Robinson Jr will make up a new-look backfield in Atlanta alongside star RB Bijan Robinson.

Bijan, 24, has emerged as one of the league’s star running backs.

And with the addition of another B. Robinson to the Falcons, fantasy football fans are concerned that they make pick the wrong one heading into next year.

“There are going to be some TRAGIC fantasy football draft accidents this year,” one wrote on X.

“I’m definitely going to mess this up lol,” a second joked.

“Drafting based on last names alone is about to become the ultimate league losing mistake,” a third chimed in.

“If u still doing redrafts in 2026 thats a skill issue,” a fourth commented.

“I got them confused a couple of years a ago,” another added.

Robinson Jr is set to take Tyler Allgeier’s place in the Falcons’ lineup.

Allgeier, 25, has departed for the Arizona Cardinals.

Robinson Jr spent last season with the San Francisco 49ers as a backup for Christian McCaffrey.

He previously spent three years with the Washington Commanders.
