A second Falcon has to solve a roster problem. Bijan Robinson already gives you Atlanta's rushing volume, receiving work and first claim on the offense's best scoring chances. Adding another Atlanta player should bring something your lineup still lacks.
The decision starts with Drake London: take him when target volume is missing.
If tight end remains open after your first two starters are secure, wait for Kyle Pitts. Leave Atlanta alone after you have Bijan plus either pass catcher. Brian Robinson can help the Falcons, but a third piece from the same offense asks one Sunday to carry too much of your fantasy lineup.
Start with everything Bijan already covers
Bijan doesn't disappear when the run game stalls. He can release into the flat, work against linebackers and turn a short throw into a scoring play. Down the stretch in 2025, he averaged 17.7 carries and 7.3 targets. Those are two separate ways to keep a fantasy week alive.
FFN ranks him RB1 in PPR for August 29. The useful part of that ranking is the workload behind it: 281 projected carries and 99 targets. Drafting him means you already own Atlanta's backfield access, including most of the plays where a running back can score.
Brian Robinson arrived in March after an official signing, but his late-season role in San Francisco was modest. He averaged 3.7 carries across his final three appearances and played fewer than 15% of the offensive snaps. Atlanta may use him for short-yardage work or to spell Bijan. Until that job becomes larger, he fits deep formats as injury protection. He doesn't solve a new lineup need for a roster that already has Bijan.
I won't use Brian as the third piece until Atlanta shows him earning a stable weekly role.
London adds the target load
Choose London when your early roster still needs a receiver who can carry volume. His work reaches parts of the field Bijan's backfield touches don't. London can win outside, break inside on intermediate routes and command the throws that create chunk gains.
Week 18 against New Orleans is the football memory worth keeping. London played 94% of Atlanta's offensive snaps, drew eight targets and accounted for just over half of the team's air yards. On throws beyond the line of scrimmage, he was still the featured answer.
FFN has London at WR7 in PPR. Treat him as the final receiver in that top-seven tier. That's the checkable call: if your roster needs a lead target earner, draft London at that threshold and stop adding Falcons afterward.
Kevin Stefanski now leads Atlanta, with Tommy Rees as offensive coordinator. A new staff can change formations and sequencing, but it doesn't need to invent London's job. The question for camp is how often the offense keeps him on the field while moving Bijan around the formation. Those snaps let both players threaten different levels of the defense on the same play.
One poor Atlanta passing day can still hit London and Bijan together. The pairing works because London fills a real receiver need, and the roster should carry other offenses behind them.
Pitts fits the other build
Pitts belongs on a different roster. He can fill tight end once your first two weekly starters are secure.
His Week 18 usage looked like a full-time receiving job: 92% of the snaps, nine targets and a 30% target share against New Orleans. He also averaged seven targets over his final three appearances while staying above a 90% snap share. Pitts can align in the slot, detach from the formation and attack the middle after Bijan pulls a linebacker toward the line.
Atlanta called passes on 52.4% of its red-zone snaps in 2025. That balance matters because Pitts doesn't need Bijan to lose his rushing work. He needs to stay on the field, run routes when Atlanta reaches scoring range and keep a meaningful share of the throws.
FFN ranks Pitts TE9 in PPR. Wait until the elite tight ends are gone, then use him when the lineup can absorb a quieter week. Otherwise, London gets the preference.
Choose the second Falcon by what your lineup lacks
| Roster After Bijan | Decision | Why It Fits | Cost Of Being Wrong |
|---|---|---|---|
| Needs a lead receiver | Draft London at the WR7 threshold | His intermediate and downfield targets add a scoring path beyond the backfield | A poor passing day affects both starters |
| Has dependable receiver volume | Wait for Pitts after the elite TE tier | His full-time route role fills a scarce lineup spot | Targets can still tilt toward London |
| Already has Bijan plus London or Pitts | Pivot to another offense | The next player should spread weekly scoring dependence | Atlanta could concentrate enough work to support all three |
Teammate combinations can win leagues. Atlanta has a plausible version of that outcome because London and Pitts both finished 2025 with substantial snap shares, while Bijan handled work on the ground and through the air. Two Falcons can capture that concentration without making the entire roster answer for Atlanta's worst offensive week.
Three is where the build gets brittle. A new passing structure can struggle, Brian can take a few valuable goal-line snaps, or one receiver can dominate while the other goes quiet. Any one of those outcomes is manageable with two Falcons. The third player turns ordinary weekly variance into a roster-wide problem.
The risk is that Atlanta concentrates nearly every valuable touch among Bijan, London and Pitts. In that outcome, the two-player limit leaves points behind and a third Falcon becomes playable.
Pitts' 2025 finish sets the last preseason check. He stayed above a 90% snap share over his final three appearances. If his preseason usage falls well below that level, the second-Falcon preference shifts to London before Week 1.
