Robinson commanded 45.5% target share in Week 1 with backup QB Rush.
Bijan Robinson is Atlanta's only player gamers can trust in Week 1 and beyond, as Cooper Rush's ineptitude left Robinson with an absurd 45.5% target share in the opener. Robinson's elite target share makes him a reliable fantasy asset despite the quarterback situation.
Robinson's 29 touches in Week 1 rank third-most in his career.
Robinson had 29 touches in Week 1, the third-most of his career, establishing him as the Falcons' primary offensive weapon and a high-volume fantasy asset.

The source identifies Bijan Robinson as a good flex option choice for Week 2, ranking him second overall in the flex rankings against the Carolina Panthers.
Robinson accounted for 66% of Falcons offense in Week 1; elevated role expected.
With Rush as quarterback, the Falcons will need a big day from Robinson. In Week 1, he had 83 rushing yards and 90 receiving yards against the Steelers, accounting for 66 percent of the team's offense—the highest rate for the opening weekend. No player has ever had 75+ rushing yards and 75+ receiving yards in the first two games of a season, setting up Robinson for elevated usage in Week 2.
Robinson scored on 23-yard screen TD in Week 1 vs. Steelers.
Bijan Robinson scored on a 23-yard screen pass touchdown in Week 1 against Pittsburgh; Cooper Rush threw the screen pass to Robinson, who made a bee-line for the end zone to complete the score late in the first quarter. This represents Robinson's early-season scoring opportunity in the Falcons offense.
Robinson's Carolina matchup is ideal; checkdown volume and run defense weakness favor him.
Bijan Robinson is quarterback-agnostic and isn't at risk of a poor game with Cooper Rush, thanks to the high number of checkdowns, which resulted in 90 receiving yards and a touchdown last week. The matchup against Carolina is beautiful; the Panthers are far more difficult to pass against and vulnerable to the run, allowing over 200 rushing yards to D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai. Christian McCaffrey has a layup matchup against Miami, so heavy rostership up top will lean towards McCaffrey, leaving Robinson as an excellent play in GPP.

The source predicts Robinson could have a 150-yard day from scrimmage even if the Panthers' defense improves significantly against Atlanta.
