Bijan Robinson Won't Be Affected By Illness Going Forward

one year ago

Atlanta Falcons rookie running back Bijan Robinson (illness), who had just one touch in the Week 7 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday because he wasn't feeling well, won't be affected going forward and is fully expected to play in Week 8 against the Tennessee Titans. Robinson played just 11 of the team's 65 offensive snaps but shouldn't face any restrictions on his snaps in Week 8. The 21-year-old first-rounder "wasn't feeling like himself" and the Falcons made the decision to keep him mostly on the sideline while rolling with Tyler Allgeier and Cordarrelle Patterson in the backfield. Fantasy managers had a tough break with Robinson in their lineups in Week 7, but he should remain in starting lineups going into the tilt against the Titans.
