Brian Robinson showed a real receiving role alongside rushing work in Week 2, with 11 carries for 51 yards (0 TD) and 2 targets/2 rec/20 yards. Notably, his 20 receiving yards topped Bijan Robinson's 9, and the bulk of his work (8 of 11 carries, 31 of 51 yards) came after Carolina had already built its big lead, suggesting he may see increased opportunity in closer games.

Brian Robinson Jr. is ranked No. 13 in the Week 2 handcuff rankings in Tier 3.

Robinson Jr. ran reasonably well and was effective as a kick returner, averaging 32 yards on kick returns with a couple of nice runs. However, he averaged just 3.4 yards per carry on rushing attempts. He looks like the complement the Falcons hoped to get when they signed him out of free agency, though he showed hesitation on his initial kick return (a Week 1 freebie).
