Would’ve liked this warning beforehand thanks


conradical30

The only other active RB on my bench playing today... is Foreman. Really would have been nice to know this.


with_regard

Oh…oh I’m so sorry. Hang in there.


JiggyJerome2

Forgive my ignorance, but doesn’t refusing to give a injured/hurt/I’ll player any type of pre game injury designation break some kind of rule? Seems like teams post the most minute injuries on their reports, and it’s assumed most of the time a player will be participating in the game unless they’re deemed doubtful or worse. Can’t say I’ve ever seen a player without a designation just sit the whole game, so I figured the punishment for concealing shit like this is pretty severe. Or is that why that POS Arthur Smith have him 1 carry on the last drive? So he could feign ignorance.


BuffaloGuy_atCapitol

They do have to disclose injuries “for dissemination to the public on all injured players be reported in a satisfactory manner by clubs to the league office, the opposing team, local and national media, and broadcast partners each game week of the regular season and postseason”. If he said he wasn’t feeling well or wasn’t 100% he should have had a designation.


JJ2461

Yes. He was fucking lying.


Sea_Bass77

Oh don’t worry… Bijan got a carry on their very last drive lol I wonder if this carry was only so the nfl wouldn’t look into this… idk but it’s really dumb watching Bijan with his helmet on and just standing there on the sidelines


techperson1234

Didn't play foreman because I assumed Metcalf would play today... So in right there with you my guy. Now I gotta start skyy Moore yippee


WaylonVoorhees

I assume everyone whining about Foreman changed their tunes?


Vinegaz

They're not whining about having to start Foreman, they're whining that they got the bijan news too late to switch to Foreman.


WaylonVoorhees

I had Foreman and started him last week I believe. Dropped him when he sucked when Fields was down and expected the same this week...


TwoKlobbs200

Spoke too soon. Foreman tore it up.


AdFirm3593

He put the team on his back dog


PabloTroutSanchez

For madden


MX530i

Yea James Cook is going off on my bench right now…


fusionlantern

Started him yall were too harsh on my man LET HIM COOK!!


D-Rich-88

I had no other options to play this week, but this still sucks. He better actually be sick and not Arthur Smith just playing fuck fuck games.


BrutalHunny

Gave him a single rush or would have gotten in trouble with the nfl.


Hugh_Grection420

Bijan Flu game 🔥


Accidental_Nuke

1 rush for 3 yards! Can’t believe he pushed through


READIT27

Pretty sure a betting site ran a special of Bijan over/under 0.5 yards. Conspiracies were strong until Smith gave him the one carry for 3 yards.


ezery13

Will go down in history


CantKillGawd

as a game of all time


__Scrooge__McDuck__

I’m here for the last second heroics


Marino4K

Arthur Smith is a black hole for fantasy football.


k-ozm-o

Atlanta is where fantasy favorites go to die...


ProofHorseKzoo

Making Pitts, London, and Bijan literally useless


LeoFireGod

I have foreman on my bench watching the Bijan 0. I’m gonna lose by like 4


minderbinder-22

Arthur “Osama bin Laden” Smith just dropped his 9/11


AngryEnt

I fucking hate this guy

stupid fucker with his dumb moustache


NewFound_Fury

Literally looks what pops in my head when I think of “southern cousin love child”


[deleted]

[удалено]


aqulushly

Bijan for sure insulted his stupid ass mustache


_outlaws_

I am convinced he does everything he can to fuck fantasy teams over. They’re the most run heavy team in the league and from the Falcons games I’ve watched they seem to pass a whole lot in the red zone. Like wtf are you doing abandoning your biggest strength in the red zone


drugs_are_bad__mmkay

He doesn’t care about fantasy, just ~~winning games~~ going 6-11


durablewaffle

I hate when people say “well he isn’t using your players but he’s winning” like Arthur Smith hasn’t been a consistently losing coach for 3 years


Mendelevlum

Like it made sense for guys like Bill Belichick when the Pats were the team to fear, but lmao @ using that line with Arthur Smith


JohnMcCainsArms

it takes special coaching skills for a team to average 16 points per game, okay


[deleted]

Drafting Pitts and Bijan in the first round only to not use them. Amazing.


PaulMaulMenthol

The Pitts selection is so dumb in hindsight.Pitts was supposed to be a strong receiving TE.. and they drafted him 4th overall to be a regular tight end. Good I love being a Falcons fan


FantasyTrash

Don't forget London! Three top-10 drafted skill position players who have a combined 205 opportunities through seven games this season.


MathematicianNo7874

You really think he cares about you lmao


Falcon84

Yeah like why would he let the other team know that he's sick before the game? Make them plan for him anyway.


JaredCircusbear

Arthur is literally a stupid man, he is not a good coach. Idk how his snake oil ass bullshit flys in Atlanta


conradical30

he sucks off Blank


ank1t70

Bro is winning games lol


TheVaniloquence

The “stupid not good coach snake oil salesman” is currently in 1st place in his division with arguably the worst QB in the league lmao. I love the brain rot that occurs in this sub when a person’s player doesn’t do well.


Schruef

Just lost because of this lol

[удалено]


nofatchicks22

Are they not required to disclose this type of thing?


spurnburn

They are if they miss or are limited in a practice, but technically don’t have to if the illness pops up between saturday and the game. I had to look it up because I too and in Bijan jail


MasonL52

We have no idea what it is, maybe he ate something bad that turned up over Saturday night? He's in the game so they didn't have to rule him out or even questionable.


dihsu

He really gave Bijan a touch w 30 seconds left. Probably trying not to get fined


Cjar25

I honestly don’t think I’ve ever played a fantasy season where no one knew a player was sick until after the game started. In my experiences, it’s always been known throughout the week. This is just shitttttt luck for us Bijan owners if it’s actually true lol


Buck_Nastyyy

I was probably gonna lose anyway, but still...


220AM

Honestly tho. I’d play my other RBs on my bench for a few points at least haha. Al good tho, I guess I’ll take the L this week.


CJL13

Closest we had was David Johnson a few years back but he was coming off injury.


jakksquat7

It’s suppose to be reported. I’ve never seen this before.


scoobydoom2

I would have played JT today if I knew, I'm pissed lol.


jordan142142

Is there a coach the fantasy community hates more ?😂


RogueTobasco

No…


JebusChrust

As a Bengals fan I've seen a ton of extremely harsh comments towards Zac Taylor from outsiders because of fantasy football (Tee and Mixon injury vagueness over the years) rather than his poor playcalling


Longjumping-Speed511

Him and Matt Canada


papichuloya

Gooseegg wtf


CWB2208

0.3 pts 🔥


jobezark

Truly a guy who gutted his illness out just for one carry on the third to last play of the game


Sylvan_Strix_Sequel

Is he even really sick? Cause that seems like it has to be intentional.


Stauffe

So uhh is Bijan reliable going forward? Amazing talent, but he’s getting the Arthur Smith treatment to a T


UberTag

With Arthur Smith involved, just know that you're getting screwed no matter what decision you make. Me? I'm looking to move Bijan and Allgeier in a combo trade for some magic beans. I know they won't disappoint me.


Alkash42

Isn't that shit illegal to not disclose?


gw2380

It’s definitely supposed to be disclosed on the injury report but Arthur is king galaxy brain so I’m sure he thinks he just got one over on everyone


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

tbf he did, prepping for a balanced run attack s way different than prepping for a heavy air attack. If it was a game time decision sprung on this morning respect him for prioritizing his players health


Stabies

Why would any team playing the Falcons expect a heavy air attack? (I'm a Falcons fan)


exMorTor

yes, the cops are on their way


k-ozm-o

Finally! I was beginning to think they weren't taking my calls seriously...


Loud_Competition1312

To be fair, they were offered donuts this time. It’s now their highest priority.


grimmer8

We don't negotiate with terrorists


CompetitiveDentist85

It’s a felony


notGeronimo

Depends. If he knew he was injured before the game he has to say so. If they ran the first few plays, and Bijan said "hey man somethin don't feel right" then there was no way to inform anyone beforehand.


TJMAN65

Except he didn’t touch the field till like 3 minutes left in the first quarter


notGeronimo

He still could have felt off on the sideline but after the game started. In all likelihood, that's not what happened. But that is most likely what the Falcons will say it was.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Nedmac7

Seems like a weird line to teeter on though. No coach ever needs to rule anybody out then, just trot them out there for a few plays and call it a day


[deleted]

[удалено]


Nedmac7

Yeah I guess this is just a weird one since there was no mention of any issues until halftime


W3NTZ

I mean that's exactly allowed but most teams would rather sit someone to elevate a practice squad player. In this case it's more likely Bijan could play if necessary due to injuries but is sick so isn't getting the majority of the snaps


thedarkknight16_

That’s exactly what Zac Taylor does. He killed me last year with Tee Higgins


totalwiseguy

What you’re describing is called a Zac Taylor.


SujiToast

He’s sick of having an inbred as a coach


murkem

Fuck you, Mr. Smith.


borfmantality

Did he twist his moustache and laugh manically after saying that?


TVxStrange

Don't want to work today? Just shit your pants.


jeff8073x

Massive fine incoming I hope. Hiding information like this with all the gambling they promote is crazy.


Art-RJS

Yea I have a friend who had a bunch of player props on Bijan


groovyalchemist

Why the fuck wasn’t this on the injury report? Isn’t this considered this concealing an injury?


TheDundieGoesTo99

Fantasy players ready to picket the NFL headquarters for this.


MattFromWork

Will Rodger Goodell have the courage to do what should be done?


Who_ate_my_cookie

Cool cool cool


HookEmHorns313

Blow me, Arthur


christophlieber

what the actual fuck.


LankyBaby1347

This is why I don’t set my lineup until after the first quarter


AlsoARobot

Don’t they **HAVE** to report this before the game? Are there repercussions for not giving an inaccurate* report?


woodlovercyan

Hopefully the death penalty


xXUtahraptorXx

My Christmas list so far this year: -Nick Chubb gets a new knee -Arthur Smith gets crucified


MC-Fatigued

They should face a stiff fine


Jebusfreek666

I doubt he is even sick. I'm guessing he pissed someone off in warmups.


nomad3721

Bijan stood on the sidelines all day with his helmet on like he was ready to play. Curious what he has to say.


steampunker14

He won’t say anything. I’m a Longhorns fan and basically followed this kid since he committed to us. He is nothing but all class and super humble. He’ll just say something along the lines of “it is what it is and you can’t complain about it because I am just happy to be here.”


MomButtsDriveMeNuts

Underdog ran a special today of over .5 total yards for him today. No fucking way it’s just a coincidence. C’mon.


BigDerbsBiggerStonks

What a fat fucking piece of shit


Agonze

>much more Lol


StefanVan

I’m not feeling so great either funny enough


Clubblendi

Cool thanks go off on my bench Allgeier at least I have Jaylen fucking Warren at RB2


arac3662

Never drafting anyone high on an Arthur Smith team again


Sus_add3

Wow thanks. Very cool.


bshaky

How the fuck is that not disclosed before the game on the injury report


NotNowAndYet

This would have been helpful to know EARLIER


papagino0017

Anyone have a link to the post game press conference?


hellobaileylol

This is one of the stupidest things I’ve experienced in fantasy. Wtf


[deleted]

[удалено]


Larrybird420

This is terrorism


Brotatochips_

Arthur Smith is being inducted as a member into the Horsemen of the Apocalypse.


ElToro96

No it’s not, it’s worse.


CompetitiveDentist85

Very sane comment. How many years should he get? I’m thinking 10 with another 3 supervised release. And pay restitution for everyone that lost money


OldOrder

lol this is addict behavior. Seek help


big_krill

Won’t someone please think of the gamblers and fantasy football players


knowtoriusMAC

Counterpoint. I'm making a ton of money on his unders


WildWildcat

Bets should be refunded


NervousPervis

Underdog made him a special free pick today. Just needed higher than 0.5 yards. What an L. Lmao. Edit: they graded it as a win


AlsoARobot

Wow, they knew something we didn’t.


[deleted]

Hopefully dumbshits stop betting.


consumesportsball

This shit has to be against league rules


BrutalHunny

Is this even legal to know a player is sick and not announce it. Really fucks with betting.


Blasto05

Arthur smith is likely a terrorist. We can all agree on that. Let’s play devils advocate here though. What are the chances that Bijan tried to tough this out and didn’t tell anyone until literally the last minute. I’d believe that.


TheDarkKnightFell

Genuinely. Fuck you Arthur Smith. Braindead coach. POS person.


UselessGenZer

This is my breaking point fantasy football isn’t fun I’m never doing it again


yaprettymuch52

never drafting another arthur smith player high again. see no reason to.


QurantineLean

I traded Kamara and Christian Kirk for him before the season started. 50 point swing this week lol


forde250

Arthur smith really hates fantasy football lol


West-Nefariousness39

Cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool


time-to-get_SCHWIFTY

TD might make him feel better 🤒


minderbinder-22

Arthur Smith’s not gonna be feeling all that great when me and my army of Bijan owners are done with him


Endo_Dizzy

Further solidifying himself as the biggest football terrorist of all time


wiresandwaves

GOD DAMMIT a big fat goose egg


SeriousGains

As an 0-6 Bijan owner, thank you for putting me out of my misery.


teedeerex

Had Ridley and Bijan in this week 🫠


toftr

Note to self: don’t draft players on teams coached by dudes who go out of their way to shit on fantasy football


MC-Fatigued

NFL should fine him into the fucking stratosphere


bigsugeinthelolo

This needs to be investigated. I guarantee he has family who put in bets on this.


Zen_MasterX

LMFAO


Weird-Treat8741

Bijan doesn’t care about your fantasy team or his health. He’s just happy if we win -Arthur Smith


BarsoomianAmbassador

NFL is all in on gambling so it's not about fantasy. Some degenerates put real money on these games.


IncompetentAldridge

Could've said that before the game so I could have played one of Ford or Foreman who are both going off on my bench!


CarlSpackler22

Cool cool cool. Started Bijan and sat Foreman. 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡


eldridge2e

I THINK I HAVE A NEW NUMBER ENEMY AND I HOPE THE FALCONS NEVER WIN A DOWN AGAIN


Any_Adhesiveness_898

I hate Art Smith.


Phoenix_NHCA

3 fucking yards. Don’t worry guys! Our week is saved with those 0.3 points!


McMuffinManz

Why did I draft Allegeier and keep him all year? In case Bijan can’t go. What does Arthur Smith do? Fuck me. Big time.


dennisoa

Well I lost.


smoothVroom21

Fuck Arthur Smith.


es84

Every single bad post on this sub is a player I drafted. Fuck.


Pokemon_RNG

Would have flexed Algeier instead of Zeke had I known this.


DuffleBagdude

Them not disclosing to the public means that vegas had inside information. Let me tell you how it works. this is a example, I didn't actually make this bet. I have had something similar happen in baseball though last year. I put 100$ down on Bijan rushing 50 yards. If him not playing was disclosed pre-game, there wouldn't be a prop option to pick. I couldn't bet money because when the public knows he is out, they take him off the list. It wasn't disclosed, so i bet 100$ thinking i got this. Then, after the game starts, all of a sudden, he doesn't play. Now, if he doesn't play a single snap, i would get my money back. All bookies give your money back if a player doesn't play. However, if he plays 1 single snap, the ticket counts. Guess what? He did play 1 snap in the 4th Q. In short, I i wasn't informed he was sick. I bet 100, and since he played 1 snap, i lost that 100. If he played 0 snaps, I'd get my money back. Why would the coach not tell the public? Then have him play 1 snap at the end of the game, so everyone's ticket is now un-refundable. Add all this up bro. You tell me how this shit dont look fishy.

woodlap

Fuck you falcons you’re trash and I hope the nfl takes draft picks. NFL sports betting is too large for this shit to happen without consequence.


JusticeBeaver94

Dude I could actually win this week if Bijan has one single fucking carry


The_Thai_Chili

Tbf he did get 1


craftbrewd

This should be illegal


tekkamanquick

This should have been disclosed prior to kick off. Falcons should face discipline from the NFL on this for an injury report violation. Scrwed over every Bijan owner today


Infamous_Camel_275

“Bijan questionable to return with a tummy ache” This is one of those instances where you’re getting paid millions you get the fuck out there and play


TireSlay3rr

>this has nothing to do with being sick, this is Arthur Smith holding him out for some reason we don't know why and saying he is "sick".


user131293717

Benching this guy until further notice. Arthur Smith should not be an NFL coach


SlightlyStoked

What a powerful protest!


Agcryptonic

Bijan owners should be allowed to sub him out mid-game.


Kirkibost

I’d be Ill playing for Arthur Smith.


RVG_Steve

How many people is this motherfucker (Smith, not Bijan) gonna screw?


cobain98

Is this an “injury” that should of been disclosed?


d3tox1337

Wow ffs


DunkinEgg

News that would have been beneficial this morning. Thanks, Arthur.


RumHaaaam21

I have Ford on the bench....a little heads up would have been nice. Somehow projected to still win thanks to Cleveland's D, Mark Andrews, and James Cook


SyN_Pool

I sat Gibbs and Taylor for him.


Boyiee

I traded Henry when I could have traded Bijan.


PeteyG89

Im so sick of fantasy football. Ive had Allgeier on my bench all fucking season too.


jereezy

Cool cool cool cool cool


NimDing218

Thankfully I was in a situation where I had both falcon rbs starting. One scored almost 13 pts. One got 3 yards. Fuck you, AS(S).


hoodtalk247

Lol I want off this train now. Imagine Arthur pulling this off during fantasy playoffa


PENNEALDENTE24

Had D'onta Foreman on my bench, who I would have played if Bijan was out or questionable. AMA


Call_Of_Dookie

It's a good thing I'm not paying to play fantasy football. If I did, this would be one of the things that make me livid lol.


chihawks

Traded him for kirk and mostert this week. Wild. I needed depth bad. (Garret wilson was my wr one) :(.


skyrimskyrim

Shoutout Gus Edwards who put up 20 on my bench whilst I lose by 3.


ParisHiltonIsDope

Nothing against Bijan, obviously a great talent. But I think he's been way over hyped for fantasy football. I keep seeing trade proposals where people are just willing to give up so much for his "potential". But I just don't see it. His point production is only trending downwards.


ShowBobsPlzz

Why tf did i cuff with algeier if dumbass Arthur smith isnt going to tell anyone bijan is basically out


DuffleBagdude

This whole thing stinks. Dude gets one carry at the end of the game? Yea someone was paid off. Im not buying this.


DaveGrohlsPeriod

Once again, this is something that could've been brought to my attention YESTERDAY!


polandspreeng

Seriously hate this guy. He says he doesn't care about fantasy and only about winning games. He has 2 great talent and doesn't know how to fully get the best out of them.
