Robinson is the focal point of the Falcons offense; the Panthers' Week 2 defensive strategy will center on containing him. If Carolina can bottle up Robinson, they should be able to secure a road win in Atlanta.

The source states it does not want to deal with the Dallas offense outside of Bijan Robinson, implying Robinson is the only reliable fantasy asset in an offense hampered by the Cooper Rush quarterback situation. This suggests Robinson maintains a workhorse role and is the primary fantasy target despite the team's quarterback limitations.

Robinson handled 29 touches, produced 173 scrimmage yards and scored as a receiver in Week 1's 20-13 loss to Pittsburgh. The source states 'Bijan is fine' and notes the game plan basically became give Bijan the football and pray he makes somebody miss. Robinson is the only Falcons player the source wants to start.

Bijan Robinson played 46 snaps in Week 1 against the Steelers; the source notes the Falcons did far more shuffling of skill position players than typical under Zac Robinson, with all five receivers getting on the field for at least ten snaps and tons of two tight end looks, suggesting the Week 1 snap distribution may not be representative of future usage.

Robinson fumbled twice in Week 1 loss to Steelers, recovering one himself; turnover margin (-1) was a key factor in the defeat and will be a point of emphasis for the Falcons this week and beyond, with head coach Kevin Stefanski noting that teams on the wrong side of turnover margin do not tend to win those games.

Robinson played 77% of snaps and accounted for 31 of 40 RB opportunities (77.5%), with a 52.6% target share that led all players in Week 1 and was the highest single-game number by an RB since at least 2011, per JJ Zachariason. The source expresses frustration that elite RBs like Bijan and Jahmyr Gibbs accept contracts much smaller than defensive players, questioning why Bijan wouldn't get $30 million per year if he hit free agency in his mid-20s.

Robinson received checkdowns from Cooper Rush, who struggled to do anything other than dump passes to him; this limited passing game approach may change when Michael Penix Jr. returns healthy.

With Atlanta limping into the contest on their third-string quarterback, Bijan Robinson was in-line for a major workload against Pittsburgh and delivered. Robinson led Atlanta in both rushing (21 carries for 83 yards) and receiving (eight receptions on 10 targets for 90 yards and a touchdown). No other player was particularly close in either category. The Falcons are crossing their fingers that Michael Penix Jr. can return for Week 2.

Robinson benefited from Cooper Rush's checkdown-heavy approach, receiving dump-offs as the backup quarterback was unable to push the ball downfield. This usage pattern could continue if the Falcons' quarterback situation remains unsettled.

Robinson, an All-Pro running back, was mostly bottled up by the Steelers defense despite lining up in the opposing backfield. He averaged just four yards across his 21 carries. The source notes that the Steelers' defensive line and linebackers' combined production was more than enough to contain him on the ground.

Robinson was the Falcons' entire offensive engine in Week 1, accounting for most of Atlanta's offense and their only touchdown; fumbling remains a concern (4 times last year, 2 in final 5 weeks), but this is manageable given his offensive centrality.

PositiveUsageSep 14, 2026The Falcoholic

Robinson dominated Atlanta's offensive output with 21 carries for 83 yards, 8 catches for 90 yards, and 1 TD, accounting for approximately two-thirds of the Falcons' total yardage. He converted errant Cooper Rush passes into positive gains and scored on a screen pass with key blocks from Charlie Woerner and Chris Blair in the first quarter. Despite fumbling twice in this game, Robinson remains a foundational player who gives the Falcons a fighting chance every week even as their only offensive dimension.

Robinson accounted for most of Atlanta's offense and their one touchdown in the Falcons' loss to Pittsburgh; he is the entire offense for the team. His fumbling has been a concern—he fumbled four times last year and twice in the final five weeks, meaning four times over his last six games—but this is something the team hopes will improve as the season progresses.
