Bijan Robinson
vs Ashton Jeanty

“RB Receiving Usage *Data from PFF Bijan Robinson is on another planet in terms of usage. He saw 62% of Atlanta’s total rush attempts and targets on the day, the highest rate of his career! Looking at the Buccaneers backfield, Bucky Irving was not usurped by any means by Kenneth Gainwell .”

“However, the literal majority of those yards came from dumpoffs to Bijan Robinson, who finished with 90 yards (mostly on catch-and-runs) on ten targets. That leaves, if you can do the math: 53 passing yards on 12 targets that went to the rest of the team. Unfortunately for managers who drafted them, Drake London and Kyle Pitts combined for two catches for 29 yards on five targets.”

“We’ve seen Robinson put up strong fantasy performances with subpar quarterbacks, and Rush should be checkdown-friendly.”

“Jonathan Taylor , Derrick Henry , Jahmyr Gibbs , and Bijan Robinson could all threaten 300 rush attempts, making them excellent candidates to become the 2026 NFL rushing yards leader.”

“Bijan Robinson (RB – ATL) Robinson has been a fantasy star since entering the NFL, posting a top-nine PPR finish every year of his career. Furthermore, the former Texas star finished as the RB3 in 2024 and the RB2 last season despite totaling only seven rushing touchdowns.”

“Robinson is my favorite bet to be the RB1 overall in 2026.”

“Last year, Bijan Robinson was the RB2 in fantasy points per game. For most of the season, he was pacing towards a 1,000-yard season for rushing and receiving before tailing off at the end of the season (820 receiving yards).”

“Meanwhile, Bijan Robinson is the top overall player on my board and should see a spike in goal-line rushing work with Tyler Allgeier finally gone.”

“The Case for Bijan Robinson Since entering the league in 2023, Robinson has established himself as an elite running back.”

““ Ashton Jeanty is an exciting youngster with a bright future ahead of him, but week four seems ominous. Even though the Raiders play at home, there are easier things in life than running against the Chiefs’ swarming defense, led by standout defensive lineman Chris Jones . Despite their 3-0 record, the Raiders seem more like a paper tiger than a force to be reckoned with come January.”

“The offensive line has been dramatically improved from last year when it impeded basic functionality as an offense, and RB Ashton Jeanty looks like a special back. The Raiders are 2-0 despite not having TE Brock Bowers available, which is amazing considering how thin their skill group is viewed as. Unfortunately, I have serious doubts about how sustainable all of this is.”

“The former No. 6 overall pick, Jeanty suffered an ankle injury in the preseason but didn’t look any worse for wear. Las Vegas got creative in how they deployed him, using him frequently as a receiver out of the backfield, and he responded with a huge game. The Raiders needed Jeanty to show out this season, and he passed the first test.”

“Jeanty ran confidently and experienced no setbacks, leading the Raiders to a 27-13 victory over Miami’s hapless team. Vast improvements along the offensive line opened up gaping holes for Jeanty – hopefully that trend continues all season. Stud:”

“Ashton Jeanty suffered an injury scare in August, but the powers of the prayer circle worked, as he suffered only a low-ankle sprain and was a full practice participant on Wednesday's initial injury report. Mike Washington Jr. also shined in the preseason.”

“Bottom line- this doesn’t seem like a good matchup for the Buccaneers or Irving.” – Mark Ringo ( Sleepers and Busts ) Ashton Jeanty (RB – LV) “ Ashton Jeanty has a juicy matchup on paper at home against the Dolphins, but the bigger issue for Jeanty owners is that Mike Washington Jr. looks more explosive than the former 1st-round pick.”

“As a rookie, Jeanty was thrust into an abominable offense in Las Vegas and put up respectable numbers even though most of his carries looked like fight scenes from a Bruce Lee movie, with wave after wave of attackers coming at our hero. Jeanty ran for 975 yards and five touchdowns, and he caught 55 passes for 346 yards and five touchdowns.”

“Ashton Jeanty was my preferred pick here, but with his preseason injury, I’m looking elsewhere.”

“Ashton Jeanty went down with an ankle injury in Sunday’s practice, the rookie Washington stepped into the first-team reps, and he has earned the market’s attention with his preseason work: Six carries for 63 yards including a 53-yard burst against Arizona, then 56 more yards against Houston, while flashing ability in pass protection and as a receiver. Even with Jeanty expected back, Washington has vaulted up boards as the clear next man up in a Raiders backfield that suddenly looks thin behind the star. Deebo Samuel Sr.”
