Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier was not able to get much going against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. The second-year back rushed six times for 24 yards, while hauling in all three of his targets for 10 yards through the air in the loss. Despite the Falcons drafting Bijan Robinson in the first round, Allgeier remain a consistent part of the Falcons offense. He rushed 186 times for 683 yards with four touchdowns, while adding 18 receptions for 193 yards and an additional touchdown through the air. The assumption is that the Falcons are going to stick with this two-back committee next season. That means, Allgeier will hold some flex appeal and possibly more if Robinson ever goes down with an injury in 2024.

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier has taken a backseat in this offense during the second half of this season. Over the last five games, Allgeier has seen nine or less carries in four of those five contests. Rookie back Bijan Robinson has taken over as the workhorse back, which leaves Allgeier with a minimal role. That being said, it's tough to imagine Allgeier having a ton of success against the New Orleans Saints this weekend. He rushed for 64 yards on 10 carries during their last meeting. Fantasy managers can hope for similar results, but he probably won't be worth the risk.

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier was out-touched by fellow back Bijan Robinson, but was still able to make an impact during Sunday's game.

Allgeier took a screen pass on the opening play of the drive for a 75-yard touchdown. Outside of that, Allgeier did basically nothing throughout this contest. He'll be a risky flex option versus the New Orleans Saints in the regular season finale.

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier hasn't seen a ton of action on the ground lately. In fact, Allgeier has single digit carries in three of his last five games. It appears the Falcons have finally decided to lean on Bijan Robinson more in the running game. The Falcons haven't involved Allgeier much in the passing game, so he's pretty much a one dimensional player. That being said, Allgeier won't have strong appeal against the Chicago Bears defense. A defensive unit that has done well against the rushing attack. They struggle to contain backs in the receiving game, but Allgeier barely gets one target per game. That being said, Allgeier will be desperation deep league flex option for Week 17.
Dec 29, 2023 9:49 AM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier was able to have plenty of success on the ground during Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts. Allgeier rushed nine times for 69 yards and scored a touchdown in the win. It's worth noting that a majority of those yards came on a 31-yard score in the third quarter.

However, Allgeier has seen his workload take a hit lately, but saw an uptick last week. It's difficult to know what the Falcons plan to do on a weekly basis. Allgeier does have a plus matchup versus the Indianapolis Colts next week. Despite that, Allgeier isn't anything more an a touchdown-dependent option.
Dec 21, 2023 6:51 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier has seen a decreased role in the offense over the last few weeks. However, the young back seemed to function as the lead back for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. Allgeier rushed the ball 14 times for 45 yards during the loss. Normally, Allgeier functions as the primary backup to Bijan Robinson. However, Robinson only saw seven touches in this game. It was a bad game all around for the Falcons offense.

Allgeier might hold low-end RB3 value, but it depends on what the Falcons decide to do in the backfield.
Dec 17, 2023 9:48 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier has been limited to single digit carries in three of his last four games. The Falcons are now starting to lean on rookie back Bijan Robinson in the backfield. That means, Allgeier is having a decreased role in the rushing game and remains a non-factor in the receiving game. The Falcons do use a run-heavy offensive gameplan, but it's not enough to give Allgeier reliable value. He does have plus matchup against the Carolina Panthers, but remains a risky RB4 for Week 15.
Dec 15, 2023 9:57 AM EST

The difference between the two was that Robinson was able to score a touchdown and get involved in the receiving game. Allgeier continues to be the second option in this running attack. That is likely going to remain the case going forward. Fantasy managers shouldn't consider Allgeier anything more than a RB4 for the Week 15 matchup against the Carolina Panthers.
Dec 10, 2023 10:09 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier has taken a backseat in the rushing attack over the last few weeks. In fact, Allgeier has topped 50 rushing yards once over the last five games. In those contests, Allgeier has seen double digit touches just twice. The Falcons appear committed to Bijan Robinson as the lead back in this offense. That means, Allgeier is unlikely to have a big role while Robinson is healthy. It's hard to imagine Allgeier having much success in a limited role versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this weekend. He'll be a touchdown-dependent option for Week 14.
Dec 8, 2023 10:09 AM EST

Dec 3, 2023 7:48 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier has seen a reduced role in the offense over the last four games. In fact, Allgeier has seen 10 or fewer carries in three of those four contests. Fellow back Bijan Robinson has been seeing a bulk of the carries and is playing extremely well right now. That being said, the Falcons are likely going to continue giving Robinson nearly 20 carries per game. That means, Allgeier is probably going to fall into RB3 or a touchdown-dependent option in fantasy formats. He does have a decent matchup against the New York Jets in Week 13, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect too much from Allgeier.
Nov 30, 2023 5:48 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier began the season splitting the backfield duties with rookie Bijan Robinson.

On Sunday, Allgeier rushed 10 times for 64 yards in the win over the New Orleans Saints. A majority of his carries came in the fourth quarter as the Falcons were just trying to run out the clock.

Nov 26, 2023 9:12 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier has been held to 39 rushing yards or less in each of the last three games. The young back has only scored one touchdown on the ground since the season opener. He also continues to lose snaps to emerging rookie back Bijan Robinson. That being said, it's tough to imagine Allgeier being a trustworthy fantasy option for Week 12. He'll get a New Orleans Saints defense that has defended well against the run all season long.

Nov 23, 2023 9:11 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier was unable to get much going on the ground this week. Fellow back Bijan Robinson saw a majority of the carries, which is a bit surprising.

Nov 12, 2023 10:47 PM EST

The expectation is that Allgeier will continue getting significant carries in this offense. He's normally not a great fantasy option, but does have a favorable matchup against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 10. A defense that has allowed the fourth-most rushing yards this season. Fantasy managers should be able to count on Allgeier as a possible flex option for this upcoming game.
Nov 10, 2023 11:10 AM EST

Nov 5, 2023 9:19 PM EST

His usage has been all over the place this season, which is frustrating for fantasy managers. The Falcons continue to split up the workload between Allgeier and rookie back Bijan Robinson. However, Robinson is more of the lead back, so Allgeier doesn't always get a ton of work. That being said, Allgeier is tough to trust as anything more than a low-end flex option right now. He could have a tough time finding room to run against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 9.
Nov 3, 2023 10:00 AM EST

Fantasy managers should consider Allgeier a possible RB3 for this upcoming Week 8 matchup.
