Atlanta Falcons first-round draft choice RB Bijan Robinson is prepared for a heavy workload as a rookie and got a taste of what the team had in mind for him during rookie minicamp last weekend. According to Robinson, head coach Arthur Smith used him virtually "everywhere."
"He uses me everywhere, from receiver to running back. He lets me do my abilities and skill set the right way, whether it's catching the ball, running routes, obviously running the football, blocking and doing it all. ... I'm going to expect nothing less (than being coached hard), because (Smith) has a plan for me with his coaching style and making sure that I'm doing the right thing on the field and always pushing myself to new limits, new heights. I got to match that," Robinson told ESPN.com.
Music to the ears of all current and future Robinson managers. There is little doubt Smith is going to run his offense for Robinson this season. It wouldn't surprising if the No. 8 overall pick ends up surpassing 300 carries and 50 receptions as a rookie. That kind of workload - combined with Robinson's talent and the level of quality play the offensive line established in 2022 - should allow the Texas product to finish as a top-five back in fantasy this year barring injury issues.

Atlanta Falcons first-round draft choice RB Bijan Robinson agreed to terms on a four-year contract with the Falcons Thursday, May 11, worth $21.96 million, according to sources. The deal includes a fifth-year option.
Huddle Up: Robinson should receive a significant role right away with the Falcons and likely will be a weekly starting option in all fantasy leagues.

Atlanta Falcons RB Bijan Robinson was the seventh running back selected in the top 10 of the draft since 2012, and the previous six players averaged 296 touches, 1,510 total yards and 12 touchdowns with all six reaching at least 1,000 total yards and seven scores.
Huddle Up: The Falcons didn't select Robinson in the top 10 to limit his touches. He should be an every-down back from Day 1 and a focal point of the Atlanta offense. Barring an injury, Robinson should continue the trend of success for backs selected in the top 10.

Texas RB Bijan Robinson was selected by the Atlanta Falcons with the eighth overall selection in the 2023 NFL Draft.
Huddle Up: Robinson likely will receive most of the work in the running game right away and could also be involved in the passing game. He can be considered a No. 2 or No. 3 running back in fantasy leagues.

University of Texas RB Bijan Robinson stands a very "real" chance of being the selection at No. 10 for the Philadelphia Eagles at No. 10 in the 2023 NFL Draft on Thursday, April 27, according to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport.
Huddle Up: There has been much conjecture about how unlikely general manager Howie Roseman will take a running back in the first round for the first time in eons, but Robinson is unquestionably one of the best prospects in this draft regardless of position. It still seems more likely than not the Eagles go in another direction - likely offensive or defensive line - but the possibility of pairing one of the best running backs to come out of the draft in years with Jalen Hurts, A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith should be a scary thought for NFL defenses.
