The Atlanta Falcons will visit the New Orleans Saints in Week 12. 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 12?
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 Robinson in Week 12?
Bijan Robinson racked up 110 total yards and a touchdown in the first half last week against the Panthers, with the score being the type where if it happened in a video game, you’d chuck the controller across the room.
He was quiet in the second half, but 27 touches is pretty tough to argue with and we could see a similar workload this weekend with Drake London sidelined.
All signs point to this being a competitive game, and four straight RBs have cleared their season average in PPR points when facing the Saints. A shift to Kirk Cousins doesn’t impact how I view Atlanta’s RB1 in a major way, and if he’s a real threat to push 30 touches, I’m loading up on DFS shares.
