Bijan Robinson

Bijan Robinson says the plan for him in 2024 is to be utilized in a manner similar to Christian McCaffrey in San Fransisco. When elaborating further, Bijan spoke of being utilized as a traditional running back on early downs while on latter downs being used in creative ways out of the backfield via the passing game. 

This is welcome news as it signals a potential increase in snap share for Bijan Robinson. In order for Bijan to mimic anything close to Christian McCaffrey he will need to stay on the field and share less of the backfield with the reliable Tyler Allgeier. 

Head Coach Raheem Morris wants to deploy Bijan Robinson as much as possible. While we can’t expect Tyler Allgeier to be completely irrelevant, this news is music to the ears of Bijan drafters who expect him to take the next step in his sophomore campaign. 

While his 2023 targets were 3rd at the running back position, Bijan Robinson was 19th in carries with 214 and 32nd in red zone rushes with 31. Look for Tyler Allgeier’s 186 carries in 2023 to slim down in favor of Bijan Robinson in 2024. Bijan Robinson is the 2nd ranked running back in our Dynasty rankings at Player Profiler and is going at an ADP of 7 overall in UnderDog Best Ball drafts.

Raheem Morris made sure the carry-on bag for his flight east included a Sean McVay disciple in Rams pass-game coordinator Zac Robinson. Not enough can be said for the Rams late round gems in Kyren Williams and rookie sensation Puka Nacua that have crystalized into 2024 first round ADP players.

The Rams were 4^th in red zone pass attempts in 2023. This bodes well for Drake London’s touchdown regression from 2 receiving touchdowns last year as well as Kyle Pitts 3 total touchdowns. With bell cow opportunity share, Kyren Williams 2023 21.3 fantasy points per game will have fantasy managers appropriately excited for Bijan Robinson’s second year breakout.

As Desmond Ridder isn’t even an adequate stand-in for Matthew Stafford, the heat is on the Atlanta Falcons to make an upgrade at quarterback. With the 8^th overall pick in the first round of the NFL Draft, the Atlanta Falcons are in a flexible position to pursue quarterback via free agency, a trade for Justin Fields, or boldly moving up in the draft to secure one of Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, or Jayden Daniels.

Raheem Morris secures the position of the Atlanta Falcons’ new head coach after emerging as the top choice from a pool of 14 candidates. Having orchestrated the 2021 Rams defense to victory in the Super Bowl against the Cincinnati Bengals, Morris eyes his first Super Bowl trophy as a head coach, while owner Arthur Blank seeks his initial championship win.

Under Arthur Blank’s ownership, the Falcons boast considerable offensive talent, with skill position players highly coveted in fantasy football. Despite the challenges of the now-dismissed coach Arthur Smith, Bijan Robinson maintained an impressive 14.5 fantasy points per game. Drake London anticipates a regression from his 2023 touchdown count of 2 and aims to benefit from a more accurate quarterback in 2024, having recorded 69 catches on 109 targets. Additionally, revelations of Kyle Pitts’ less-than-optimal health in 2023 suggest an increased snap share above 65.1%, setting the stage for the breakout season fans have been eagerly anticipating.

Following a 7-10 record in the 2023 campaign, the Falcons present an enticing opportunity for both veteran and rookie quarterbacks. A turnaround to a 10-7 record is well within reach, positioning the team as strong contenders for the top spot in the NFC South.
