Sunday was not a good day to play Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson in fantasy.
Robinson recorded zero touches on six snaps through one half of Week 7 action against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Falcons head coach Arthur Smith said at halftime that Robinson was “just not feeling that great,” per Falcons media’s Tori McElhaney, but the running back was still active for the game and surprised many watching along.
Fantasy managers were not impressed with the Falcons’ decision to keep Robinson active for the game despite the reported health issue.
Fantasy managers with Robinson on their team questioned why the rookie running back was given the chance to block, but not to run the ball.
Robinson headed into Sunday’s game with 401 yards on 80 rushing attempts through six starts with the Flacons. He added 189 receiving yards and two touchdowns on 26 catches.
Fantasy owners should keep a close eyes on Falcons news reports to determine Robinson’s Week 8 status ahead of Atlanta’s contest against the Tennessee Titans next Sunday.
