Bijan Robinson — 2026 Fantasy Outlook

More on Robinson

Robinson made an immediate impression in his NFL debut, racking up 83 combined yards, six catches, and a touchdown. The one blemish was situational — Atlanta's coaching staff kept him off the goal line, handing Tyler Allgeier three carries inside the five-yard line, two of which resulted in touchdowns.

That theme carried through much of the season. Over the following 16 games, Allgeier ground out a pedestrian 3.6 yards per carry on 171 attempts. At the same time, Robinson outpaced him by nearly a full yard per rush, finishing with 920 yards on 204 carries at 4.5 per attempt and four touchdowns. One ugly detour came in Week 7, when Robinson played just 11 snaps due to illness, a fact the team neglected to mention before kickoff, much to the dismay of fantasy managers. Goal-line work remained scarce all season, with Robinson receiving only three carries inside the five-yard line compared to Allgeier's six.

When given room to operate, Robinson was a legitimate fantasy asset. He cracked 20.00 PPR points four times (20.30, 21.20, 27.30, and 26.10) and maintained a floor of at least 10.00 points in 14 outings.

In 2024, any lingering role questions disappeared entirely. Atlanta leaned on Robinson early and heavily, and he rewarded that trust with a dominant ground performance (1,456 yards and 14 touchdowns on 304 carries), averaging 4.8 yards per attempt. His receiving work also ticked up, hauling in 61 catches from 72 targets despite fewer big plays in the passing game (7.1 yards per catch and just one receiving touchdown). He was on the field for 75.3% of Atlanta's offensive snaps.

Five 100-yard rushing performances punctuated the year (21/103/1, 20/116/2, 26/102/1, 22/125, and 28/170/2), but his best football came down the stretch. Over his final six starts, Robinson carried 137 times for 673 yards and eight touchdowns, adding 16 catches for 72 yards — a torrid finish that translated to 23.08 fantasy points per game in PPR formats. He topped 20.00 points in 10 of his last 12 games and never fell below 10.30, cementing himself as one of the more reliable fantasy backs in the league.

Robinson’s rise to stardom reached new heights in 2025, thanks to his impressive success catching the ball (79/820/4 – 10.4 yards per catch). He upped his yards per rush (5.1) while gaining 20 yards or more on 18 of his 363 touches. Six plays reach the 40-yard mark. For the second consecutive year, Robinson was a difference-maker from Week 15 to Week 17 (30.50, 29.80, and 39.90 PPR fantasy points), when league and overall championships were won. He also had five other impact games (24.40, 28.10, 35.80, 30.30, and 30.50). Robinson has 50 starts across his first 51 games in the NFL.
