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.

yet is RB2 to Tyler Allgeier.

In fact he's not RB2. He has almost twice the snap count as Allgeier. He has more total touches. In the Tampa game, he was out injured after just 1 touch, Allgeier would go on to have 24 total touches without Bijan. Excluding that Tampa game, The touch count is 130-103 in favor of Bijan. Allegier only has more touches in week 1, and last week. Week 1 should be expected, Bijan is a rookie, and Allgeier had a 1k season last year. Even last week, Allgeier had 1 more touch, yet only had 35% offensive snaps to Bijan's 61%

Bijan should absolutely be more involved, but in no way is he your RB2. Only real time Allgeier is your RB1 is when Bijan is injured. Being more involved can be said of many players on that offense tbf. Pitts at least needs more targets, he's a fantastic receiving TE.
