The Atlanta Falcons will visit the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 15. 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 15?
Robinson is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.

Should You Start or Sit Robinson in Week 15?
Most people will look at Robinson’s 20 carries against the Seahawks last weekend and be disappointed with 86 yards and zero scores. I can’t excuse the fumble that he lost, but with nine of those attempts picking up 5+ yards, he was running well against one of the best units in the sport.
Tampa Bay locked him up back in Week 1 to an even greater degree (12 carries for 24 yards), but they had no answer for him out of the backfield (6-100-1).
Why would this week be any different?
The Bucs are built to deny you easy yards between the tackles, but that leaves them vulnerable to this type of freakish athlete that can turn the corner on anyone.
I’ll go ahead and say it: I think we get a Barry Sanders-like game from Robinson this week. The carry-by-carry recap may not look good, but throw enough punches and I’d bet on one landing in a significant way.
He’s my RB2 for Week 15, sitting behind only the great Christian McCaffrey (vs. TEN).
