I mean, there was rumors initially that he might go to Dallas, which would have been, frankly, a disaster from a fantasy perspective because it would have tanked both him and Tony Paul.īut the fact that he goes to Atlanta, and I know there's some concern about Tyler Allgeier. This would be the one team you would actually pick above everyone else. And I think the thing with Bijan is this is probably the best possible landing spot in terms of fantasy value. So I mean, I think he's an immediate top-five fantasy running back this year. And all due respect to Patterson, who I love, who I've always carried the flag for. I mean, they found some success the last two years with Patterson, using his versatility in a bunch of different ways. So I think Bijan Robinson is basically like a rich man's version of Cordarrelle Patterson. You can do a lot of different things, put him in motion. To your point, like we talked about this on draft night, you can put him in the slot. I'm not saying Bijan Robinson is Derrick Henry. 718 touches in the two seasons that Smith was the OC for Tennessee, that's in the realm of possibility here. And I think you think about Arthur Smith as the offensive coordinator in Tennessee, when he had Derrick Henry. Had the second most running back carries with a fifth-round rookie in Cordarrelle Patterson. And Bijan Robinson lands in Atlanta a team that led the NFL in running back rushing yards last year. Sometimes it's players on their teams hate, of course, is the opposite. I mean, first off, we should just sort of paraphrase that, hey, love/hate is about players whose fantasy stock improved because of what their teams did during the NFL draft. So Berry, I mean, a lot to love with this selection, this landing spot. And why not? And that gives you a lot of hope for Bijan Robinson, who is an immensely talented three-down player out of the backfield. You look at Arthur Smith, I mean, when he was the offensive coordinator for Tennessee into 2019-2020.
