Robinson appeared on the Falcons injury report with a hamstring injury on Thursday, which raised some eyebrows. <a href="https://x.com/jjones9/status/1844468223384879136" rel="noopener">He was officially listed as limited</a> for Thursday’s practice, per Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports.</p><p>Robinson has yet to have a truly elite performance in 2024. He has logged 67 carries for 285 yards and one touchdown through five games. It is still clear that Bijan is due for a big performance, and the Panthers are just the team to give it to him.</p><p>The Falcons would be wise to feed Bijan Robinson the ball early and often against the Panthers on Sunday.</p><h2><b>Falcons preparing for crucial Week 6 matchup against Panthers </b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Bijan-Robinson.jpg"><figcaption>Dale Zanine-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Falcons have a golden opportunity to take over in the NFC South <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/falcons-vs-panthers-prediction-odds-pick-for-nfl-week-6">with a win against the Panthers on Sunday</a>.</p><p>Atlanta is currently 3-2 and sitting at the top of the division with Tampa Bay.

Andy Dalton has played better than Bryce Young, but he is no Joe Flacco. Carolina’s offensive is significantly handicapped and should be fairly easy for the Falcons to stop schematically.</p><p>One important X-factor for this game could be Carolina’s running game against Atlanta’s defense. Chuba Hubbard has been by far the most consistent part of Carolina’s offense through five weeks. If the Falcons can hold up in run defense, that could force Andy Dalton to attempt to win the game with his right arm. That outcome would significantly favor the Falcons.</p><p>The Falcons are six-and-a-half point favorites in this matchup despite playing in Charlotte. Falcons fans should expect a comfortable victory against a division rival on Sunday.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, things would become much more difficult for the Falcons if Bijan Robinson were to miss the matchup.</p><p>The star running back was added to Atlanta’s injury report on Thursday <a href="https://x.com/jjones9/status/1844468223384879136" rel="noopener">with a hamstring injury</a>. He was officially listed as limited, via Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports.</p><p>Robinson dealt with a hamstring injury leading up to the Falcons’ Week 5 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was similarly added to the injury report late in the week and was hit with a limited tag leading up to the game.</p><p>However, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/falcons-news-bijan-robinson-full-go-for-tnf-vs-buccaneers-after-injury-update">Robinson still suited up</a> and led the team with 61 rushing yards and 12 carries. The raw numbers aren’t most impressive, but Robinson’s 5.1 yards per carry surely is. As was the Falcons coming away with a 36-30 overtime victory.</p><p>Through the first five weeks of the season, Robinson has gained 285 yards and a touchdown on 67 carries. He’s added another 151 yards through the air on 18 grabs. While it’s not the explosive numbers Atlanta is hoping for, Robinson is still a key focal point of the Falcons’ offense.</p><p>The team ranks 10th in the NFL in total offense, averaging 357.4 yards per game. However, they’ve been largely carried by Kirk Cousins and their passing attack, who rank sixth in the league by averaging 260.6 YPG. In turn, Atlanta’s run game ranks 26th in the league, averaging 96.8 yards per game.</p><p>A healthy and fully utilized Bijan Robinson would certainly help the Falcons’ cause. Their hopeful his situation is similar to Week 5’s and he’ll be on the field against the Carolina Panthers. However, Robinson’s hamstring injury has continued to linger. It’s a situation Atlanta will be closely monitoring for the remainder of the season.</p><p>If Robinson couldn’t suit up, the Falcons would turn to backup Tyler Allgeier.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

On Friday, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/falcons-news-bijan-robinson-matthew-judon-pop-up-injury-report">RB Bijan Robinson (shoulder) and OLB Matthew Judon (hamstring)</a> were full practice participants and were removed from the team’s injury report. They will <a href="https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1839753080566395178" rel="noopener">both play this week</a>, according to NFL insider Adam Schefter.</p><p>After not appearing on it on Wednesday, both players popped up on Thursday’s injury report as limited practice participants. Usually, it is a bad sign when a player is an unexpected addition to the injury report but the Falcons appear to have avoided disaster.</p><p>The Falcons are in an early 1-2 hole to start the season. The schedule hasn’t been kind to them with opening games against the Steelers, Eagles and Chiefs. Up next, a divisional rival in the 2-1 Saints, a team that’s started hot with 103 points scored (second-most).</p><h2><b>Middling Falcons must find consistency, difference-makers</b></h2><p>Atlanta’s offense was supposed to finally strike a balance this year between the sensational Bijan Robinson and steady hand of Kirk Cousins. Robinson has been good but not great, totaling 196 rushing yards on 48 carries with a touchdown, along with 11 catches for 89 yards. Cousins played well in Week 2, passing for 241 yards and two scores against the Eagles. In his other two games, he hasn’t lived up to the hype, passing for 385 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions in two losses to the Chiefs and Steelers.</p><p>The Falcons’ offensive line has done this team no favors. On Cousins’ 31 dropbacks vs. the Chiefs, he was pressured on 11. In Week 2, he was pressured on 14 of 31 dropbacks and on 11 of 28 dropbacks in Week 1.</p><p>RT Kaleb McGary has been ruled out for Week 2. Jake Matthews popped on the injury report Thursday, but he was missed because his family welcomed their second child.</p><p>In Week 4, during a divisional matchup against the Saints, the Falcons mustn’t drop another game, which would bring them down to 1-3 with Tampa Bay, another AFC South opponent, on the schedule in Week 5.</p><p> </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

I think if you look, his first touchdown was like play 11 against Carolina last year, play 11 of the game of game number 1. They throw him a little swing pass, and he makes the first guy miss, then he makes another guy miss, and he runs through a tackle. He’s a really good football player who can create on his own. Things can break down, and he still can make a play,” Sirianni told reporters.</p><p>“A lot of things remind me of when we used to — it felt like today in the team meeting when I’m showing those, it felt a little bit like, ‘Hey, these are the clips I was showing when we were getting ready to play the Giants and [RB] Saquon [Barkley].’ He’s really elusive and really fast, got good hands.</p><p>“Yeah, enjoyed my pre-draft process with him. I always enjoy meeting good guys, good football players, and spending time with them, and he’s a heck of a football player that’s done a nice job so far in this league. We’ll have to be ready to tackle. We need to tackle better than we did last game, and it’s going to be a big deal in this week’s game, as every game is.”</p><p>You know, while Sirianni is a pretty good evaluator of talent, he’s far from the first person to compare Robinson and Barkley, as that was one of the popular comps for the Texas product coming out of college to the point where<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/eagles-news-saquon-barkley-has-1-hope-special-bijan-robinson-in-week-2-clash"> the Eagles’ new RB1 has discussed it himself</a>.</p><p>Still, just because something is popular doesn’t mean it’s wrong, and in this case, there really isn’t a better comparison for Robinson in the NFL right now, as much like Barkley, he has a blend of size, speed, strength and burst the likes of which is almost unparalleled in league history. While both players obviously want to see their team come out on top in Week 2, don’t be surprised if they have a little motivation to show up and show out in Week 2, as fans will surely declare a winner in their head-to-head battle based on who puts up better numbers at Lincoln Financial Field on Monday Night.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
