Bijan Robinson 2026 Fantasy Football Outlook: RB1 Overall Season Loading?
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson turned in a stellar 2025 campaign, totaling nearly 2,300 yards from scrimmage and 11 touchdowns. While it may be difficult to envision a significant leap from those numbers, there are still reasons to believe the 24-year-old's best football is ahead of him. Former backfield mate Tyler Allgeier, now a member of the Arizona Cardinals, logged at least 135 carries in each of the past three seasons and scored eight rushing touchdowns in 2025 compared to Robinson's seven. Atlanta did add veteran running back Brian Robinson Jr. this offseason, but his one-year, $2.5 million contract indicates that he will, at most, occupy the change-of-pace role vacated by Allgeier. Additionally, the Falcons will be led by two-time AP NFL Coach of the Year Kevin Stefanski in 2026. During Stefanski's tenure in Cleveland, Nick Chubb finished as a top-12 fantasy option three times despite offering limited value as a pass-catcher. Robinson's versatile three-down skill set should allow Stefanski to maximize his usage, especially considering the coach's willingness to involve running backs in the passing game. There's a strong argument for Robinson to be selected first overall in drafts across all formats, so fantasy gamers should be ecstatic whenever they have the opportunity to draft him.
