Bijan Robinson is a top-two pick in the Falcons offense under Kevin Stefanski, who has led teams to 11-win seasons twice and won Coach of the Year twice. The Falcons have a strong offensive line with Bill Callahan, considered the best offensive line coach in the NFL, which raises the floor of the offense. If Tua plays, he will likely complete a lot of passes and distribute PPR points to Bijan, making him a strong value at his draft position.PositiveValueAug 5, 2026
The Falcons signed Bijan Robinson to a massive three-year, $75 million contract extension, cementing his status as a high-value asset; the analysts agree he is a great player who deserves the compensation.PositiveProjectionJul 28, 2026
Robinson is the consensus tier-one pick alongside Jameer Gibbs and was the most common running back on championship teams last year according to Tristan Cockroft's annual analysis. He is 24 years old and has already been a league-winning running back. However, the Falcons brought in Brian Robinson Jr. to replace Tyler Algier, and the team's quarterback situation is less stable than Detroit's: Tua and Michael Penix are both lefties and stylistically different, and both are considered fragile. The Falcons are projected to score the 25th-most points in the NFL this season, compared to the Lions' third-most. While Robinson could have a Hall of Fame season, the Lions' easier schedule, easier rushing schedule, and more consistent quarterback situation with Jared Goff give Gibbs the edge.PositiveUsageJul 6, 2026
When Tua Tagovailoa is playing for the Falcons, Bijan Robinson will be the number-one running back in fantasy football due to the volume of dump-offs and screen passes in Tua's quick-hitting offense. The source compares this to how Devon Achan was top-two in targets and yards with 80 catches when Tua was in Miami. Robinson's fantasy value will fluctuate significantly depending on whether Tua or Michael Penix Jr. is the starting quarterback, as Penix pushes the ball downfield more.
