Robinson ran 19 times for 76 yards and didn’t catch his only target, finishing as the RB27. He averaged 4.0 yards per carry with a long of 26. With Penix struggling to complete passes in the weather, Robinson’s receiving role disappeared. Khalil Herbert added 4 carries for 12 yards.
Falcons RB Brian Robinson (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Buccaneers. RB Bijan Robinson's usage didn't noticeably change with Brian out last week, with Khalil Herbert stepping in as the No. 2 RB. But Bijan remains an elite Week 8 fantasy start.
Falcons RB Brian Robinson (hamstring) remained sidelined on Wednesday. RB Bijan Robinson's usage didn't noticeably change with Brian out last week. Atlanta used Khalil Herbert as the No. 2 RB. Bijan, of course, remains a must-start regardless of Brian's status for Sunday's game vs. the Buccaneers.
The Bijan Robinson manager in your league probably felt amazing after the star RB delivered consecutive 2-TD outings upon the return of QB Michael Penix Jr. But the touchdowns have disappeared over the past three games. Robinson posted 63 scoreless yards on 20 carries in Sunday's win over the 49ers, adding 59 yards on 5 receptions. That stat line puts him just 16th among Week 7 RBs, with the Monday night game still to go. Robinson also finished RB32 and RB14 the previous two weeks, following a pair of top-5 performances.
Falcons RB Brian Robinson (hamstring) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the 49ers. He’s averaged 8.8 carries per game on a 31% snap rate this season. Expect RB Bijan Robinson to pick up most of that work. Atlanta has RBs Khalil Herbert and Jam Miller on the practice squad.
Falcons RB Brian Robinson (hamstring) went from a limited practice on Wednesday to no practice on Thursday. He's seemingly in danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the 49ers. Robinson's absence would likely mean even more work for RB Bijan Robinson. RBs Khalil Herbert and Jam Miller are on Atlanta's practice squad.
Falcons QB Michael Penix is expected to start Sunday's game vs. the Bears, barring a setback with his rib injury, HC Kevin Stefanski said. Penix has ignited Atlanta's offense with efficient passing the past 3 weeks, completing 67.5% of his throws at 9.3 yards per attempt. His availability is good news for all of the Falcons' skill-position players, particularly WR Drake London.
Despite not accounting for a TD in the Falcons overtime loss to the Ravens, Robinson still managed to finish as an RB1 pending Monday Night Football. He carried 17 times for 86 yards while hauling in four of 7 targets for another 32 yards on his way to 15.8 PPR points. The fourth-year RB has now accounted for at least 100 yards in four of five games this season.
Robinson producing another high-ranking week quickly became inevitable after he took his first rush attempt of the game for a 59-yard TD. He then went on to handle 18 more carries on his way to 145 total rushing yards and 2 TDs along with catching one of his 2 targets for two more yards. Robinson concluded Monday Night Football with 27.7 PPR points to finish as an RB1 for the third time this season.
Falcons RB Bijan Robinson supplied the lone bright spot for an Atlanta offense that managed only 13 points at Pittsburgh. The 24-year-old racked up 173 yards and a TD on 29 touches.
The Athletic's Josh Kendall believes RB Tyler Goodson could be pushing RB Brian Robinson for the No. 2 spot on the depth chart.
Bijan Robinson has agreed to a three-year extension with the Falcons. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the contract carries a base value of $66.75 million, with a max value of $75 million. That's a range of $22.25 million per year to $25 million. That eclipses Saquon Barkley's previous high for average annual value among RBs at $20.6 million.
The Falcons held their first training camp practice on Wednesday, but star RB Bijan Robinson didn't participate. Robinson is likely seeking a long-term contract ahead of his fourth NFL season.
As expected, the Falcons have picked up RB Bijan Robinson’s fifth-year option. The move keeps him under team control through the 2027 season.
Former 49ers RB Brian Robinson Jr. is expected to sign with the Atlanta Falcons as a likely replacement for Tyler Allgeier, who signed with the Cardinals at the start of free agency. Robinson opened his NFL career with three straight 700+ rushing-yard seasons in Washington, peaking with 8 TDs in 2024. He was traded to the 49ers before the 2025 season. After spending a year backing up Christian McCaffrey, Robinson now projects as the No. 2 behind Bijan Robinson.
The Falcons are hiring Kevin Stefanski as their new HC. He's expected to retain DC Jeff Ulbrich and bring Tommy Rees with him from Cleveland to serve as OC, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Stefanski spent the past six seasons as Browns HC, compiling a 45-56 record. He went 37-30 with two playoff appearances over the first four years, the first of two coming with QB Baker Mayfield. Stefanski was in Minnesota for 14 seasons prior to Cleveland, serving as OC in his final year there. That 2019 Vikings team was quarterbacked by Kirk Cousins, who remains signed with the Falcons as of now. QB Michael Penix is also on the roster but is working back from ACL surgery that's expected to sideline him into August. QB is the big question for Atlanta heading into 2026. But Stefanski will be armed with a sturdy offensive line and a pair of high-end skill players in RB Bijan Robinson and WR Drake London.
The Falcons fired HC Raheem Morris, according to multiple reports. Atlanta went 8-9 in each of Morris' two seasons, failing to reach the playoffs either year. OC Zac Robinson will likely be gone, too, although that hasn't been confirmed. The Falcons have elite offensive building blocks in RB Bijan Robinson and WR Drake London, plus an above-average offensive line. The defense flashed at times this season, even though it tailed off over the second half. QB is the big question mark for this team going forward after Michael Penix's season ended with yet another knee injury. We'll see who the Falcons tab to replace Morris and Robinson, but this team certainly has upside in 2026 and beyond.
Update: The Falcons also fired GM Terry Fontenot.
