Bijan Robinson Tallies 32 Touches, Totals 135 Yards And A Score In Loss

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson amassed 135 total yards on 32 touches and found the end zone in Sunday's 17-13 loss to the Chargers. The Falcons leaned heavily on the 22-year-old on the ground, giving him 26 rush attempts on which he gained 102 yards and scored, while continuing to keep him involved in the passing game with six catches for 33 yards. It was the 11th time in 12 games that the former first-round draft pick has caught at least three passes and his eighth touchdown of the season. The workhorse load has made the second-year pro one of the top fantasy options at running back in 2024, and while he'll have a tough matchup in Week 14 against the Vikings who are one of the top defenses against the run, Robinson's work in the passing game should again provide him with a solid floor in fantasy.

Kirk Cousins Will Remain Falcons' Starting Quarterback

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins had a horrible showing in Sunday's narrow loss to the Chargers, throwing for 245 yards and four interceptions. The veteran hasn't tossed a touchdown in his last three appearances, so many are wondering if a quarterback change could be in the works. However, head coach Raheem Morris didn't entertain that idea while speaking to the media following the loss. "We have no issues with that man," said Morris regarding Cousins. "That guy has gotten us to the point where we are at 6-6, first place in the division, we still have everything in front of us despite what happened today." With Atlanta dropping three-straight games, Cousins will look to get it together in Week 14 versus the Vikings, his former team. With that in mind, anything can change moving ahead, so fantasy managers in multi-QB formats should consider grabbing Michael Penix Jr. off waivers, where available, in case the rookie takes over at some point.

Younghoe Koo Active For Falcons

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo (hip) is officially active for Week 13 against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. Koo was listed as questionable to play in this game after popping up on the injury report on Thursday, but he was able to practice in full on Friday and will be good to go this weekend. Atlanta signed kicker Riley Patterson to their practice squad this week as insurance with Koo up in the air. The 30-year-old Koo has been more inconsistent than ever before in 2024 for the Falcons, missing seven of his 26 field-goal attempts through 11 games. At perhaps less than 100 percent on Sunday, fantasy managers should consider him a low-end kicking option for starting lineups against a Chargers defense that has been among the best units in football this year. The Bolts have allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to kickers through 12 weeks.

Riley Patterson Elevated From Practice Squad

Atlanta Falcons kicker Riley Patterson has been elevated from the practice squad ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Falcons have brought up Patterson as insurance with Younghoe Koo (hip) still banged up heading into Sunday. Patterson has only appeared in one game this season as he knocked down three extra point attempts with the New York Jets in Week 9. He has bounced around a bit since joining the league as an undrafted free agent in 2021. Patterson could be worth a look as a possible streaming option if Patterson is unable to play.

Tyler Allgeier A Risky Fantasy Play In Week 13

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier disappeared in Week 11, not recording a single carry after the team quickly fell behind to the Broncos and abandoned the run. Fresh off their bye week, Week 13's matchup with the Chargers should be more competitive, however, it's hard to project what Allgeier's involvement will be as he's waffled between single and double-digit carries each of the last seven games (6-18-5-12-6-11-0). Los Angeles has been tough against the run, yielding the fifth-fewest fantasy points to running backs, and has allowed a league-low five rush TDs. The 24-year-old isn't a factor in the passing game either, which makes him a risky RB4 this week, although he remains a strong handcuff to Bijan Robinson if managers have an available roster spot.
