Tyler Allgeier Fantasy

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier came out of the gate quick with a strong performance during the season opener. Since then, Allgeier has slowed down with only 60 yards on 23 carries over his last two games. That good news is, Allgeier appears to have a weekly role in this backfield. However, Bijan Robinson might continue to pull away as the lead back. That means, Allgeier might not have much fantasy value for long, assuming he doesn't pick up his performance. He won't be an ideal fantasy option for the Week 4 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Allgeier should be considered a RB4 for this game.

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier was the RB4 overall in standard scoring formats in Week 1 but had a disappointing Week 2 effort with 16 carries for 48 yards. However, his workload is still respectable enough to roll the dice on him in FLEX spots, especially in the deep leagues. In Week 3 against the Detroit Lions, the Falcons will continue to adopt a run-first approach and should have success on the ground. Allgeier is dependent on touchdowns to pay off in fantasy football, but he should have a good chance at finding the end zone against a mediocre defense. His workload could be reduced as the season moves forward, so now is the time to get the value out of him in fantasy lineups.

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier rushed the ball 16 times for 48 yards in the team's 25-24 victory over the Green Bay Packers. It was once again a healthy workload for the RB2 in Atlanta, who saw 15 carries in Week 1. This time around, the former fifth-round pick didn't see much running space. His 3.0 yards per carry tied for the second-lowest number in any game in his short career. Also unlike Week 1, Allgeier failed to score. The workload is still encouraging and it appears he will continue to split work with rookie Bijan Robinson. He'll be considered a flex candidate in Week 3 against the Detroit Lions.
