The Atlanta Falcons (3-3) will host the Miami Dolphins (1-6) in Week 8. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding RB Bijan Robinson.
Is Bijan Robinson Playing in Week 8?
Robinson is not on the injury report and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Falcons’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Bijan Robinson in Week 8?
If it wasn’t for Christian McCaffrey existing, what Bijan Robinson is doing would be the topic of even more stories. He’s pacing to be the rare 5+ YPC and 5+ receptions per game player, proving himself as one of the most script-proof backs in recent memory.
Nothing against Rico Dowdle (32.4 PPR points against the Dolphins), Kimani Vidal (22.8), or Quinshon Judkins (26.4), but none of them are in the same zip code as Robinson. They all had their way with this fading franchise, and that puts Robinson in position to do special things.
He’s my RB1 for Week 8, and if the Falcons want to make a statement for their best player, this could be a crowning moment on a historic season.
