Bijan Robinson put on an absolute show for the Atlanta Falcons on Monday night, making him a big riser in this week's NFL Stock Watch.
Buffalo officially elevated veteran defensive lineman Jordan Phillips and safety Jordan Poyer from the practice squad for Monday's matchup with Atlanta. Phillips is on his third stint with the Bills, while Poyer, a former All-Pro, is on his second.
Robinson matches a career high with 170 rushing yards and Atlanta intercepts Buffalo QB Josh Allen twice and denies his comeback attempt to hold on for a 24-14 win.

Bijan Robinson hits milestone last reached by Thurman Thomas in 1991
Through the first five games of 1991, Thomas averaged 101 yards rushing per game with another 62 yards as a receiver. Robinson is just shy of Thomas' average on the ground with 97 rushing yards per gam, but Bijan has a minor edge as a pass catcher with 68 yards per game.
On the first play from scrimmage Monday night, Bijan Robinson fumbled after a 3-yard gain. Christian Benford recovered for the Bills at the Atlanta 46. The turnover, though, was negated by an offsides penalty on Greg Rousseau. Five plays later, the Falcons were in the end zone and holding an early 7-0 lead.
