Bijan Robinson

The Eagles run defense gave up 163 rushing yards in Week 1

Robinson was easily the main focal point of the Falcons' offense seeing the first three touches of the game. Though he did not find the end zone, Robinson saw 15 touches before halftime and was the clear top option for Atlanta. With less than four yards per carry, it was an inefficient day for Robinson, but the heavy usage is an encouraging sign. Pencil Robinson in as an RB1 moving forward.

The Falcons' running back rotation was a whole lot of Bijan Robinson and not much else. Allgeier saw three touches and showed some burst on his carries while seeing some backfield snaps that had both Allgeier and Robinson in the game. Allgeier is a valuable handcuff moving forwards, but is less likely to have standalone value.

Cousins had an underwhelming performance in his Falcons debut, tossing two interceptions and fumbling the ball on a miscommunication with Ross Dwelley in motion. Ray-Ray McCloud was his most-targeted receiver on the day while the Falcons offense struggled to push the ball downfield. There will be growing pains as the Falcons offense continues to develop, but it was a rough start as Bijan Robinson was a focal point. Cousins coming off his Achilles injury will be a QB2 heading into next season.
