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.

Bijan Robinson hit the 20-carry mark in back-to-back games for the first time this season, but Robinson was held to 86 rushing yards and no TDs in Atlanta's 37-9 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The Falcons were officially eliminated from postseason contention after dropping their seventh game in their last eight outings. Robinson tied a season-low with just 2 receptions and his 8 receicving yards were his second-lowest of the season.

Falcons HC Raheem Morris called WR Drake London (knee) "doubtful" for this weekend's game vs. the Jets. It's not surprising that London will miss multiple games with his PCL injury. He's worth keeping stashed in all fantasy leagues but should be on benches for Week 13. WR Darnell Mooney, TE Kyle Pitts, and RB Bjian Robinson will be the best target bets for the Falcons in New York on Sunday.

Colts DT DeForest Buckner won't travel to Germany with the team for Sunday morning's game against the Falcons, according to multiple reports. Buckner's dealing with a neck injury. Fortunately, he'll get a Week 11 bye on the other side of this game to rest it. We'll see whether anything else comes out about Buckner missing further time.

Falcons QB Michael Penix (knee) is off the final Week 9 injury report and will start Sunday’s game vs. the Patriots. It’s good news for Atlanta’s offense after what we saw from QB Kirk Cousins last week, but Penix is no better than a lower-end QB2 in fantasy lineups.

Falcons HC Raheem Morris said Wednesday that he feels "really good" about QB Michael Penix's chances of playing vs. the Patriots this weekend, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Penix remains "day to day" with the bone bruise in his knee, Morris added. We'll keeps tabs on his practice participation over the next few days. Penix has been inconsistent this season. But, after what we saw from QB Kirk Cousins last week, Penix's return would be good news for Atlanta's offense.

Entering Week 8, Falcons WR Darnell Mooney appeared positioned for strong volume. The team ruled out WR Drake London, which removed a 31% target share. But strong fantasy numbers never materialized, as Mooney caught only 1 of 4 targets (12.9%) for 11 yards alongside backup QB Kirk Cousins.
