| Mark Ringo Sleepers and Busts | Many scouts had Bijan Robinson as the most talented player in the 2023 NFL draft. He's a prototypical bell cow RB. He's big 220 lbs., fast, and has good receiving skills. Let's do it. I'm ranking Bijan RB #1. Don't Fear The Reaper, I mean Don't Fear The Rookie. And Falcons head coach Arthur Smith loves to use his bell cow. Guess what? I've got a fever. And the only prescription, is more bell cow. I've gotta have more cowbell baby! I mean bell cow baby haha! Arthur Smith made sure Derrick Henry got plenty of touches when he was the offensive coordinator in Tennessee. I expect Atlanta to lean heavily on Robinson to help out their young QB Desmond Ridder. So, when you're drafting this summer, why don't you pick up some Honey Bijon mustard and add some flavor to your draft haha! Fantasy babies, before we're done here, you all will be living in gold-plated cribs. What does that mean? Never question legendary fantasy analyst Bruce Dickinson Ringo! Haha!! Ringo's comp- a combo of Edgerrin James/Ricky Williams | Zeke is currently a free agent. However, that could change. Two teams to keep an eye on are the Cleveland Browns and the L.A. Chargers. The Browns don't want to overwork Nick Chubb. They want him on a pitch count so they don't overwork him. Chubb had a knee injury at Georgia. The Chargers brought in Zeke's former coach, Kellen Moore, to be their offensive coordinator. Zeke would form a RBBC with Austin Ekeler- and presumably take over the short-yardage role just like he did at Dallas. The sticking point right now is $. Zeke wants to be the top dog and to be paid as such. Teams are unwilling to meet either of those demands. Keep an eye on this situation as the summer progresses. |
| Ellis Johnson True North Fantasy Football | I don't remember a more consistent drum beat for any rookie for fantasy. I'm buying in, and although that is only a lukewarm take I'm all in on Robinson lighting the fantasy world on fire. The offense, the O-line, the coach, it's all set up for him to have a massive year. There's no shame in being all in on this elite talent at the position. | |
| Brandon Funston The Athletic | Generational, do-it-all RB talent lands with run-oriented system - should see heavy volume from the get-go | |
| Wolf of Roto Street Roto Street Journal | 5/5: Still unsigned. Speaks volumes. 3/19: Rumors that Buffalo is interested in a "big back." Zeke is gross now, but would have 12+ TD upside yet again in BUF, so he's not completely off my draft list (same logic with Lenny) 3/17: Released. Unlkely he lands anywhere with serious value. 3/7: Pollard franchised. Best days clearly behind him, but feels like a Schotty guy and could be a real cheap source of 250+ touches & TDs 2/8 - Pollard expected back. Still has decent TD upside in Schotty's run-obsessed scheme, but much lower ceiling. | |
| Andrew Erickson FantasyPros | Texas running back Bijan Robinson was the consensus No. 1 RB across all pre-draft publications and was selected 8th overall in the 2023 NFL Draft by the Atlanta Falcons. Robinson finished the 2022 college football season as PFF's second highest-graded rusher in the FBS, tallying 18 rushing TDs and 1,575 rushing yards en route to a 37% dominator rating in his final year as a Texas Longhorn. He forced 104 missed tackles (40% broken tackle rate) which has shown to be super predictive of success rushing at the NFL level. Compared to last year's running back class, only Breece Hall posted a higher dominator rating (40%). Factor in that Robinson also finished third among RBs in yards per catch (16.5) with zero drops and there's no question as to why he's the locked-in 1.01 for rookie drafts and top-3-ranked running back in season-long formats. At 5-foot-11 and 215 pounds, Robinson has the requisite size and all the tools to be a successful three-down running back in Arthur Smith's offense. Last season in Atlanta's offense, Tyler Allgeier finished as PFF's highest-graded rookie running back and 6th in rushing EPA as a former 5th-round pick. Allgeier also averaged nearly 18 carries and 96 rushing yards per game from Week 13 onward. If Robinson inherits that workload, he is easily projecting 300-plus carries and 1,500 rushing yards in an offense that ranked first in early down run rate and +13% in run rate above expectation. | I was vehemently against drafting Ezekiel Elliott across all formats in 2022. I was convinced that his best days were behind him and that Tony Pollard was the clear-cut better running back in the Dallas backfield. And I felt like the stance was mostly correct. Zeke finished as RB19 versus Pollard's RB7 status. Elliott posted career lows in yards per carry (3.7), receptions and targets. But he was an absolute TD monster, finishing second in expected touchdowns with 12 real rushing scores. Only Joe Mixon and Jamaal Williams totaled more carries inside the 10-yard line than Elliott. And ultimately the scoring was what made Zeke a usable fantasy asset especially after he returned from injury. He scored eight touchdowns from Weeks 11-17. For him to sustain any fantasy value in 2023 and beyond, Elliott will need to carve out a role as a team's primary red-zone back. |
| Derek Lofland FantasyPros | Robinson will be the Day 1 starter in the Atlanta backfield, he should be a high-end RB2 with RB1 upside in his rookie campaign. | |
