Bijan Robinson Week 3 Outlook - Chiefs at Falcons

By Mick Ciallela (Fantrax), Wed, Sep 18th 2024, 5:38pm EDT

Fantasy managers who invested a top pick on Bijan Robinson should be encouraged by the running back's early usage. Robinson has averaged 20.5 touches per game this year after averaging 16.9 last year (excluding a game in which he left early). That increased usage has resulted in two top-20 weekly finishes for Robinson despite him not yet scoring a touchdown. Robinson has a tough matchup against a Kansas City defense allowing just 3.8 yards per rush to opposing running backs. But the volume should be there in a game where Atlanta may try to lean on the running game to keep Patrick Mahomes off the field.
