News: 1 day agoRobinson carried the ball 22 times for 94 yards and two touchdowns and caught both his targets for nine yards in Sunday's 34-7 rout of the Giants.

Spin: The second-year running back produced his third multi-TD game of the season while topping 100 scrimmage yards for the fourth straight contest and the ninth time in the Falcons' last 10 games. Robinson is up to 10 rushing touchdowns on the campaign, plus one receiving score, to go along with 1,616 scrimmage yards, putting him in fairly exclusive company -- only Saquon Barkley and Derrick Henry also have double-digit scores and 1,600 combined yards so far in 2024. Robinson will look to keep rolling in Week 17 against the Commanders.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Robinson's rookie season was a mixed bag that included limited rushing contributions (15th or lower in carries, yards and TDs) but excellent receiving production (top five among RBs in routes, targets, yards and TDs), as well as terrific efficiency. Robinson's season felt underwhelming considering his early-first-round pedigree, but he finished fifth among RBs in snaps, sixth in yards and ninth in fantasy points. With Kirk Cousins now under center and Zac Robinson replacing run-heavy Arthur Smith as the team's play caller, a leap forward for Robinson seems likely in his second campaign. That will especially be the case if he manages more work near the goal line (only two carries inside the 5-yard line in 2023). Robinson should be one of the first RBs off the board on draft day.
