Brian Robinson Jr. finds the end zone on Thursday night

Brian Robinson Jr., the running back for the Atlanta Falcons, had a significant performance in their Week 3 win over the Green Bay Packers. He carried the ball 10 times for 50 yards and scored a touchdown, according to Yahoo Sports. This brings his total to 148 yards and a touchdown over three games, filling in for Tyler Allgeier.

The Falcons' win came after a 0-2 start to the season. Their quarterback situation has been complex, with Michael Penix Jr. being drafted eighth overall in 2024 but not immediately taking over as starter, as reported by SB Nation. The team had signed Kirk Cousins, a top free agent quarterback, expecting him to lead the team while Penix developed.

Robinson's performance makes him a worthy roster addition in most leagues, particularly for those who own Bijan Robinson, as a handcuff. He can also be considered an RB5, providing some week-to-week value.
