Bijan Robinson 2025 Season in Review

Bijan Robinson finished the 2025 season as the number 2 running back in total PPR scoring and the number 2 running back in PPR per game. That's the headline — and it's not a fluke of volume or efficiency. It's both. Robinson was the engine of an Atlanta offense that finished 8 and 9, ranked 24th in total offensive expected points added, and got below-average quarterback play from both Michael Penix Junior and Kirk Cousins. He still cleared 1,478 rushing yards, caught 79 balls, and scored 11 total touchdowns. When the offense around him sputtered, Robinson was the one thing that kept working.

Now let's dig into the numbers. Robinson handled 287 carries and 103 targets in 17 games — a true bell-cow workload, the kind of dual-threat usage that mints elite fantasy seasons. He averaged 5.2 yards per carry and added plus 257.1 rushing yards over expected, seventh among qualified runners at plus 0.9 per attempt. Translation: he wasn't just being fed volume — he was creating yards the blocking didn't give him. The receiving line is where this profile separates from every other workhorse: 79 catches, 820 receiving yards, 4 receiving touchdowns, on a 20 percent target share. He averaged 21.8 PPR points per game, and the consistency held — he cleared 14 PPR points in 13 of his 17 games, with five games above 29 and only two real duds, the Miami blowout in Week 8 and the Week 18 finale against New Orleans. Steady floor, genuine ceiling. Not boom-or-bust.

The defining moment came in Week 17 against the Rams. First quarter, Atlanta up 14 to nothing, first and 10 from their own 7. Robinson took the handoff right tackle and broke it for a 93-yard touchdown — the longest play of his season, worth plus 6.7 expected points added on a single snap. That run captured the whole year: a workhorse back on a middling offense who could turn one touch into a game by himself. In a season where Atlanta's quarterbacks combined for negative completion percentage over expected and the team finished below average in offensive expected points added, Robinson was the reason this offense had a pulse at all.
