Bijan Robinson

The Arthur Smith experiment capsized what could have been an enormous rookie season for Robinson. He ranked ninth in snap share, third in targets, sixth in receptions, and fourth in receiving yards among running backs, but he finished as the RB17 in fantasy points per game. Robinson was the RB12 in expected fantasy points per game, but his opportunity share ranked 31st, and he was also 32nd in red zone touches with Smith's insistence on utilizing Tyler Allgeier. If Robinson receives the bulk of the high-leverage touches under the new Falcons regime, he should crush in 2024. Last year, he ranked 23rd in explosive run rate, 17th in yards after contact per attempt, and 25th in yards per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). Robinson is a locked-in RB1 for 2024.

Falcons coach Raheem Morris said Bijan Robinson could be able to participate in the team’s mandatory minicamp in June.

Fantasy Impact

It was reported on Tuesday that Robinson is expected to be limited during OTAs as he deals with an ankle injury. "...He’s progressing well. He’s been out there. He’s in great spirits," Morris said.
