Fantasy Football Bounce-Back Candidates: Bijan Robinson, Kyle Pitts, Drake London

You could finish your fantasy football draft and love your starters and bench depth, but you unexpectedly finish at the bottom. There will always be factors out of your control. Injuries play a big part in fantasy football, but you’ll also run into players not living up to their potential.

This is a list of six players who did not meet their fantasy football expectations last year but have a chance for a bounce back in 2024.

Fantasy Football Duds That Will Become Studs

You can blame a lot of the Falcons’ offensive inefficiencies on Arthur Smith’s not utilizing their best assets, but they did not have a quarterback who efficiently used those assets.

They signed Kirk Cousins, who, before last season, due to injuries, was the only quarterback to throw for 4,000 yards and 25 touchdowns in the previous eight seasons. He made Justin Jefferson and T.J. Hockenson the top fantasy players at their positions, and the Pitts and London can do the same.

Bijan Robinson was highly touted at his position and, despite being a rookie, was a consensus first-round fantasy pick. He didn’t live up to that by finishing RB19, which had much to do with Tyler Allgeier splitting carries for most of the season.

What should make fans happy is what new Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said about Robinson’s potential usage: “In the simplest form, you can put it, get the ball to Bijan as much as possible in the most ideal situations as possible.”
