If there’s one thing that really annoys NFL players, it’s working hard to make it to the top level of their profession, helping their team win a game, only to get home and deal with a firestorm of angry fantasy football players.
Falcons running back Brian Hill can attest to this. After being projected as a potential fantasy breakout performer against a middle-of-the-road Panthers run defense, he finished the game with just 38 all-purpose yards — with a rushing touchdown that was called back after a penalty.
This led to predictable whining on social media from Hill’s fantasy owners. Atlanta’s running back had a message to the many who felt the need to personally tell him about their terrible fantasy misfortunes:
Hill doesn’t care, nor should he. He has little control over his role each week or his fantasy impact. Plus, Hill helped his actual team get a win on Sunday, which should count for something.
