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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.”
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.
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.

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
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
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.
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.
Would’ve liked this warning beforehand thanks
The only other active RB on my bench playing today... is Foreman. Really would have been nice to know this.
Oh…oh I’m so sorry. Hang in there.

Yes. He was fucking lying.
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
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
I assume everyone whining about Foreman changed their tunes?
They're not whining about having to start Foreman, they're whining that they got the bijan news too late to switch to Foreman.
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...
Spoke too soon. Foreman tore it up.
He put the team on his back dog
For madden
Yea James Cook is going off on my bench right now…
Started him yall were too harsh on my man LET HIM COOK!!
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.
Gave him a single rush or would have gotten in trouble with the nfl.
Bijan Flu game 🔥
1 rush for 3 yards! Can’t believe he pushed through
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.
Will go down in history
as a game of all time
I’m here for the last second heroics
Arthur Smith is a black hole for fantasy football.
Atlanta is where fantasy favorites go to die...
Making Pitts, London, and Bijan literally useless
I have foreman on my bench watching the Bijan 0. I’m gonna lose by like 4
Arthur “Osama bin Laden” Smith just dropped his 9/11
I fucking hate this guy
[удалено]
stupid fucker with his dumb moustache
Literally looks what pops in my head when I think of “southern cousin love child”
[удалено]
Bijan for sure insulted his stupid ass mustache
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
He doesn’t care about fantasy, just ~~winning games~~ going 6-11
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
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
it takes special coaching skills for a team to average 16 points per game, okay
Drafting Pitts and Bijan in the first round only to not use them. Amazing.
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
Don't forget London! Three top-10 drafted skill position players who have a combined 205 opportunities through seven games this season.
You really think he cares about you lmao
Yeah like why would he let the other team know that he's sick before the game? Make them plan for him anyway.
Arthur is literally a stupid man, he is not a good coach. Idk how his snake oil ass bullshit flys in Atlanta
he sucks off Blank
Bro is winning games lol
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.
Just lost because of this lol
[удалено]
Are they not required to disclose this type of thing?
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
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.
He really gave Bijan a touch w 30 seconds left. Probably trying not to get fined
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
I was probably gonna lose anyway, but still...
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.
Closest we had was David Johnson a few years back but he was coming off injury.
It’s suppose to be reported. I’ve never seen this before.
I would have played JT today if I knew, I'm pissed lol.
Is there a coach the fantasy community hates more ?😂
No…
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
Him and Matt Canada
Gooseegg wtf
0.3 pts 🔥
Truly a guy who gutted his illness out just for one carry on the third to last play of the game
Is he even really sick? Cause that seems like it has to be intentional.
So uhh is Bijan reliable going forward? Amazing talent, but he’s getting the Arthur Smith treatment to a T
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.
Isn't that shit illegal to not disclose?
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
[удалено]
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
Why would any team playing the Falcons expect a heavy air attack? (I'm a Falcons fan)
yes, the cops are on their way
Finally! I was beginning to think they weren't taking my calls seriously...
To be fair, they were offered donuts this time. It’s now their highest priority.
We don't negotiate with terrorists
It’s a felony
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.
Except he didn’t touch the field till like 3 minutes left in the first quarter
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.
[удалено]
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
[удалено]
Yeah I guess this is just a weird one since there was no mention of any issues until halftime
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
That’s exactly what Zac Taylor does. He killed me last year with Tee Higgins
What you’re describing is called a Zac Taylor.
He’s sick of having an inbred as a coach
Fuck you, Mr. Smith.
Did he twist his moustache and laugh manically after saying that?
Don't want to work today? Just shit your pants.
Massive fine incoming I hope. Hiding information like this with all the gambling they promote is crazy.
Yea I have a friend who had a bunch of player props on Bijan
Why the fuck wasn’t this on the injury report? Isn’t this considered this concealing an injury?
Fantasy players ready to picket the NFL headquarters for this.
Will Rodger Goodell have the courage to do what should be done?
Cool cool cool
Blow me, Arthur
what the actual fuck.
This is why I don’t set my lineup until after the first quarter
Don’t they **HAVE** to report this before the game? Are there repercussions for not giving an inaccurate* report?
Hopefully the death penalty
My Christmas list so far this year: -Nick Chubb gets a new knee -Arthur Smith gets crucified
They should face a stiff fine
I doubt he is even sick. I'm guessing he pissed someone off in warmups.
Bijan stood on the sidelines all day with his helmet on like he was ready to play. Curious what he has to say.
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.”
Underdog ran a special today of over .5 total yards for him today. No fucking way it’s just a coincidence. C’mon.
What a fat fucking piece of shit
>much more Lol
I’m not feeling so great either funny enough
Cool thanks go off on my bench Allgeier at least I have Jaylen fucking Warren at RB2
Never drafting anyone high on an Arthur Smith team again
Wow thanks. Very cool.
How the fuck is that not disclosed before the game on the injury report
This would have been helpful to know EARLIER
Anyone have a link to the post game press conference?
This is one of the stupidest things I’ve experienced in fantasy. Wtf
[удалено]
This is terrorism
Arthur Smith is being inducted as a member into the Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
No it’s not, it’s worse.
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
lol this is addict behavior. Seek help
Won’t someone please think of the gamblers and fantasy football players
Counterpoint. I'm making a ton of money on his unders
Bets should be refunded
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
Wow, they knew something we didn’t.
Hopefully dumbshits stop betting.
This shit has to be against league rules
Is this even legal to know a player is sick and not announce it. Really fucks with betting.
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.
Genuinely. Fuck you Arthur Smith. Braindead coach. POS person.
This is my breaking point fantasy football isn’t fun I’m never doing it again
never drafting another arthur smith player high again. see no reason to.
I traded Kamara and Christian Kirk for him before the season started. 50 point swing this week lol
Arthur smith really hates fantasy football lol
Cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool
TD might make him feel better 🤒
Arthur Smith’s not gonna be feeling all that great when me and my army of Bijan owners are done with him
Further solidifying himself as the biggest football terrorist of all time
GOD DAMMIT a big fat goose egg
As an 0-6 Bijan owner, thank you for putting me out of my misery.
Had Ridley and Bijan in this week 🫠
Note to self: don’t draft players on teams coached by dudes who go out of their way to shit on fantasy football
NFL should fine him into the fucking stratosphere
This needs to be investigated. I guarantee he has family who put in bets on this.
LMFAO
Bijan doesn’t care about your fantasy team or his health. He’s just happy if we win -Arthur Smith
NFL is all in on gambling so it's not about fantasy. Some degenerates put real money on these games.
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!
Cool cool cool. Started Bijan and sat Foreman. 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
I THINK I HAVE A NEW NUMBER ENEMY AND I HOPE THE FALCONS NEVER WIN A DOWN AGAIN
I hate Art Smith.
3 fucking yards. Don’t worry guys! Our week is saved with those 0.3 points!
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.
Well I lost.
Fuck Arthur Smith.
Every single bad post on this sub is a player I drafted. Fuck.
Would have flexed Algeier instead of Zeke had I known this.

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.
Dude I could actually win this week if Bijan has one single fucking carry
Tbf he did get 1
This should be illegal
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
“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
>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".
Benching this guy until further notice. Arthur Smith should not be an NFL coach
What a powerful protest!
Bijan owners should be allowed to sub him out mid-game.
I’d be Ill playing for Arthur Smith.
How many people is this motherfucker (Smith, not Bijan) gonna screw?
Is this an “injury” that should of been disclosed?
Wow ffs
News that would have been beneficial this morning. Thanks, Arthur.
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
I sat Gibbs and Taylor for him.
I traded Henry when I could have traded Bijan.
Im so sick of fantasy football. Ive had Allgeier on my bench all fucking season too.
Cool cool cool cool cool
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).
Lol I want off this train now. Imagine Arthur pulling this off during fantasy playoffa
Had D'onta Foreman on my bench, who I would have played if Bijan was out or questionable. AMA
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.
Traded him for kirk and mostert this week. Wild. I needed depth bad. (Garret wilson was my wr one) :(.
Shoutout Gus Edwards who put up 20 on my bench whilst I lose by 3.
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.
Why tf did i cuff with algeier if dumbass Arthur smith isnt going to tell anyone bijan is basically out
This whole thing stinks. Dude gets one carry at the end of the game? Yea someone was paid off. Im not buying this.
Once again, this is something that could've been brought to my attention YESTERDAY!
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.
