News: 5 days agoRobinson rushed 29 times for 194 yards and two touchdowns and brought in both targets for 19 yards in the Falcons' 35-14 win over the Packers on Thursday.

Spin: Robinson's night on the ground was every bit as dominating as his final line suggests, as the star running back repeatedly ripped off chunk gains against an overwhelmed Packers defense. He got the night off on the right foot by netting 21 yards on the Falcons' first two plays, and he struck for his game-long 55-yard run on Atlanta's third possession to set himself up for a three-yard touchdown rush two plays later. The 2023 first-round pick went on to add a three-yard touchdown run to close out the scoring with just over three and a half minutes remaining, and he came just a yard short of equaling the career-high 195 rushing yards he hung on the Rams in Week 17 of last season. Robinson already has 543 rushing yards and three total touchdowns through three games heading into a Week 4 road matchup against the Saints on Monday, Oct. 5.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Robinson enters his fourth season having finished in the top five among running backs in carries, rushing yards, touches, yards and fantasy points in each of the past two seasons. Also a big factor as a receiver, he has ranked no lower than fifth at the position in routes, targets, receptions and receiving yards in his three pro seasons. In 2025, PFF tracked him with 86 forced missed tackles, which was easily the most among backs. The 24-year-old is in his prime and, though he has a new coach in Kevin Stefanski, his path to a massive offensive role remains clear. He's on the short list of players who should be considered with the first pick of your fantasy draft.
