2024 Fantasy Outlook
Tyler Allgeier is a good running back, but it wasn't reasonable for Robinson to only see 214 carries to Allgeier's 186 carries last season. Atlanta team ownership presumably agreed, because previous head coach Arthur Smith was fired and the new coach Raheem Morris likely has an understanding that Robinson's inconsistent 2023 usage was a big reason Smith was fired. If Robinson's rushing workload increases then it could hold explosive results for his fantasy value, especially with Kirk Cousins arriving at quarterback. Robinson is already one of the league's better pass catchers at running back (86 targets last year) yet his efficiency numbers were badly dragged down by Desmond Ridder and Taylor Heinicke. Robinson will likely improve on the 67.4 percent catch rate and 5.8 yards per target figure he had last year, and if that occurs at the same time as a rushing production surge then Robinson would have a clear path to finish the 2024 season not just as a fantasy RB1 in general, but maybe even the top fantasy back in the entire NFL.

Another 100-yard effort in win
RBAtlanta Falcons
December 16, 2024
Robinson rushed 22 times for 125 yards and brought in one of two targets for 10 yards in the Falcons' 15-9 win over the Raiders on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Robinson had clear control of the Falcons' ground game once again, although backfield mate Tyler Allgeier logged 12 carries of his own as part of a run-centric game plan. Robinson eclipsed the 100-yard mark for the fourth time this season in the process, doing so with a figure that qualified as a new season high. The second-year back has now encouragingly logged at least 22 carries in three straight contests, and he could potentially put together an even better performance against the Giants' suspect run defense in a Week 16 home matchup.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Robinson is the consensus RB1 of the 2023 rookie class and arrives to the NFL with a fantasy-friendly skill set. He has a workhorse build at 215-plus pounds, and with a 4.46-second 40 Robinson has the speed to create big plays at a standout frequency. Not just that, but Robinson appears adept as a pass catcher and could do more as an NFL receiver than he did at Texas. While Robinson's single-season high for receptions at Texas was just 26, there's reason to think that in the NFL Robinson could be a 60-catch candidate annually. It's not often that a running back prospect projects for volume, efficiency and versatility to the extent that Robinson does -- and his status as the eighth overall pick further confirms that. He does have decent competition for carries in Atlanta, but within the confines of a run-heavy offense and with the possibility of Cordarrelle Patterson being a cap casualty this summer. While 2022 fifth-round pick Tyler Allgeier figures to retain some sort of role after running for 1,000 yards as a rookie, Robinson is on a different level of talent and shouldn't need long to establish himself as the lead back.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
More carries, less catches in 2024?
RBAtlanta Falcons
July 6, 2024
Josh Kendall of The Athletic posits that Robinson could see his usage on offense shift under a new system.
ANALYSIS
Robinson broke the rookie record last season with 1,463 scrimmage yards while adding eight touchdowns. He was heavily utilized in the passing game last year and finished with 58 catches. However, Kendall notes that offensive coordinator Zac Robinson and head coach Raheem Morris come from a Rams system that doesn't target the backfield heavily on offense, while the top running back sees a larger bulk of the carries. Even though Robinson was the top back for Atlanta last season with 214 carries, Tyler Allgeier still finished the year with 186 carries for 683 yards and four touchdowns.
