Bijan Robinson’s Fantasy Outlook
Some players just pop off the screen, and Robinson is certainly one of them. It’s a treat to watch him in space, and I expect we see more of that as this offensive unit gels.
He carried the rock 14 times for 97 yards against the Eagles, pulling in four of five targets (25 yards) for good measure. He had a few chances to score and couldn’t get across the line, something that I expect to correct itself with time.
Robinson is deserving of the Tier 1 price tag you paid this summer, and if the Falcons are going to keep this hype, it’s because he has done something special.
Tyler Allgeier’s Fantasy Outlook
Allgeier got 10 touches against the Eagles on Monday, but part of that was the result of being on the field when Atlanta got into a situation where they didn’t want Philadelphia to sub.
I expect that to be something of a high-water mark moving forward, and that’s going to make stand-alone value almost impossible. I like Allgeier as one of the top five handcuff options in the league, and that demands he be rostered in all formats, but expecting him to work his way into your Flex decisions while Robinson is healthy is more optimistic than I’m willing to be.
