Tyler Allgeier Fantasy

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier had 135 rushing yards in the team's 30-17 Week 18 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The rookie running back ended the season playing excellent football. Over the past four weeks, the former BYU star averaged 107.8 rushing yards per game, totaling at least 74 in every contest. Furthermore, Allgeier had 135 or more rushing yards in two of those games. While he didn't find the end zone or have a reception, the rookie had his fifth game this season with over 13.5 half-point PPR fantasy points in Week 18. Given his play to end the year, Allgeier should be the lead back for the Falcons next season.

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier has played well lately. Over the past three weeks, the rookie has been the RB5, averaging 17.3 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. The former BYU star has averaged 18.3 rushing attempts per game during that span, earning at least 17 in every contest. More importantly, Allgeier has at least 95 scrimmage yards in three straight games, averaging 116 yards per game during that span. This week he faces the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They have held running backs to only 17 fantasy points per game this season, the sixth-fewest in the NFL. Furthermore, Tampa Bay held the Atlanta backfield to only 3.8 yards per rushing attempt in the Week 5 matchup between these two teams. Allgeier is a solid RB2 despite the poor matchup.
