RB Bijan Robinson, ATL (3 Viewers)

I think what stung most was watching Bijon sitting at the end of the game while Taylor and Allgeier were driving and scoring. I get why the Falcons do it, but it's a gut punch for fantasy when it's happening live like that on both sides of a tight matchup.

The usage is frustrating. He's still getting touches, but they aren't quality touches in space. Seems like he's often used as a decoy to free up WRs or runs for Allgeier. On passing plays he's just trotting out to the flat to draw defenders. Many times doesn't even look like he's trying to run a route. Why are you putting him in motion and lining him up at WR if you're aren't designing plays to get him the ball?

Bijan must prefer the pistol, because he's almost exclusively used that way when he's in the backfield. He's 7 yards from the line of scrimmage and there are defenders just waiting for him with open arms when he gets to the line. Allgeier had several runs yesterday with Penix from under center.

I'm not worried. PPR points by game in chronological order:
24
20
16
28
41
21
7
18
11

I mean, yeah, his last three games are in his bottom four on the season, which sucks right now, but any reason to think this is anything but a random trend?

As a guy who drafted him in dynasty, I hate Jahmyr Gibbs and his owner more than words can say.
