Atlanta’s Week 2 SNF win over Minnesota showcased a renewed rushing identity. Bijan Robinson ripped off 143 yards on 22 carries (168 total) while Tyler Allgeier added 76 on 16 attempts with the team’s lone TD. The 218 rushing yards were the most in a non-overtime game since late 2023, underscoring Robinson’s RB1 upside and Allgeier’s steady floor as Atlanta leaned on the ground game to control tempo.

Michael Penix Jr. was not efficient (13-of-21, 135 yards), highlighting the Falcons’ plan to win by ground. If this approach sticks, Robinson remains a fantasy cornerstone, Allgeier remains a solid flex with upside, and Atlanta’s ceiling rises with a run-first game plan driving the offense and clock control.
