Robinson led the NFL in yards from scrimmage last season with 2,298 yards and had the longest run (93-yard TD vs. Rams in Week 16), but scored only 11 TDs; with red-zone vulture Tyler Allgeier now in Arizona, Robinson is positioned for a significant TD increase in Atlanta's new offense.NegativeRoleJul 31, 2026
Consensus top-two fantasy pick is seeking a new deal; reporting to training camp but holding in by not practicing. Both Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs are in similar situations with their respective teams (Falcons and Lions).

Robinson is ranked in Tier I (The Absolute Studs) alongside J. Gibbs, elevated into their own tier due to the departures of David Montgomery and Tyler Allgeier, who combined for 31 rushing TDs over the past two seasons. Robinson catches a lot of passes, and if Tua Tagovailoa is the starter in Atlanta, the sky is the limit for Robinson as a receiver.PositiveProjectionNo date
Robinson is ranked RB2 and locked into the top-five in all non-Superflex formats. He was the RB3 on RB8 usage last year despite Tyler Allgeier handling 10 inside-the-five carries to Robinson's 11, suggesting his numbers would be outrageous without Allgeier.

New play-caller Kevin Stefanski from the Browns will adapt his offense to personnel, and the ball will go to Robinson, Drake London, and Kyle Pitts Sr. all game long.NegativeProjectionNo date
If something ever happens to Bijan Robinson, Drake London can flirt with the best receiving production in the NFL, as London would absorb additional offensive touches and targets.
