Bijan Robinson A High-End RB1 For Monday Night Football
22 seconds agoAtlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson has gone over 100 total yards rushing and receiving in seven of the last eight games and nine of 13 overall. Heavy involvement in both the running and the passing attack, along with finding the end zone on nine occasions, has propelled the 22-year-old to top-five fantasy running back status on the season. The passing work in particular has provided a solid weekly fantasy floor for the second-year pro. He's hauled in the third-most receptions (53) out of all running backs in football to this point, with at least three receptions in 11 of 13 games. The former first-round draft pick will take on the Raiders on Monday night in Vegas, a defense that has been middle of the pack against the run this season and also over the last few weeks. Quarterback Kirk Cousins hasn't thrown a TD pass in four consecutive weeks, so should the Falcons get down close, they may again try to punch it in via the rush. Regardless, Robinson projects as a high-floor, high-end RB1 in Week 15 in a game that has the Falcons as 4.5-point favorites.
