Bijan Robinson Isn't Worried About Touches

Nov 29, 2023 9:01 AM

The Atlanta Falcons haven't used Bijan Robinson heavily after drafting him with the eighth overall pick, but the running back isn't concerned.

He was used heavily in Week 12, totaling 123 yards on 19 touches with two touchdowns.

"This is what they expected of me," Robinson said after the Falcons' win over the New Orleans Saints.

Robinson said he's aware of the interest from the fantasy-football community in seeing him do more, but that he has no choice but to ignore it.

"I never wanna be the guy to talk about touches," Robinson said. "I just know that whatever touches i do get, I have to make the most of it."
