game if Michael Penix (knee) is unavailable.

Falcons' Bijan Robinson: Cedes red-zone work to Allgeier
Bijan Robinson carried the ball 17 times for 84 yards and caught both his targets for four yards in Sunday's 31-25 overtime loss to the Colts.While the third-year back posted his best rushing yardage total since Week 6, he was denied a much bigger performance, as Tyler Allgeier punched in a pair of one-yard TDs in his place. Robinson hasn't scored a rushing touchdown in four straight games, his longest drought since his rookie season, as a result of the increased red-zone usage for his backup, and he has just two rushing scores on the year compared to Allgeier's six. Robinson will try to hit paydirt in Week 11 against the Panthers, a team he's scored five total touchdowns against (four on the ground, one through the air) in five career meetings.
