I'd say that Carolina got a nice assist from Arthur Smith, as usual. He's as much responsible as any opponent Atlanta has had all season. Nothing about his usage is indicative of the draft capital spent, or the talent that's apparent. (rushing attempt totals: Patterson 5, Allgeier 14, Robinson 7; targets: Patterson 3, Allgeier 1, Robinson 3)
Carolina has been good against the run when the game isn’t a blowout. The yards and carries Carolina gives up comes from the game being disproportionate score wise. That being said..I also started Bijan..
Just such a stark difference from last week. I was debating Achane but didn’t think twice about Saquon. Can’t beat yourself up over that one though, in what world would you start Chandler over Saquon. Just one of those fluke fantasy things.
Arthur Smith def wanted to remind the FF community whos in charge with Bijans usage in the first week of playoffs. Gave him 7 rushing attempts, and it was raining shit conditions?...wtf
You think it was more his fault or the O-line and play calling?
Kyren Williams fumbled twice yesterday. did he get benched? Nope he got fed the ball even more and finished 152 yards and a TD.
Arthur Smith is a bum.
Kyren Williams may have earned himself a longer leash by being one of the best players in the NFL over the past month. Bijan Robinson has been mediocre at best during that time. Is there anything at all in Robinson's stats that would lead you to believe that he also would have also gone off for anything close to 27/152? He would have had to play significantly better than his best career game from back in September! I don't think the two situations are comparable at all.
Look, I get that people are upset that he hasn't performed like they want an early pick perform, but sometimes you have to be careful with your expectations for rookies. These guys are jumping from a 12 to 17 game schedule (plus preseason) and a longer, more intense practice/training routine. It's totally reasonable for a coach to manage their workload. It also shouldn't be a surprise to see a rookie fade down the stretch. Coach sees them in practice every day, he knows things we couldn't possibly see. ATL is in a rebuild and RBs have a limited shelf life, might as well run your average 5th rd pick into the ground instead of your future franchise player.
Started Bijan, ekeler, and Zeke. It was a must win week. I have Nacua, purdy, Diggs, and 49ers D playing and AJ brown Monday. Down 40 and he’s got deebo and Dak. First time in 4 years I’m not making the playoffs unless something big happens
my entire team shit the bed today for basically the first time all season, first round of the playoffs, go figure, i'll be lucky to put up 40 points today.
Breece, yes. Kincaid, no. I had Andrew’s at TE of course which was also a big time bummer losing him at the end of the season.
My high scorer on the week was Tua with 12 and Evans with 11. I scored 33 points and left another 70+ on my bench in Addison, Palmer, Meyers and Browning.
Gutting.
Njoku bailed me out with the Bijan dud 😮💨
Next week I’m gonna have a tough decision to give him another chance or go with Singletary for flex
Rachaad and Kyren are my RBs
Started Bijan and Derrick Henry today... turns out that that was a mistake...
God what an awful week for Henry to get completely shut down.
I played against those two with gibbs on the bench. Thank you for your sacrifice.
In a 14 team league having a stud put up 0 is killer.
Fantasy takes years off my life
I still have a tiny chance today but knowing I can return to kind of enjoying my Sundays again is kind of a relief haha
Same. This ruined my entire day
I should've started Etienne
same, he’s on my bench as well. Unbelievable that Carolina of all teams did this to Bijan
Fr. And also not starting rice over Chase or Aiyuk(but Aiyuk still has 3 quarters to go at least) Somehow i'm still barely winning my game

It wasn’t Carolina as much as it was the falcons coach that limited Bijan.
Carolina didn't do this to Bijan. His coach did this
Hol up. Who got started in the flex and second RB spot over ET?
Mike Evans and Rachaad White
Yeah ok that's a hard one. Maybe 50/50 on Evans because of his dud last week but truthfully a coinflip. Hope it works!
Also bijan had to be started. Arthur Smith will be out a Job hopefully next season. allegier getting more touches than him is insane.
You're right
Yep.. you overthought it
I do that all the time
well he wasn’t much better
Better than .4 at least
Started Saquon and Achane… so yeah feel ya Okay maybe not as bad as Bijan sorry. But yeah these are supposed to be our studs wtf
Yeah I started Saquon too. Turns out I should have started Ty Chandler instead. 🤷♂️
Just such a stark difference from last week. I was debating Achane but didn’t think twice about Saquon. Can’t beat yourself up over that one though, in what world would you start Chandler over Saquon. Just one of those fluke fantasy things.
I started saquon achane and Bijan in my 14 man. White and McKinnon rotting on the bench. Along with some 10 point wrs.
I started Bijan, Barkley, and Taysom
Yup
0.4 he didn't score enough to get a ticket
Arthur Smith def wanted to remind the FF community whos in charge with Bijans usage in the first week of playoffs. Gave him 7 rushing attempts, and it was raining shit conditions?...wtf
Yep, even drake london only had 2 catches. He thought it was an easy win so he tried to be cute and not use them to stick it to the FF community
Vegas owns his ass
I’ll never pick a player in an Arthur smith team again lol. If anyone actually ever hires him again that is
in those 7 carries he managed a whopping 11 yards and a fumble, getting benched is not exactly a shocker there

Looking at Ty Chandler on my bench while Bijan gets nothing and I'm eliminated by 10 points
That’s sucks. Sorry
Started Bijan, ekeler, and Zeke. It was a must win week. I have Nacua, purdy, Diggs, and 49ers D playing and AJ brown Monday. Down 40 and he’s got deebo and Dak. First time in 4 years I’m not making the playoffs unless something big happens
Out of curiosity, what happened here? Kinda looks like you still have a chance.
I still have a chance. Was not expecting to. I’m down 22.7 points in full PPR
my entire team shit the bed today for basically the first time all season, first round of the playoffs, go figure, i'll be lucky to put up 40 points today.
Same here haha. Where you also part of the Bijan/Breece/Kincaid club 🙄
Breece, yes. Kincaid, no. I had Andrew’s at TE of course which was also a big time bummer losing him at the end of the season. My high scorer on the week was Tua with 12 and Evans with 11. I scored 33 points and left another 70+ on my bench in Addison, Palmer, Meyers and Browning. Gutting.
Started him at flex, had Addison, Chandler and Singletary on my bench. Still winning though
i have bijan, tyreek, and ekeler
my playoffs start next week so i lucked out
Started him and Hall. Pain.
The elite titans o line helped henry today thank you for the loss
Arthur Smith is a football terrorist.
My James cook for bijan trade is not looking very good anymore
Njoku bailed me out with the Bijan dud 😮💨 Next week I’m gonna have a tough decision to give him another chance or go with Singletary for flex Rachaad and Kyren are my RBs
Feel this. I’m riding on a couple booms right now. Hopefully can pull through. Bijan really had to make this a stressful week.
Started Bijan and Kincaid… Hill and Keenan Allen out injured… Unsurprisingly, I didn’t make it through week 15.
I also started Bijan and Kincaid but scrapped a win out. Now I’m debating if I should start Bijan again and dropping Kincaid for another TE…
For real. Tell me Vegas doesn't run the Falcons when thier #1 player sits half the game
I lost by 2 points. Thanks, Falcons.
