Bijan Robinson

Bijan Robinson had 28 rushes for 170 yards and two touchdowns in the Falcons’ Week 18 loss against the Panthers, adding two catches for three yards.

In a loss that eliminated the Falcons from postseason contention, Robinson was a true workhorse, as he has been for much of the 2024 season. He regularly gashed the Carolina front seven and glided into a end zone twice with little resistance. Robinson posted 1,456 rushing yards and racked up 14 rushing scores in an Atlanta offense that ranked among the NFL’s run heaviest in 2024. First-year OC Zac Robinson committed to Bijan as the team’s unquestioned lead back — a relief for fantasy managers who had been stung by former Falcons head coach Arthur Smith’s curious usage of the former first-round pick. Robinson finishes the season third in running back receptions and was graded by Pro Football Focus as the league’s eighth best pass-catching back. With Tyler Allgeier banished to distant RB2 status, Robinson should be a top-five selection in all fantasy formats next summer.
