News: 3 days agoRobinson rushed 14 times for 97 yards and brought in four of five targets for 25 yards in the Falcons' 22-21 win over the Eagles on Monday night. He also recovered a fumble.

Spin: Robinson once again was kept busy throughout the night, logging just five fewer touches than the 23 he recorded in Week 1 against the Steelers. He was more efficient with his rush attempts Monday than he had been versus Pittsburgh, and he was consistent throughout the night while recording a long run of 19 yards. Robinson's usage under new coordinator Zac Robinson has been encouraging -- even as backfield mate Tyler Allgeier saw only five fewer carries than him Monday -- and Robinson undoubtedly will play another robust role when the defending champion Chiefs come calling for a Week 3 Sunday night showdown.

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.
