News: 6 days agoRobinson took 17 carries for 90 yards and two touchdowns while bringing in three of five targets for eight receiving yards in Sunday's 30-24 overtime loss to the Commanders.

Spin: Robinson churned out multiple rushing touchdowns in consecutive weeks for the first time in his young career Sunday. The rookie's late-season scoring binge brought him up to 12 rushing scores to go along with 1,286 yards through 16 games this year. Robinson will attempt to finish the regular season on a strong note when the Falcons host the Panthers next Sunday.

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.
