In the years leading up to his arrival in the NFL, teams were hesitant to draft running backs early in the first round. That is, if they were willing to select a ball-carrier in the first round at all.</p><p>Robinson has helped change the narrative that running backs aren’t valuable in the NFL, though. He was one of the best prospects at his position in recent memory, and he has quickly become one of the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/ranking-all-32-starting-rbs-2025-nfl-season">best running backs in the league.</a></p><p>Robinson made the Pro Bowl last season, but he still has room to grow. Many experts expect a true breakout performance in 2025, and a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/atlanta-falcons/falcons-news-saquon-barkley-sends-scary-bijan-robinson-warning-nfl">projected big year</a> is translating to high expectations in fantasy football. So, how well is the Atlanta Falcons star expected to perform in fantasy football this season?</p><h2><b>Bijan Robinson’s 2024 fantasy football statistics</b></h2><p>In 2023, as a rookie, Robinson was good but not great from a fantasy perspective. He had 214 carries for 976 yards and four rushing touchdowns to go along with 58 receptions for 487 yards. Those are impressive marks, but they were somewhat disappointing numbers in comparison to what was expected for Robinson. The Texas product was drafted so high, both in the 2023 NFL Draft and during fantasy football drafts that year, because he was expected to immediately dominate.</p><p>Robinson further burst onto the scene in his second year. His numbers skyrocketed to 1,456 yards and 14 touchdowns on the ground, in addition to 61 catches. That amounted to 341.7 PPR fantasy points and 280.7 fantasy points in standard leagues, which was good enough for third and fourth place finishes during the 2024 season, respectively.</p><p>Saquon Barkley, who <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/nfl-stories/every-2000-yard-rushing-season-in-nfl-history">ran for 2,000 yards</a>, outscored Robinson in both formats, as did Jahmyr Gibbs. Derrick Henry was the only other player to outscore Robinson in standard fantasy leagues.</p><h2><b>Bijan Robinson’s 2025 fantasy football projection</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/768137856-bijan-robinson-falcons.jpg"><figcaption>Dale Zanine-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Robinson’s numbers are expected to drop slightly in 2025. ESPN <a href="https://fantasy.espn.com/football/players/projections" rel="noopener">predicts him</a> to run for 1,422 yards and 12 touchdowns and to catch 62 passes for 490 yards this season. While those rushing statistics would be slightly worse than what Robinson accomplished last season, they are still good for the fourth most projected rushing yards in the league.</p><p>It wouldn’t come as a surprise if Robinson actually improved on his rushing statistics from last season. Tyler Allgeier had a bigger role than expected last year, but the Falcons could turn Robinson into a pure bell-cow running back who takes nearly all of the backfield touches this season.</p><p>Robinson could also improve because Michael Penix Jr. will be the full-time starting quarterback this season. Penix Jr. likes to throw dump-offs to running backs, and his youth could lead to him relying on Robinson as a security blanket. Good football teams never want to put too much pressure on their young quarterbacks, so the Falcons will likely ensure that Penix isn’t overwhelmed by handing the ball off to Robinson frequently.</p><h2><b>Bijan Robinson’s 2025 fantasy football running back ranking</b></h2><p>Robinson is widely being ranked as the best fantasy football running back and the second-best fantasy player overall, only trailing Ja’Marr Chase. Robinson’s average draft position is 2.8, and there is a case for him being the number one pick in fantasy drafts.</p><p>The receiver position is much deeper than the running back position, so it wouldn’t be hard for fantasy managers to convince themselves to take Robinson at the top of the draft.</p><p>There have only been nine 2,000-yard rushing seasons ever, and no running back has ever repeated that feat. Therefore, regression can be expected from Barkley. The same can be said for Henry. The Baltimore Ravens star ran for 1,921 yards, but he will be 32 years old by the end of next season. Running backs who are above the age of 30 rarely find tons of success.</p><p>Gibbs will have to split carries this year with David Montgomery as well, and it seems unlikely that the duo can each surpass 1o rushing touchdowns again. Robinson has likely yet to hit his peak, and historically, year three is a big one for running backs. Robinson can definitely end the year as the best player in fantasy football.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Falcons are currently amid a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/falcons-news-michael-penix-jr-lofty-goal-2025-season">complete transition into the Michael Penix Jr. era</a>, with Robinson remaining a focal point of the offense.</p><p>Robinson played three games with Penix in 2024, averaging 118 rushing yards per game. The best game of his career came in the 2024 regular season finale with Penix under center. Robinson ran for a career-high 170 rushing yards and two touchdowns in a 44-38 loss to the Carolina Panthers.</p><p>Robinson will run behind a familiar offensive line, with four of the five starters returning. Atlanta will only feature a new starter at center, with former undrafted free agent Ryan Neuzil replacing Drew Dalman. However, despite working behind Dalman during the last two years, Neuzil has 12 career starts under his belt and played 50 percent of the offensive snaps in 2024.</p><p>The Falcons’ rushing attack should have a favorable Week 1 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tampa Bay’s defense is still led by captain Lavonte David, but linebacker Anthony Walker Jr. — who replaced K.J. Britt in the starting lineup — is currently sidelined with an undisclosed injury.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Cooper announced his commitment to the Longhorns on Sunday, and it was another <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/ncaa-football/texas-football-news-longhorns-flip-5-star-lineman-georgia">massive pickup for head coach Steve Sarkisian</a>. Cooper is one of the best players in the 2026 recruiting class. Texas had a lot of competition here, but former Longhorn RB Bijan Robinson helped seal the deal.</p><p>Bijan Robinson now plays in the NFL for the Atlanta Falcons, but before he went to the league, he was a star for the Texas football team. Now, <a href="https://x.com/ontexasfootball/status/1947327179622125945?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1947327179622125945%7Ctwgr%5E4993a064803373fdd4a4c82f380d603db36986a6%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fhookemheadlines.com%2Ftexas-legend-bijan-robinson-helps-seal-5-star-rb-commitment-over-georgia-and-miami-bijan-robinson-derrek-cooper-01k0s8r1an0" rel="noopener">he is helping</a> Steve Sarkisian land elite recruits.</p><p>“He spoke with Bijan Robinson leading up to this decision and I think Bijan did a good job telling him why Texas was a great decision for him,” Insider Gerry Hamilton said, according to a post from OnTexasFootball.</p><p>Robinson is no longer a member of the team, but he is still helping Texas on the gridiron even after his departure.</p><h2><b>Derrek Cooper’s recruiting profile</b></h2><p>Derrek Cooper is a <a href="https://247sports.com/player/derrek-cooper-46147129/" rel="noopener">five-star recruit</a>, according to <i>247Sports’ </i>composite rankings. He is the #29 player in the 2026 recruiting class, the #2 athlete and the #2 player in the state of Florida. Cooper currently attends Chaminade-Madonna High School in Hollywood, FL. There are numerous big programs in the Sunshine State, but Texas won the battle.</p><p>“A jack-of-all-trades that some schools view as a running back while others think the ceiling might be higher as a back-seven defender,” Cooper’s scouting report reads. “Owns a favorable athletic profile for a mid-skill with bright green speed and explosion scores. As a ball carrier, runs with plenty of tempo and energy as he hits the hole with urgency. Always seems to be spiraling forward with his 6-foot-1, 205-pound frame and will use his core power to bounce off tacklers in tight quarters. Effective on swing/screen passes and has the hands to emerge as more than just a check-down option for a passing attack. On defense, displays advanced IQ as he’s quick to read and react.”</p><p>Cooper’s primary position is RB, but he could end up playing anywhere for Texas.</p><p>“Charges downhill with authority and has proven to be a solid open-field tackler,” the scouting report adds. “Can get home on the blitz and is also rather competent in both man and zone coverage after playing primarily safety early on in prep career. Should be viewed as one of the more unique evaluations in the class given the position ambiguity as he could settle in as a bell cow on offense or thrive as a speed-and-space linebacker. Will need a plan and a vision at the next level, but has stamped himself as one of the top overall prospects in the Sunshine State at this stage after impacting games in a variety of different ways.”</p><p>The Texas football team landed one of the most versatile players in the 2026 class, and Bijan Robinson helped get the job done.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

McCaffrey shared an image featuring himself, his brother Luke McCaffrey, and Robinson, all flexing after a workout that quickly caught the attention of fans online.</p><p>The picture <a href="https://x.com/Schultz_Report/status/1938398987792294170" rel="noopener">went viral on social media</a>, where people not only admired the players’ strong physiques but also speculated what it meant for the upcoming season. Robinson, who just completed an amazing 2024 season, where he totaled 1,456 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns, stood shoulder-to-shoulder with McCaffrey, who suffered through a difficult 2024 season marred by injuries. This offseason picture shows that the 49ers star is progressing well in his recovery, and is ready for a significant comeback.</p><p>For Robinson, this is more than just a gym partnership. The Falcons running back has spoken candidly about how much he admires McCaffrey’s game, and more so how he prepares and demonstrates versatility with his range of skills. Their recent training sessions together show that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/falcons-news-bijan-robinson-blunt-message-offense">Robinson is looking to elevate his game</a>, taking cues from a two-time All-Pro known for his excellence.</p><p>Luke McCaffrey, a wide receiver stepping into his second season with the Washington Commanders, also made an appearance in the post. Even though he had a quiet rookie year with 168 receiving yards, his presence underscores a broader theme of family-oriented training and accountability that has defined the trio’s offseason efforts.</p><p>As training camps approach, fans of both the Falcons and 49ers are paying close attention. While the photo went viral for its visual impact, the dedication it represents has only heightened the already high expectations for the 2025 NFL season, where both running backs will look to elevate their respective franchises.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Coming off two strong seasons, the former first-rounder is no longer just a rising star, but the <a href="https://x.com/Ria_Martin/status/1929653699418141023" rel="noopener">tone-setter</a> for an offense that must now turn potential into production.</p><p>In a recent video interview posted by NBC’s Maria Martin on X (formerly Twitter), Robinson made a bold declaration about the mindset in Atlanta.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Bijan Robinson on the <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Falcons?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Falcons</a> offense being something special this year.<br>"At this point it's not a want to, it's we need to." <a href="https://t.co/10FwggOukz">pic.twitter.com/10FwggOukz</a></p><p>— Maria Martin (@Ria_Martin) <a href="https://twitter.com/Ria_Martin/status/1929653699418141023?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 2, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>“Yeah I mean it’s something that we talk about every day like we know that we have to do it at this point like you know it’s not a want-to, it’s we need to because not only is everyone waiting for that to happen.”</p><p>Robinson’s comments serve as a direct challenge to the entire Falcons offense, which despite finishing sixth in league rankings last year, still fell short of expectations — especially during the final stretch. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/atlanta-falcons/falcons-most-to-blame-for-week-18-loss-to-panthers">Atlanta lost six of its last eight games in 2024</a>, derailing any playoff hope late in the season.</p><p>His stats speak volumes. Across his first two seasons, Robinson has racked up 2,432 rushing yards, 918 receiving yards, and 19 total touchdowns. But it’s his evolving role in the passing game, especially without Arthur Smith calling plays, that could unlock a new level. With Zac Robinson stepping into the play-calling spotlight, Atlanta’s scheme is expected to feature more explosive touches for the former Texas product downfield.</p><p>The urgency Robinson expresses reflects both internal standards and external pressure. The Falcons will face a manageable midseason stretch and five primetime games in 2025 — a rarity for a franchise long absent from the national spotlight. The team’s potential hinges on delivering consistently, especially during critical divisional matchups like the two against the New Orleans Saints.</p><p>If this team can go 4-1 in their easiest five-game stretch and stay healthy, their NFL playoff hopes may not just be a dream — they could become the standard.</p><p>And Robinson’s mindset?

As one of the top recruits in the entire 2020 recruiting class, Robinson had a lot of good options for college. He ended up picking the Longhorns, but Ohio State and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/ncaa-football/usc-football-news-trojans-beat-out-michigan-miami-for-standout-2026-pass-rusher">USC were a couple of his top choices</a> as well. In fact, Robinson did give the Trojans an opportunity to land him.</p><p>One of the best running backs of all time is Reggie Bush, and he went to USC for college. He won the Heisman Trophy with the Trojans and he was a national champion as well. He went on to have a good career in the NFL after leaving USC, and he won a Super Bowl with the New Orleans Saints. Bush is a USC legend, and the Trojans retired his #5.</p><p>Bijan Robinson loved watching Reggie Bush, and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/ncaa-football/usc-football-news-trojans-beats-3-big-ten-rivals-for-4-star-wr">USC was one of his top schools.</a> In fact, he told the Trojans that he would <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qu_lhma2pyU" rel="noopener">play for them if</a> he could wear #5.</p><p>“I had Ohio State and then USC,” Robinson said regarding his top schools in addition to Texas during an episode of <i>Cold As Balls </i>with Kevin Hart. “Reggie Bush was my favorite player. I was like ‘If i can wear number five and bring it out of retirement, I’ll come to USC!'”</p><p>Obviously, Robinson ended up playing for the Texas footbll team, and it worked out for him as he got to wear #5. He was the nation’s #1 RB in the 2020 recruiting class, and he had a great career with the Longhorns. Robinson ended up being selected with the eighth overall pick 2023 NFL Draft by the Falcons.</p><p>The USC football program has had some great RBs come through the program, and it almost landed Bijan Robinson as well. Who knows what would’ve happened if he played for the Trojans instead of the Longhorns.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

After catching a touchdown pass from Kirk Cousins to tie the Philadelphia Eagles late in the game – setting Younghoe Koo up for a game-winning PAT attempt – on Monday Night Football in Week 2, London <a href="https://apnews.com/article/drake-london-shooting-celebration-falcons-3fc87165243bb804daa584e581f5ec38" rel="noopener">pretended to fire a gun</a>.

Robinson totaled 170 yards rushing and two touchdowns off 28 carries.

He recently covered the Phoenix Mercury for The Next Hoops and PHNX Sports.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">Atlanta Falcons</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson secured his first major career milestone during Monday Night Football against the Las Vegas Raiders. He secured his <a href="https://x.com/brgridiron/status/1868838159905382555" rel="noopener">first 1,000+ rushing yard season</a>. The second-year Texas football star came into the NFL as a highly touted pick. He was someone who posed a dynamic threat on the ground and through the passing game. Robinson received comparisons to even Saquon Barkley and Christian McCaffrey.<br><br>Fans went bonkers about his season and mostly gave him praise. One fan said “Congrats to Bijan Robinson on his first 1K+ yard season.. An amazing milestone for an incredible talent. The future is bright!” Another said “He needs to be on a better team. The Falcons are wasting him.” Lastly, one fan said, “Guy has a bright future but Falcons will still be mid.”<br><br>Luckily, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/falcons-news-bijan-robinson-ready-to-take-on-christian-mccaffrey-role">Robinson has embraced the McCaffrey role for the Falcons</a> and has proved that he can be productive. After an underwhelming rookie season, there’s been no sophomore slump. So far, he’s rushing for 1,102 yards, and eight touchdowns, which is double his touchdown total from his rookie campaign. Also, he’s been just as effective in the passing game. Robinson has 54 receptions for 411 yards and a touchdown.</p><h2><b>The Falcons need to continue to involve Bijan Robinson in the offense</b></h2><p>The former Longhorns running back is the most dynamic offensive player that Atlanta has. His explosiveness, speed, and durability have been one of the more consistent elements of the team. Even with Kirk Cousins, the running back has been the top guy. He has four games of over 100 rushing yards. Not to mention, he’s been an effective leader in only his sophomore season.</p><p>For instance, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/falcons-news-bijan-robinson-issues-reminder-atlanta-after-loss-steelers">Robinson issued a stern reminder to the Falcons</a> after their opening week loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Seeing <a href="https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/falcons-rb-bijan-robinson-thriving-in-2024-thanks-to-fresh-vibe-from-new-coaching-staff-kirk-cousins-more/" rel="noopener">leadership from a second-year player isn’t all too common</a>. It’s not much of a surprise to Atlanta’s upper management but it is to the casual fan. Leadership mixed with productivity is a recipe for success for the team. </p><p>The Falcons are in a desperate position to make the playoffs. After signing Cousins in free agency, they’ve disappointed. He has the most turnovers by a quarterback in the league (16 interceptions, two fumbles). However, Robinson has been the saving grace of the offense. They’ve been feeding him and the results have been fruitful to their success. In order for Atlanta to make that late-season surge, they’ll need to call Robinson’s number and utilize him in more effective ways.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Atlanta is 6-3 heading into Week 10 and has a two-game advantage in the NFC South standings. The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/grading-kirk-cousins-4-year-180-million-contract-with-falcons">Kirk Cousins experience seems to be going well in Atlanta</a> as they’ve finally taken over their weak division. However, one Falcons player believes that they have accomplished even more than that.</p><p>Falcons running back Bijan Robinson believes that the Falcons have the best offensive unit in the NFC. Robinson <a href="https://youtu.be/TEVbgWI4Ol4?t=154" rel="noopener">shared his thoughts on why</a> the Falcons are better than the Lions or Eagles on The Dan Patrick Show on Monday.</p><p>“The Lions are playing great, Philly is playing great but I feel like we have a lot of threats on this team and it’s starting to open up and get better and better every single week,” Robinson said. “I think there’s a lot of great teams but I feel like we have the team that’s playing good, playing positive and hopefully we just continue to keep on rolling.”</p><p>One one hand, it is easy to see where Bijan’s confidence is coming from. On paper the Falcons have a loaded offense, and they’ve been getting solid results on the field lately.</p><p>That said, they are a step behind the Lions on offense. Detroit has scored 258 points this season while the Falcons have scored 221. The Lions have also allowed many fewer points (148) than the Falcons (216), which has reduced their need to get into shootouts to save the team. It is also important to note that Detroit has <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-rumors-ben-johnson-bears-head-coaching-job">arguably the best offensive mind in the NFL with Ben Johnson at OC</a>.</p><p>The Falcons do not play the Lions in 2024 unless they meet in the postseason. Until then, Atlanta can prove their worth against quality opponents like the Vikings and Commanders. Both of those teams are currently ahead of Atlanta in the NFC standings.</p><h2><b>Falcons get encouraging Drake London injury update</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Drake-London.jpg"><figcaption>Brett Davis-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Falcons receiver Drake London had a solid outing against the Cowboys in Week 9.</p><p>London scored a touchdown in the game and hit a hilarious celebration. Unfortunately, it later appeared that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/falcons-news-drake-london-injury-update-scoring-td-vs-cowboys">he suffered an injury during the play</a>.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/falcons-news-atlanta-receiver-encouraging-drake-london-injury-update">London reportedly suffered a hip pointer</a> during that touchdown play.</p><p>“Falcons WR Drake London will have tests done, but the belief is he suffered a hip pointer, source said. While those can be frustrating, they are not long-term issues,” Rapoport tweeted on X, formerly Twitter.</p><p>This is great news for the Falcons. While they did survive the rest of Sunday’s victory without London, losing him for an extended period of time would be a huge problem. Atlanta’s other top receivers include Darnell Mooney and Ray-Ray McCloud at receiver, as well as tight end Kyle Pitts and running back Bijan Robinson.</p><p>Falcons fans should keep their eyes on the practice reports this week to learn more about how long London will be out of the lineup.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

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>
