It’s the fantasy football playoffs, so you can’t blame managers for being on the edges of their seats as they watch Week 15 in the NFL.
And as you know, when fantasy managers get angry, they tend to go to social media to share their ire when something goes awry with a player on the field.
This time around, it was all around Bijan Robinson. The Atlanta Falcons rookie sensation has been up and down this whole season, and even though he’s been up lately, Falcons coach Arthur Smith has been public enemy No. 1 for the fantasy community.
That was the case on Sunday, when he had just seven (!!!) carries for 11 yards and one catch on three targets for just three yards. Oh and a fumble lost meant … that’s awful.
Here’s what the reaction was like:

Bijan Robinson with a 0.4 pts performance in fantasy football playoffs is an all-timer. Brutal.

"Bijan, Pitts and London were all good in Week 14. Maybe we can trust the Falcons again!"

Arthur Smith finally letting Bijan Robinson be an RB1 over the last month just to completely own fantasy managers in the playoffs is a really good way to wrap up the season.

Imagine if Arthur Smith called the whole playbook for Bijan, and not just outside runs. You know, treating him like the bellcow back he is

Arthur Smith taking Bijan out of the game because he fumbled in a downpour
Coaches don’t pull stud QBs for throwing INTs, coaches don’t pull stud WRs for dropping the ball

Arthur Smith fooled us all. He made us think Bijan was starting to become a focal point in the offense, just to have him do this in the first round of the fantasy playoffs.
