Green Bay Packers vs. Atlanta Falcons Prop Picks: Will Bijan Robinson Dominate in Week 2?
Green Bay's defense struggled badly last week guarding the running back in pass coverage, which should be music to our ears, seeing Bijan Robinson's low receiving line. Robinson led the team in receptions and targets last week, and I believe Desmond Ridder will continue to feed the rookie phenom.

Green Bay Packers vs. Atlanta Falcons Prediction
In my opinion, this line is way too low for Robinson. The talented rookie is way too good of a receiving back to have this low of a line, especially when, just last week, he had six targets and six receptions.
Green Bay allowed a Week 1 league high of 11 receptions and 16 targets for 80 yards to running backs. Robinson led the team in receptions AND targets last week as a running back, but that's because Ridder is a check-down type of quarterback. He also had 27 yards receiving in his NFL debut, and I believe he'll have even more against a Green Bay team that struggles to guard the running back out of the backfield.
Robinson was second in team snap percentage at 63.5%, only second to Drake London, showing that he is going to play lots of snaps tomorrow. On top of playing running back last week, Robinson was also lined up in the slot multiple times, making him a craft check-down option, and he showed a lot of elusiveness in the slot.
I also believe Atlanta will be playing from behind tomorrow versus a talented Packers squad, which will lead to Ridder having to throw the ball more. Robinson's receiving yards is by far one of my favorite props for Sunday's slate.
