Bijan Robinson Eyes History: 140 Rush Yards in a Fourth Straight Primetime Game
Robinson has 494 rushing yards and 4 TDs through four games. Only Emmitt Smith shares his three-game primetime 140-yard streak — and Baltimore is next.
RB2 overall who's chasing primetime history — never leave him on your bench.
- 494 rush yds, 4 rush TD through 4 games (2026)
- 105 PPR pts, our RB2 and #4 overall (2026)
- 140+ rush yds in 3 straight primetime games
- Ravens allow 100.0 rush yds/game, 10th-fewest
- 194 rush yds, 2 TD vs Packers in Week 3 (2026)
Bijan Robinson is doing something only one other human has ever done. The Falcons' All-Pro back has rattled off three consecutive primetime games with at least 140 rushing yards — a club whose only other member is Emmitt Smith, the NFL's all-time leading rusher. Through four games this season Robinson sits at 494 rushing yards and four scores, worth 105 PPR points, which lands him as our RB2 and the #4 player overall for 2026.
The streak started in Week 17 last year with a 195-yard, one-TD explosion against the Rams. Then came 194 yards and two touchdowns at Lambeau in Week 3, and 145 yards plus two more scores against the Saints in Week 4 — a night he kicked off with a 59-yard sprint on his very first carry. Now he's one more 140-yard primetime outing away from standing completely alone in the record book.
The hurdle in Week 5 is Baltimore's run defense, which is allowing 100.0 rushing yards per game, the 10th-fewest in the league. The Ravens practice against Derrick Henry every day, so they know what an elite back looks like. But Henry is a 6-foot-3, 252-pound bruiser at 32. Robinson is a 24-year-old at 5-foot-11, 215 pounds who wins with burst and elusiveness — a completely different problem to solve.
Why the Matchup Favors Him
That stylistic gap is exactly why the bold call here is Robinson clearing 140 again. Defenses built to absorb a downhill hammer tend to struggle with a back who can bounce runs outside and make the first man miss in space. Baltimore's prep work against Henry doesn't translate cleanly, and Atlanta has shown it will feed Robinson a heavy workload — 29 carries in Week 3, 19 in Week 4.
The Fantasy Fallout
There's nothing to overthink here. Robinson is a locked-in, every-week RB1 who's already piled up 105 PPR points in four games and carries a rushing floor most backs can't touch. Even if the Ravens hold him under the magic 140 number, his volume and goal-line role keep his fantasy ceiling intact. Start him, enjoy the ride, and don't you dare shop him in a trade — this is as close to a weekly cheat code as fantasy football offers right now.
