BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2
ANALYSIS: Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson is one of the most talented offensive weapons in the NFL. Yet, Arthur Smith has ruined what should have been a featured running back and a top-five fantasy football pick. The rookie is the RB12 for the year, averaging 12.1 half-point PPR fantasy points per game.
Robinson had scored 17 or more fantasy points in three of the past four games before the Week 15 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. The NFC South division rival has been one of the worst teams at stopping opposing running backs this season, giving Robinson the perfect opportunity to have a massive fantasy performance.
Instead, the rookie had eight touches for 14 scrimmage yards and zero touchdowns against arguably the worst run defense in the NFL. Robinson scored 0.4 PPR fantasy points and negative half-point PPR fantasy points in the first round of the fantasy football playoffs.
At this point, it feels like the Atlanta head coach personally has it out for the fantasy football world. Yet, fantasy players should start Robinson in Week 16.
The Indianapolis Colts have surrendered 23.4 fantasy points per game to running backs, the fourth-most in the NFL. They have given up 35 or more fantasy points to running backs in two of their past three contests.
Fantasy players should start Robinson this week and hope Arthur Smith doesn’t do something idiotic like giving Cordarrelle Patterson 25 touches.
