Bijan Robinson, Falcons

The beauty in these elite talents is that one touch has the ability to impact your box score more than a dozen ineffective ones.

Bijan Robinson was the first player to score on Sunday with a 50-yard catch-and-run, making his Week 1 an effective one even if none of his 12 carries gained more than six yards in what we believed to be a plus-matchup.

Better days are ahead in terms of consistency, that much we know. The fact that he was able to return top-10 value at the position on what will likely be his worst rushing performance of the year means you dodged a bullet.

Robinson was my 1.01 this summer, and I feel even better about that assertion now.


The Vikings are a big bad bully when it comes to their style of play. They blitz to set up the blitz and then blitz some more. We’ve all seen this style work in various competitive atmospheres – the most aggressive card player can control the table, and NBA teams who lean most into launching triples have an unmatched ceiling.

But what happens when the opponent has a counterpunch that hits harder than the pressing strategy?

Nothing good for the defense, that’s what.

During his first two seasons, Robinson gained yardage on 84.9% of carries against loaded boxes (qualified RB average: 77.7%) and ripped off gains of 5+ yards 30.2% of the time. You’re never benching Atlanta’s alpha male, and I think he has every chance to allow the Dirty Birds to dictate this game on the road under the bright lights of Sunday Night Football.
