one year ago

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson will make his NFL regular season debut Sunday against the Carolina Panthers. Robinson had an outstanding college career at Texas. Last year, the former Longhorn had 258 rushing attempts for 1,580 yards and 18 touchdowns, leading the Big 12 in rushing yards and touchdowns. Furthermore, he averaged 4.17 yards after contact per attempt last season. According to PFF, the Falcons had the top run-blocking offensive line in the NFL in 2022. Meanwhile, the Panthers surrendered 19.8 half-point PPR fantasy points per game to running back last year, around the league average. While the matchup isn't elite, Robinson is a matchup-proof superstar.
