From the video
Bijan Robinson is your running back four. This is against the Cincinnati Bengals. Bijan has only scored as a top 17 running back this season in three games. This month he's been the RB30 and RB23 usage. That's just like not acceptable. Michael Penix and Kevin Stefanski's offense is like wanting to get the ball out as quickly as he can and Michael Penix can't evade any blitzers or buy time in the screen game. The Bengals have actually allowed nine runs of 20 plus yards. That's second to last in the NFL.
STACKED’s take
RB4 with usage concerns but favorable matchup; target edge plays
Ranked RB4 for Week 9 against Cincinnati Bengals. Only scored as top-17 running back in three games this season. This month has been RB30 and RB23 in usage—'not acceptable.' Receiving volume has declined significantly with Michael Penix Jr. and Kevin Stefanski's offense prioritizing quick ball release; Penix cannot evade blitzers or buy time in screen game, limiting Robinson's receiving opportunities. Led the NFL last season with 30 designed running back targets but already has four games in 2025 with zero design targets, compared to only one such game all of last season. Brian Robinson may return, adding backfield confusion. However, Bengals' Dexter Lawrence is sensational up middle but rest of defense (linebackers, safeties) is weak, suggesting perimeter runs and receiving targets as potential solutions. Bengals have allowed nine runs of 20+ yards (second-to-last in NFL), and the source expects Robinson to finish as top-17 running back this week, recommending targeting stretch runs, tosses, and edge plays.
