Tyler Allgeier Headlines Falcons' Rushing Attack In Week 4 Win

2 months ago

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier rushed for 60 yards on eight carries during Sunday's Week 4 win over the New Orleans Saints. He also got involved as a pass-catcher, hauling in each of his two targets for a total of 20 yards through the air. Allgeier finished with more rushes and more rushing yards than teammate Bijan Robinson, but he was slightly less productive than his backfield-mate in the passing game. Regardless of how the two running backs compared on Sunday, Allgeier showcased that he is capable of having standalone value in fantasy football even when Robinson is healthy. Allgeier should be viewed as a low-end RB3/FLEX play going forward, starting with Week 5 against a Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense that has surrendered big gains to Saquon Barkley, Tyler Badie, David Montgomery, Jahmyr Gibbs, Austin Ekeler, and Brian Robinson Jr. so far this year.
