Overview
- Brian Robinson Jr., who agreed Tuesday to a one-year, $2.5 million contract, will slot in as Atlanta’s No. 2 running back.
- He replaces Tyler Allgeier, who left for the Cardinals on a two-year, $12.25 million deal, and is expected to handle short-yardage and goal-line snaps.
- Robinson backed up Christian McCaffrey with the 49ers in 2025, logging 92 carries for 400 yards and two touchdowns across 17 games.
- The signing trims the veteran market for teams still seeking help at running back, with Seattle cited as missing on a target as it rebuilds depth.
- Atlanta’s backfield has featured heavy RB2 usage in recent years, so Brian Robinson offers reliable power behind Bijan Robinson and a dose of fantasy-draft confusion with two “B. Robinsons” on one roster.
