Here’s Why Bijan Robinson Is Worth a High Draft Pick

Bijan Robinson is all the rage in the world of fantasy football. The eighth overall pick of the Falcons in the 2023 NFL draft, he’s already a locked-in first-round fantasy pick across the board. His best-ball average draft position at Underdog is 7.8, and he’s the second running back coming off the board behind just Christian McCaffrey.

All the hype dates back to his impressive collegiate career.

Robinson was sensational in his final two seasons at Texas, putting up a combined 2,707 rushing yards and 29 rushing touchdowns. He also averaged nearly six yards per attempt. Robinson can catch the ball out of the backfield, too, posting 45 catches for 609 yards and six scores as a receiver. Heck, he would even line up in the slot, showing that he can run routes and be utilized in multiple roles.
