Bijan has 103 carries to Tyler's 116.

Bijan is 22nd in rushing attempts, and is 41st in redzone rushing attempts (seriously what the actual fuck).

It is absolutely criminal his usage. Even if he was a 7th round pick, with that production, I would expect him to be RB1, but the EIGHTH pick to be used like this is shocking.

I cannot comprehend what Arthur Smith thinks is best for the team, when our 3 best offensive skill positions are basically just used as decoys.

Any Falcons fan could tell you that Kyle Pitts would be 1st team all pro on most teams, the man catches literally anything and is always open, but nah, Jonnu Smith is our guy.

it is really strange because bijan is the type of guy you use to break a defense down over the course of the game. by using him as a decoy or like kamara in his rookie season (less than that) you minimize the benefits of his rare size/speed combo. i get not wanting to run him like zeke but they would probably really benefit from a workload like 75% of that
