Brian Robinson Rest-of-Season Outlook
RB3 with flex weeks
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished RB63 last season at 3.7 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 3 games he's RB31 at 7.6 PPR points per game, against 3.7 over 17 games last season (RB63). He's running ahead of last season's pace.
Last season he ranked 56th of 95 in rushing volume (5.4 carries per game), 72nd of 95 in receiving role (0.7 targets per game) and 59th of 95 in efficiency (1.77 yards after contact per carry). Receiving role is the soft spot. Cooper Rush is his quarterback.
He's RB2 on the depth chart, so his value depends on the players ahead of him.
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.
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
