Brian Robinson Jr. is listed RB2 on the Atlanta Falcons depth chart behind Bijan Robinson. Deterministic pick; the model overview was unavailable.
Backfield news: Trey Sermon: Out (espn_rosters)
Scouting: Atlanta's RB2 on the Week 3 depth chart and the power/short-yardage complement to Bijan Robinson. Would head an early-down committee if Bijan missed time, though Atlanta would likely spread passing-down work. Currently managing an ankle injury — limited Sept. 21, Thursday status unresolved.
Starter injury history: 2023-2025: played all 17 games each season; 2025 league-high 2,298 scrimmage yards on 366 touches. No significant injury absence in three years; small bump only for back-to-back 300-plus-touch workloads. 2026: not listed on Atlanta's Week 3 estimated injury report (Sept. 21) and still RB1 on the Week 3 depth chart.
Analyst write-up pending; deterministic pick shown.
Next up behind Alvin Kamara; depth chart RB3.
Rest of the stableCJ Donaldson (RB4)ExpandCollapse
CJ DonaldsonRB40% rostered · free long shotUndrafted rookie who has held an active-roster spot behind Etienne, Kamara and Kendre Miller. Still no reported offensive role. With Ty Chandler out for the season and Miller missing Thursday's practice with an illness, he is next in line for depth snaps, but nothing yet establishes a carry share. Speculative dynasty stash only.
Injury history: No verified injury information gathered this cycle, and he does not appear on the Sept. 24 Saints injury report. Missing injury data does not establish health.

Kendre Miller is listed RB3 on the New Orleans Saints depth chart behind Alvin Kamara. Deterministic pick; the model overview was unavailable.
Backfield news: Audric Estime: Out (espn_rosters) Ty Chandler: Out (espn_rosters) Travis Etienne Jr.: Out (espn_rosters)
Scouting: Buried in a crowded room behind Etienne and Kamara, with a Week 2 healthy scratch on his 2026 record. He is at 9 carries on the season, so whether the scratch or the carries better describe his role is genuinely unresolved. An illness kept him out Thursday. Contract year. No standalone redraft value; any handcuff case runs through Etienne's or Kamara's health, not his own trajectory.
Starter injury history: Has missed games in each of the last several seasons; played 11 in his most recent campaign. 2026: sprained MCL, still out of practice as of Sept. 3 with the team evaluating week-to-week and declining to set a timeline (date-only report); not placed on PUP. Age 31.
Listed starter Travis Etienne Jr. is Out; Alvin Kamara steps in.
