Tyler Allgeier's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier carried the ball 12 times for 43 yards in Monday's 15-9 win over the Raiders. Bijan Robinson was given 22 carries, so Allgeier was spelling his backfield mate at times throughout the game and helping to kill the clock late when it seemed clear that the Falcons did not want Kirk Cousins throwing the ball if he didn't need to. It was the first time since Week 10 that the 24-year-old earned double-digit carries, but without finding paydirt, it was an unremarkable fantasy performance. Without a consistent workload or goal line role, the former fifth-round draft pick is hard to justify as even a flex option, more so now that we're in the fantasy playoffs. The Falcons get the Giants at home next Sunday and Allgeier will probably again only be used sporadically, especially given how good Robinson has looked this season.

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier scored his third touchdown of the season in a 42-21 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. The third-year back finished the game with nine carries for 63 yards and a score but didn't post any stats in the passing game. Allgeier now has two weeks as an RB2 or higher after this performance. He's not very reliable for fantasy managers in the playoffs unless injuries pile up. The Falcons will take on the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 15.

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier carried the ball eight times for 16 yards and even caught a pass for six yards in Sunday's 17-13 loss to the Chargers. The eight carries were encouraging given that he didn't receive even a single attempt last week, but it was still a drop in the bucket compared to Bijan Robinson's 26 carries and six receptions, so Robinson managers need not worry about Allgeier cutting into his workload. With Allgeier averaging 5.7 yards per rush earlier in the season, there may have been some reason to give the 24-year-old more work, but that has slowly trended downward, now averaging 4.8 YPR. With Robinson looking like one of the most talented workhorse backs in the league, Allgeier remains an afterthought for fantasy. Unless it sounds like the Falcons will try to hide Kirk Cousins' arm in Week 14, there likely won't be a reason to use the third-year pro in most lineups.

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier disappeared in Week 11, not recording a single carry after the team quickly fell behind to the Broncos and abandoned the run. Fresh off their bye week, Week 13's matchup with the Chargers should be more competitive, however, it's hard to project what Allgeier's involvement will be as he's waffled between single and double-digit carries each of the last seven games (6-18-5-12-6-11-0). Los Angeles has been tough against the run, yielding the fifth-fewest fantasy points to running backs, and has allowed a league-low five rush TDs. The 24-year-old isn't a factor in the passing game either, which makes him a risky RB4 this week, although he remains a strong handcuff to Bijan Robinson if managers have an available roster spot.

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier did not receive a single carry in Sunday's 38-6 loss to the Broncos but caught a pass for the first time in four weeks, although it was for a one-yard loss. The Falcons fell behind quickly and trailed the entire game, so the running game suffered, but even when many of the starters came out of the game in the fourth quarter, it was not Allgeier who entered for Bijan Robinson, but rookie Jase McClellan, who received eight carries in garbage time. Had the game been closer, Allgeier likely would have been more involved, so the 24-year-old will look to get back on track in Week 13 against the Chargers. Los Angeles has been good against the run, though, so the former fifth-round draft pick will likely be in the RB3/4 range for fantasy purposes.
