Robinson

Robinson did lose a fumble on one of his receptions, if you’re looking for a negative. It comes on a night where the Falcons gave Tyler Allgeier just two total carries, and none of them close to the end zone. His touchdown was a walk-in from six yards out, and it gives him six on the season. Obviously, Robinson is an RB1 going forward, and he should see a considerable amount of touches against the Cardinals in Week 15.

Raheem Morris stayed committed to his ground game as long as possible, loading Robinson up with touches despite the Falcons eventually losing by 28. Even Tyler Allgeier managed 11 carries plus two catches. Allgeier also stole goal line work from Robinson, though he failed to convert on his opportunities in the paint. Red zone theft aside, Robinson’s role remained elite in this game. It’s simply going to be hard for Robinson to get home for fantasy managers every week with Kirk Cousins sinking the offense. Robinson will remain in the middle of the RB1 pack for his Week 15 date with the Bucs.

Robinson’s 193 yards from scrimmage were his most since Week 6, and second most of the season. This being the Falcons, he did manage to get vultured by Tyler Allgeier for a score, but Robinson actually returned the favor when Allgeier got the Falcons to the Jets’ eight-yard line in the third quarter. Approaching 200 yards from scrimmage in this offensive environment is a major accomplishment, but it probably requires a hapless opponent like the Jets. The Falcons don’t have that for Week 14 in the Seahawks, though the game is at least at home at 1PM ET. That’s one long plane ride for Seattle and company. Hopefully 120-plus yards remain on the menu.

It was a relatively quiet day for Robinson, though he still totaled 107 yards on 16 touches. The Falcons never really got close enough for goal-line carries to be impactful in this one and Robinson’s best plays were explosive runs as he also added a two-point conversion. He had a 32-yard rush to get into the red zone in the first quarter and a 32-yard reception to get into Saints territory in the fourth quarter, both supporting scoring drives. Tyler Allgeier is still a threat to take short-yardage carries, but Robinson’s explosive burst keeps him in the RB1 ranks. He gets a good matchup against the Jets defense for Week 13.

Robinson was on pace for a truly monstrous day in the first half. He scored on the Falcons’ second and third drives of the game. Atlanta then got down to the one-yard line on their next drive, setting him up for a hat trick before halftime. The team instead sent out Tyler Allgeier to punch in a one-year score. Robinson was still involved throughout the second half, but Atlanta struggled to get much going on offense with Michael Penix sidelined because of a knee injury. Atlanta’s lead slowly slipped away and Robinson was left with “only” 24.3 PPR points. Kirk Cousins drawing the start next week would be a downgrade for Atlanta, but nothing will prevent Robinson from sticking at the top of the RB1 ranks heading into a Week 12 date with the Saints.

Robinson’s yardage total was solid, per usual, but he lost out on two rushing touchdowns to Tyler Allgeier. Robinson saw one red zone carry and it came at exactly the 20-yard line. Allgeier, on the other hand, earned five red zone opportunities and punched in both of his scores from one yard out. He totaled 11 carries. Robinson easily out-touched Allgeier, but the lack of high-value touches could be a problem for him going forward. Despite the disappointing Week 10, Robinson will remain near the top of the RB1 ranks for his Week 11 date with the Panthers.

The Falcons offense continues to run through Robinson as he saw 10 targets from Michael Penix Jr. on the day. Screen passes, checkdowns, and other movement behind the line of scrimmage to get Robinson going led to his enormous target count. His longest run went for 15 yards, though the Falcons seldom ran the ball in the red zone; Drake London instead made three excellent catches for short scores. A 20-touch day shows Robinson’s consistent floor and the 23-year-old remains a high-end RB1 for Week 10 against the Colts in Berlin.

It was a nightmare game for Robinson from start to finish. He never threatened to hit a home run, topping out at a seven-yard carry. His lowlight of the day came on a fumble where he stumbled, his knee hit the ball, and it popped out of his hands for a turnover. Robinson finished the day by watching Tyler Allgeier score a short touchdown from the sidelines. It was, by all accounts, the worst game of Robinson’s season. Better days will be ahead for the star running back, especially with a weak Patriots defense on tap in Week 9. He remains at the top of the RB1 ranks despite the quiet Week 8.

The Falcons struggled to move the football against a beat-up San Francisco defense in the face of consistent pressure from Robert Saleh, gaining just 292 yards of total offense while lowering their league-low 11 points per game on the road in 2025. Robinson was able to contribute solid counting stats for fantasy managers regardless while scoring the only touchdown for the Falcons, buoying his fantasy score by 17.2 points in PPR formats. He remains an elite asset, particularly so ahead of a matchup with the reeling Dolphins in Week 8.

The highlight of the game for Robinson was an 81-yard touchdown run on an outside zone attempt at the beginning of the second quarter to put the team up by two scores, which went down as the longest run of Robinson’s already electric career. He accounted for over half of the team’s 443 total yards of offense on a night they played without Darnell Mooney due to injury, also combining with alpha wide receiver Drake London to account for 236 of quarterback Michael Penix’s 250 yards through the air. It was a truly dominant performance from one of the league’s top backs, and he’ll look to keep the momentum going when the Falcons travel to the Bay area to face the 49ers in Week 7.
