Star running back Bijan Robinson was listed as limited on the Atlanta Falcons' injury report for Monday and Tuesday, raising some eyebrows among fans and fantasy managers. Atlanta will clash against divisional rivals Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday, trying to get over the .500 mark after a hard-fought Week 4 victory over the New Orleans Saints.

Robinson didn't have the best performance against the Saints and should be keen to get things back on track against the Bucs, who are coming off a commanding win over the Philadelphia Eagles. If you're a fantasy manager, this is what you need to know about Robinson's availability for tomorrow's game.

Bijan Robinson injury update

Bijan Robinson is off the injury report after spending the last two days dealing with a hamstring issue, according to NFL insider Tom Pelissero. With the short time to prepare between the Saints and Buccaneers game, many may have thought Robinson wouldn't be able to take the field tomorrow night.

He carried the ball seven times for 28 yards against NOLA, which isn't common for one of the best running backs. Robinson himself told reporters that he was ready to go for tomorrow.

"I'm good," Robinson said. "Just like these little nicks and bruises that I got, but I'm ready to go for tomorrow."

The Falcons have had a complex start to the season, first losing to the Pittsburgh Steelers at home before bouncing back against the Eagles. They lost to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 3 before returning to winning ways against the Saints last weekend.

Slot receiver Ray-Ray McCloud III and right tackle Kaleb McGary (who didn't play in Week 4) are also ready for Thursday night's duel.

Bijan Robinson fantasy outlook Week 5

Bijan Robinson's fantasy outlook for this week looks promising. He's considered the 18th overall player and RB7 by ESPN for this week. Robinson is projected to get 16 carries for 76 yards while catching four passes for 29 yards and a total production of 17.53 fantasy points.

The second-year running back is expected to have a fruitful season, but the Falcons are still trying to figure things out after getting a new head coach and quarterback during the offseason.

The Buccaneers allowed 84 yards from Saquon Barkley last week, and Bijan Robinson could take advantage of that to help his squad win the game.
