Player props for Steelers vs. Falcons
How Bijan Robinson could hit over 63.5 rushing yards
Robinson averaged 57.4 rushing yards per game in his rookie season with the Atlanta Falcons while sharing the rushing load with Tyler Allgeier. He could see more carries this season under new Atlanta offensive coordinator Zac Robinson. In his rookie campaign, Bijan Robinson saw 15 or more carries in only four of the 17 games he played. Of those, he eclipsed 75 rushing yards in all but one game.
How Bijan Robinson could hit under 63.5 rushing yards
One of the biggest surprises of Robinson’s rookie year was what an effective part of the Falcons’ passing game he proved to be. With new QB Kirk Cousins under center, Atlanta could look to air the ball out more and get Robinson even more involved as a receiver.
The short-yardage passing game could be even more of a key component against the Pittsburgh pass rush led by T.J. Watt. In games where Robinson saw seven or more targets as a receiver last season, he only cracked 60 rushing yards once.
How Russell Wilson could hit over 203.5 passing yards
Wilson averaged 204.7 yards per game through the air last year with Denver, a team that struggled to establish any sort of running game and had little in the way of go-to receivers. Now with the Pittsburgh Steelers, a team that has a strong running back tandem, Wilson leads an offense that could threaten teams enough on the ground to open things up through the air.
How Russell Wilson could hit under 203.5 passing yards
Pittsburgh hired offensive coordinator Arthur Smith with an expectation that he’d prioritize the running game, as he did in Atlanta and Tennessee. Wilson had to battle Justin Fields for the QB1 spot, and he didn’t exactly emerge with a clear mandate.
Wilson also enters this game with a calf issue that kept him limited in practice, so Pittsburgh could be reluctant to lean on him in a close game. In games where he saw fewer than 30 passing attempts last season with Denver, Wilson only cracked 200 passing yards once.
