Bijan Robinson, the top running back in the 2023 NFL Draft class and one of the best prospects at the position in recent memory, is headed to the Atlanta Falcons, the most run-committed team in the league. This is a nightmare scenario for defensive players in the NFC South. It might be a questionable pick in reality, but it's a near-perfect landing spot in fantasy.
Basically, he's without glaring weaknesses and his strengths are absolutely outrageous. This isn't just another random back stepping into a good situation. Robinson is an uncommon talent stepping into one of the best possible situations. Under head coach Arthur Smith, the Falcons ran the ball a league-leading 559 times last season behind an excellent run-blocking line. Robinson has prototypical size, vision, remarkable receiving ability and unrivaled footwork.
So if a team is going to spend a first-round pick on a non-premium position like running back in today's league, they need to view the player as transcendent — a foundational offensive weapon deserving significant touches both as a rusher and receiver. That's Robinson. Any fantasy plans you previously had forhave been canceled, because Bijan is definitely getting all the work he can handle in 2023.
