Analysts project 1,000-yard rushing and receiving season for Bijan Robinson
Summary

CBS Sports analyst Douglas Clawson predicts Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson will surpass 1,000 rushing yards and 1,000 receiving yards during the 2026 season. If achieved, Robinson would join Roger Craig, Marshall Faulk, and Christian McCaffrey as the only players in NFL history to accomplish the feat in a single year. Robinson recorded 820 receiving yards during the previous campaign. With Tyler Allgeier no longer on the roster, the team is expected to rely on Robinson and Brian Robinson Jr. as its primary running backs. Falcons head coach Kevin Stefanski is anticipated to utilize Robinson heavily in the passing game and on the ground. Projections suggest the fourth-year player could reach 2,500 total yards from scrimmage if he remains healthy throughout the season.
