Tyler Allgeier Rushes 21 Times

one year ago

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier started with Bijan Robinson (illness) sidelined during Sunday's Week 7 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The second-year back saw 21 carries in this game with Cordarrelle Patterson as his primary backup. Sadly, Allgeier struggled on the ground with only 59 yards. He was able to somewhat salvage his fantasy value with three receptions for 53 yards through the air. The assumption is that Allgeier will return to his backup role next week with this likely being a one-game absence for Robinson. That means, Allgeier should be viewed as a RB3 or flex option for Week 8 against the Tennessee Titans.
