Brian Robinson vs. Carolina — Touchdown-Dependent Backup Role Keeps Him on Benches

Operating as the primary backup behind starter Bijan Robinson, Brian Robinson handled nine carries for 31 yards in Week 1. While reports leading into the year hinted at potential goal-line involvement, Atlanta's offensive front enters this home matchup banged up with injuries to Chris Lindstrom and Jawaan Taylor.

Our weekly projections slate Robinson for roughly 43 rushing yards on 12 carries with virtually no passing-game usage (around 5.8 fantasy points). Rostered in roughly 10% of leagues and started in under 1%, he lacks standalone viability in standard leagues and should remain on fantasy benches.
