Bijan Robinson Rest-of-Season Outlook
Pass-catching RB1 every week
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished RB2 last season at 21.8 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 3 games he's RB3 at 25.9 PPR points per game, against 21.8 over 17 games last season (RB2). He's running ahead of last season's pace.
Last season he ranked 7th of 95 in rushing volume (16.9 carries per game), 2nd of 95 in receiving role (6.1 targets per game) and 21st of 95 in efficiency (2.32 yards after contact per carry). His points come from his receiving role. Cooper Rush is his quarterback.
The job is secure: he's the listed starter and one of the best at his position. The main risk is health, and Brian Robinson is next on the depth chart if he misses time.
The next favorable matchup is the Saints in Week 4 (7th against RBs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 16, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Robinson graded as our overall RB1 in 2025, banking 291.8 fantasy points across all 17 games on a near-bell-cow snap share. He paired a heavy rushing workload with a 19.8% target share, 79 catches and 820 receiving yards, layering elite receiving production onto the ground game. That caps a steady climb from RB6 (188.3) as a rookie to RB4 (280.7) in 2024 to the top of the board in 2025.
The only real knock is touchdown variance; his rushing scores dipped even as total volume rose, a number that should normalize so long as the goal-line work stays largely his. The dual-threat floor is bulletproof regardless of game script, which is exactly what you want from a foundational pick. Drafted around the top two overall league-wide, he carries genuine RB1-overall upside if Atlanta finds the end zone more often.
