Bijan Robinson

Last year, Bijan Robinson was the RB2 in fantasy points per game. For most of the season, he was pacing towards a 1,000-yard season for rushing and receiving before tailing off at the end of the season (820 receiving yards). Robinson was also crushed by the heavy usage of Tyler Allgeier near the goalline. Allgeier finished with eight rushing touchdowns, while Robinson had only 11 total touchdowns. Robinson had a pitiful 49.3% red zone rushing share (per Fantasy Points Data). With Allgeier and the previous coaching staff gone, Robinson should enjoy more usage near paydirt in 2026. Robinson was incredibly efficient with his workload last season, which is a reflection of his insane talent. He finished top-three among running backs (minimum 100 carries, 20 targets) in receiving yards per game, target share, yards per route run, first downs per route run, missed tackles forced per attempt, and yards after contact per attempt. Robinson is my favorite bet to be the RB1 overall in 2026.

Bijan Robinson has agreed to a three-year, $75 million contract extension with the Atlanta Falcons according to Adam Schefter.

Fantasy Impact

The deal includes $51 million in guaranteed money while also making Robinson the highest-paid running back in the league. The third-year back finished with 2,298 total offensive yards and 11 total touchdowns in 2025 and remains in the argument as the 1.01 pick in upcoming fantasy drafts with offensive minded Kevin Stefanski being named the new head coach this offseason for the Falcons.
