Robinson faces the Buccaneers defense, which is actually better against the run than pass. If the Buccaneers can slow down Robinson, they slow down the passing game efficiency as well, as part of their overall elite defensive performance.

Robinson has consistently struggled to get going against the Buccaneers run defense throughout his career. His career high against Tampa is 93 yards (late last year), with no other games above 63 yards. The Falcons survived a pedestrian day from Robinson against the 49ers, but if the Bucs can shut him down again while impacting Penix, it could be a long afternoon for Atlanta's offense.

Robinson was stifled on the ground by San Francisco's defense in Week 7, forcing the Falcons' offense to rely heavily on the passing game to deliver against the 49ers; the running game was largely ineffective, making early-down passing gains necessary to manufacture long drives.

Stifled on the ground against San Francisco's defense; the 49ers effectively shut down the running game, forcing the Falcons to rely on the passing attack.

Robinson's receiving role has contracted significantly. He was used as an extra wide receiver on 29% of routes in 2025, down to 19% in 2026. More critically, he's stuck with pass protection duties on 29% of passing plays, up from 15% in 2025. While still heavily involved in the pass game, he's not the weapon he was last year.

Robinson is currently RB3 but feels like a draft mistake. On a points-per-game basis, he's being out-scored by 5 of 12 first-round picks by August ADP. The key difference from his RB1 2025 season is receiving output: he's dropped from 10.4 PPR PPG from receiving production to 7.1 PPG in 2026.

Bijan Robinson has already tied Kenneth Walker for the league lead with seven long runs and shows room for statistical improvement as a receiver; combined with his eye-test appeal and the Falcons' improved offensive function under Michael Penix Jr., Robinson is positioned to win Offensive Player of the Year.

Bijan Robinson is positioned as a 7-1 favorite for Offensive Player of the Year, with upside driven by Michael Penix Jr.'s season debut improving the Falcons' offensive function; Robinson's numbers were solid even with Cooper Rush at quarterback, and Atlanta's surprisingly stout defense should enable more run-first situations in the final 10 games, supporting his candidacy.

Running back's performance was affected by the 49ers' elite run defense.

Interesting trend to note with Bijan Robinson (positive TD regression incoming?) He hasn't scored a rushing TD since Week 4 or a receiving TD since Week 1 He only has 1 rush attempt inside the 5-yard line over his last three games He only has 1 target inside the 10-yard line over his last six games This is a very limited buy window for a top-tier asset Metrics per @FantasyPtsData
