Obviously happy with the win, which is all that matters and Bijan is finally starting to get better usage, but it is yet another game under 20 touches for him. For context, here are players this year with more 20-touch games than Bijan:
Christian McCaffrey
Raheem Mostert
Brian Robinson
Josh Jacobs
Travis Etienne
Derrick Henry
Saquon Barkley
D’Andre Swift
Joe Mixon
Tony Pollard
Isaiah Pacheco
Rachaad White
James Cook
Kenneth Walker
Rhanondre Stevenson
Zack Moss
Javonte Williams
David Montgomery
Alvin Kamara
Kyren Williams
Austin Ekeler
Jonathan Taylor
That’s now 22 players with more 20-touch games than Bijan, and only Kyren Williams and Raheem Mostert are averaging more ypc.
Can’t help but think how much easier things would be if the team fed its best player more.
We are saving his knees. We are platooning him with 2 other backs. Know one should have an issue with his usage yesterday unless you are a fantasy degenerate
