Entering Week 7, Robinson ranks top-five at running back in rushing yards (2nd, 641), rushing first downs (4th, 30), yards per attempt (2nd, 5.8), and attempts (4th, 111). The Falcons average 29.5 rush attempts per game (5th-highest in league), with Robinson as the focal point of this run-heavy approach.PositiveMatchupOct 22, 2026
