Atlanta @ Carolina
Team Totals: Falcons 24, Panthers 19.5
Bijan Robinson might be fantasy’s near-consensus 1.01 pick if we re-drafted today; he’s averaging 21.5 touches for 146 yards through two games, having dominated in the receiving game in Week 1 (6/100/1) and as a rusher in Week 2 (22/143/0). Week 3 opponent Carolina has been clocked by enemy backs for 5.7 yards per carry. In last year’s two meetings with Panthers DC Ejiro Evero’s defense, Bijan combined for 43/265/4 (6.2 YPC) rushing. … This doesn’t project as a pass-heavy affair for Atlanta as a near-touchdown favorite against a severely short-handed Panthers team, and Michael Penix Jr. is volume reliant due to his pocket-passer approach. The good news is Penix’s pocket should be clean — Carolina has just one sack through two games — and the Falcons’ pass-catching arsenal is fully intact.
