From the article

The Falcons' offensive struggles with both Tua Tagovailoa (oblique) and Michael Penix Jr. (knee) on the sideline continued, but what changed this week was Robinson's inability to replicate Week 1's solid receiving production (23 of his 31.13 fantasy points). The star running back managed only 11.1 points this time, despite facing a Panthers defense that surrendered 52.8 points combined to D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai in Week 1. In fairness, Robinson was lifted early in what was a 34-3 blowout, so the only thing to sweat for fantasy is whether Penix (more likely to play) or Tagovailoa is ready to play on "Thursday Night Football" for Week 3. Even then, Robinson remains a must-start, and in a closer game, probably would've given you a better score.

Robinson's 11.1-point Week 2 disappoints despite soft Panthers D; remains must-start

Robinson was limited to 72 yards and managed only 11.1 fantasy points in Week 2, unable to replicate Week 1's solid receiving production (23 of his 31.13 fantasy points came from receiving). This was despite facing a Panthers defense that surrendered 52.8 combined fantasy points to D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai in Week 1. Cockcroft notes Robinson was lifted early in what was a 34-3 blowout, so the only concern for fantasy is whether Penix (more likely to play) or Tagovailoa is ready for Week 3 Thursday Night Football. Even then, Robinson remains a must-start, and in a closer game, probably would have yielded a better score.
