That's right, a third Falcons running back has the potential to be on fantasy football rosters this season. Eyebrows were definitely raised when Atlanta selected Robinson because Allgeier and Patterson were a solid one-two punch in 2022. Patterson was excellent in 2021, but the receiving back saw a tremendous drop in production due to Allgeier's presence: 695 rushing yards and 122 receiving yards in 13 games.
If Robinson or Allgeier gets injured, the 32-year-old has proven he's capable of replacing them with his dual threat capability. However, his age signals his production could take a dip. Early reports suggest we could Patterson used more as a wide receiver this season which makes sense given the two backs ahead of him. That pushes Patterson into the very late rounds in redraft leagues or a high priority waiver wire add once the season begins.

Drake London to miss Week 9, groin injury Missed practice all week By: Mike Krueger | Fri Nov 3, 12:58 pm

| | Falcons injury report: Drake London among three Falcons ruled out of Week 9 clash vs. Vikings. (Scott Bair on X)
FFToday's Take: The Falcons and new starting quarterback Taylor Heinicke will be without their best receiver against the Vikings. Expect Mack Hollins, Van Jefferson and Cordarrelle Patterson to have bigger roles along with tight ends Kyle Pitts and Jonnu Smith. However, only one or possibly two are likely to be fantasy worthy given Arthur Smith's offensive scheme.

| Bijan Robinson disappears in Week 7 Headache By: Mike Krueger | Sun Oct 22, 8:00 pm

| | Bijan Robinson said he was dealing with a headache that didn't lessen enough for him to comfortably play Sunday. "It (started) last night, I was feeling weird," Robinson said. "I woke up, just completely out of it. I tried to take medicine so I could be good for the game. But my head was hurting. Bad. I don't know what was going on. I tried to go in pregame, but then coach (Arthur) Smith said, 'We'll be all right. Let's get you right.'" (AtlantaFalcons.com)
FFToday's Take: It would've been nice to know this information some time before 1 pm Eastern. Robinson ended up getting one carry late in the game while Tyler Allgeier (24 touches) and Cordarrelle Patterson (10 touches) handled the running back duties. Robinson was never on the injury report this week.
