Offline auction drafters’ biggest fear materialized on Tuesday when Brian Robinson Jr. signed a one-year deal with Atlanta, teaming up with Bijan Robinson to create a potential B. Robinson conundrum for intoxicated fantasy drafters. Robinson will presumably help fill the role vacated by Tyler Allgeier‘s absence.
BRIAN ROBINSON JR.
- Robinson is 6-foot-1 and 225 pounds. He has the size necessary to be a threat for carries near the goal line, an area in which Allgeier matched Bijan last year (each had seven carries inside the 5-yard line, and Allgeier out-carried Bijan 19-17 inside the 10).
- The Falcons could still add more RB competition in the draft, but right now, their RB3 is Nathan Carter, primarily a special teams helper who was on and off the healthy scratch list all of last year. If ATL doesn’t bring in more running back help, Robinson would be the unquestioned handcuff to Bijan. Brian Robinson Jr. has shown glimpses of pass-catching viability, but he largely has not been trusted in that regard, and Atlanta’s RB target share would plummet if Bijan went down, with more looks funneling to Drake London and Kyle Pitts rather than B-Rob stepping into a really legit pass-catching role. Still, with the draft pending, B-Rob could find himself one injury away from a 15+ carry workload.
