Bijan Robinson

An inexperienced quarterback and a young running back in his third season. If Robinson can improve on last season, he is in for a career year. Hard to see regression at this stage of his career. 

A top-flight running back with all the tools, rushing ability, receiving ability, and a nose for the end zone.

The best combination of youth, workload, big-play talent, and run/pass versatility of the fantasy RBs this year, Robinson also sports one of the better offensive lines in Atlanta. 

Another plus could be Michael Penix. The Kirk Cousins era was a complete debacle from the moment he shot his mouth off on Round 1 of the draft about the Penix selection, despite not being healthy enough to throw with legitimate velocity for much of the year. 

Penix will make his share of youthful mistakes, but his excellent vertical game will make life more efficient for Robinson. If you've allowed the masses to convince you that McCaffrey, Henry, and Barkley are too old and overworked but you still want an early-round RB, Robinson is the safest choice for the fearful. 

Lack of explosive runs the only drawback from a player capable of finishing first overall. 

Amazing athlete at 215 pounds. 1,463 total yards and 8 touchdowns as a rookie. 1,887 total yards and 15 touchdowns last season. Dynamic, electric, and one of the best running back talents in the NFL. Operating in an exciting fantasy environment led by a soon-to-be household name, Michael Penix.

It’s all coming together for Robinson, who should once again be the backfield focal point.

He finished as the 3rd-best RB in fantasy last year while splitting carries. He was 3rd in rushing yards with 1456, 3rd in receptions with 61, and top 5 in both touchdowns and receiving yards. He could lead the league in multiple categories in 2025.

The leap from his rookie season was what fantasy managers were hoping for. It could be even bigger in year three.
