Analysis

Robinson enjoyed a true lead-back role despite the lopsided loss, outpacing backfield mate Tyler Allgeier by 16 carries. Robinson's carry total actually was a season high, and his receiving yardage tally was his third of at least 40 on the campaign. He also recorded his third touchdown in the last two games with a five-yard run just past the midway point of the second quarter, affording him plenty of momentum heading into a key Week 8 road clash against the NFC South rival Buccaneers.

Analysis

Robinson scored twice in the first half en route to arguably his best game as a pro in the win over Carolina. The 2023 first-round pick had been averaging 57.0 rushing yards over his previous five contests with just one total touchdown over that span, so Sunday's showing could be the beginning of a hot streak for the talented back. Robinson should be considered a high-end play next Sunday against Seattle and its 27th-ranked rush defense.

Analysis

Robinson was limited in Thursday's practice due to a hamstring injury, which presumably is the same injury that cut into his Week 5 practice time before the second-year running back ultimately suited up for a 36-30 overtime win over the Buccaneers. He's underwhelmed after being a consensus first-round pick in fantasy drafts, but he has a golden opportunity to break out Sunday against a Panthers defense that has allowed a league-high nine rushing touchdowns to running backs this season.

Analysis

Robinson also tended to a hamstring issue in advance of last Thursday's overtime win against the Buccaneers, so his addition to the Falcons' injury report midweek may be maintenance-related. He was able to handle a typical workload Week 5 en route to 15 touches for 77 yards from scrimmage, but it remains to be seen if he'll avoid a game designation for a second week in a row.

Analysis

Robinson was disappointingly limited to his second-lowest carry total of the season, although he at least saw an appreciable uptick from the seven rush attempts he'd logged in Week 4 against the Saints. The second-year back did extend his season-opening streak of games with multiple receptions, but after five games in new coordinator Zac Robinson's offense, many of the same frustrations related to sub-optimal leveraging of Bijan's skill set persist as he awaits his first 20-carry game. The Falcons did take an unusually pass-heavy approach Thursday night -- Kirk Cousins put the ball up 59 times -- so perhaps Robinson will see a larger workload in a highly favorable Week 6 road matchup against the Panthers on Sunday, Oct. 13.

Analysis

Robinson was listed as a limited practice participant on Monday's estimated injury report due to a hamstring injury and followed it up with a cap on his reps at Tuesday's walkthrough. However, he was able to end Week 5 prep with a full session Wednesday and thus is ready to play Thursday. Through four games this season, Robinson has racked up 70 touches for 359 yards from scrimmage and one rushing score.

Analysis

Robinson downplayed his presence on Atlanta's injury report, saying he's dealing with "little nicks and bruises." He's been listed as limited in back-to-back estimated practice sessions after having also dealt with a shoulder injury before being cleared for the Falcons' win over the Saints in Week 4. Atlanta will release its final Week 4 practice report later Wednesday, when it will be known whether Robinson has upgraded to full participation. While Robinson doesn't look to be in danger of sitting out Thursday, the fact that he's banged up could compel the Falcons to hand backup Tyler Allgeier an increased role on a short week.

Analysis

Robinson has now logged back-to-back limited practice sessions due to a hamstring issue. As he's facing a short week of rest prior to Thursday's key divisional matchup against the Buccaneers, the extent of Robinson's participation in Wednesday's practice will be telling. If he enters Thursday's matchup at anything less than 100 percent, Atlanta could opt to lean on Tyler Allgeier more heavily than usual in the running game.

Analysis

Robinson played a season-low 61 percent of offensive snaps during Atlanta's 26-24 win over New Orleans in Week 4, handling just seven carries for 28 yards compared to Tyler Allgeier's eight rushes for 60 yards. It appears that a hamstring issue may have been responsible for Robinson's uncharacteristically low workload, though he did still secure all four of his targets for 46 yards versus the Saints. The Falcons have a short week to prepare for another tough divisional matchup against the Buccaneers on Thursday Night Football, so the team may opt to cap Robinson's reps in practice with the aim to keep him fresh.
