2024 Outlook from 
Set to Break Out in Sophomore Campaign
Bijan Robinson had an up-and-down rookie season after being selected by the Atlanta Falcons with the 8th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. Despite finishing as the RB17 on a per-game basis as a rookie, Robinson's efficiency metrics should have fantasy managers chomping at the bit to roster him in 2024. Per PlayerProfiler, he was 9th among running backs in yards per touch and 5th in yards created. What's even more promising for his fantasy value is the advanced receiving metrics. Robinson was top-3 in routes run, route participation, and target share. Of running backs that played 16+ games in 2023, only Breece Hall and Christian McCaffrey had more targets than Robinson. Hall and McCaffrey finished as RB2 and RB1 on the season, respectively. With Kirk Cousins now the signal caller in Atlanta, expect the offense to take a giant step forward in 2024. That should mean many more touchdowns for Robinson, who scored just eight on 300 total opportunities as a rookie. Don't hesitate to use a top-5 draft pick on him this season.
