Brian Robinson Jr. Rest-of-Season Outlook
Out, hamstring.
Through 6 games he's RB35 at 8.8 PPR points per game, against 3.7 over 17 games last season (RB63). He's running ahead of last season's pace.
Through Week 7 he ranks 29th of 56 in rushing volume (8.8 carries per game), 41st of 56 in receiving role (1.0 targets per game) and 9th of 54 in efficiency (2.40 yards after contact per carry). His points come from his efficiency. Receiving role is the soft spot. Michael Penix Jr. is his quarterback.
He's out, hamstring. Until he's back, his value is a bench spot at most, and Khalil Herbert takes his snaps.
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 16, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
The 2025 collapse is hard to overstate: Robinson cratered to RB56 on just 92 carries across 17 games, his snap share gutted to 16.7% after a midseason move. The 400 rushing yards and two scores barely cleared 54 fantasy points, and a minus-0.046 EPA per play confirmed he was a passenger, not a driver. Even his efficiency markers thinned, with 1.77 yards after contact per attempt and a 4.35-yard average that flattered light volume.
Rewind only one year and the contrast stings. In 2024 he was an RB27 workhorse on 187 carries, 51.6% of snaps, eight touchdowns and 46 red-zone looks. That early-down, goal-line profile still exists, but his receiving role has shriveled from a 1.36 YPRR peak in 2023 to 0.37 last season. He needs a clear path to opportunity, and right now Atlanta's backfield does not promise one. Treat him as a late-round bench dart.
What Drives His Outlook
His 2026 rank through Week 7 among the 56 running backs who have played at least six games. Each bar is one running back, best on the left; his is highlighted.
